DISCOVERS WEAKNESS IN AMERICAN'S PLAY

HENNER HENKEL IMPRESSES

(By "AIR MAIL")

Wimbledon, June 22, THE finest match of the crowded day's programme of men's and women's singles was that on the Centre Court between Mrs. Moody and Mrs. H. C. Hopman, captain of the Australian women's team. Mrs. Hopman discovered a weak point in Mrs. Moody's armour, and hammered away at it, but was beaten 6-3, 6-4.

The shot was a deep drive to Mrs. Moody's back hand. The American had to run sideways, and generally out of court, in an effort to reach the ball, and when she did manage to return it Mrs. Hopman was offered an easy second shot.

Mrs. M. R. King, 6-2, 4-6, 6-4.

Miss Jedrzejowską (Poland) beat

Mrs. P. Knight beat Miss M. Baum- garten (Hungary), 10-8, 7-5.

The crucial part of the match Miss M. Stewart beat Miss N. B. came in the second set, in which Brown, 6-1, 7-5. Mrs. Hopman led 3-1 and 3-2. The sixth game went to nine deuces, and lasted for ten min- utes, before Mrs. Moody levelled at 3-all. She was tired by her] exertions, but won convincingly.

"JED" DROPS ANOTHER SET Miss Alice Marble was guilty of a lot of loose play in the first set against the South African, Miss F: Piercey, and dropped. four: games, but she won the second without losing a game..

For the second match in succession Miss Jedrzejowska dropped a set, this time to Mrs. M. R. King, Britain's Wightman Cup captain, who ran tre mendously hard to retrieve the Polish girl's high-powered drives, and guided her own forehand shots down the line. Miss Jedrzejowska was slightly handi- capped by a blister on the little finger of her racket hand, but she won 6-2, 1-6, 6-4.

Weight is no handicap to a darts player. This was shown at Dorches ter on June 14 when the first heavyweight darts championship was held between Mr. Dennis of Portsmouth, who turns the scale at 26 stone and Mr. Henry Hansford, of Dorchester, who was only 23 stone. Owing to there being no penny in-the-slot machine that could copo with the weight of these two, the weighbridge, at the Gas Works was brought into use. An ordinary man, is see here in the centre to give some idea of the com- petitors' size. (Copyright, Fox, by Air Mail).
