Day Of Sensations

London, To-day. Dorothy Round (Britain), Helen Jacobs (U. S. A.), Fraulein Krak-- winkel (Germany) and Mrs. Wills- Moody (U. S. A. and holder), all of whom are seeded players, have

reached the Semi-Final Round of the Women's Singles at Wimbledon. Sensational play featured the Men's Doubles match. The leading American pair, L. J. Stoeffen and Chifford Sutter, were eliminated by a lesser known British combination; Quist and Turnbull, Australia's No. 12 pair, were beaten by the only New Zealand entrants; and Hughes and Perry were extended to 57 games against a young French pair.

Yesterday Fraulein Krahwinkel, the 1931 finalist, caused a sensation when she eliminated Margarety Scring the Britiali· left-handed player. The German giti did well to win the first set off the winner of French Championship at Auteuil, flost the second set, and then rallied brilliantly to win the final set at 6-1.

Helen Jacobs, last year's finalist, proved altogether too good for Mme. Mathieu, the French champion. Dorothy Round displayed encouraging form to beat Mille. Valerio, the Spanlah champion, in straight

sets.

Playing in ber" second match of the day Dorothy Round, in partner- ship with Mary Heeley, suffered a straight sets defeat in the Women's Doubles.
