Miss Jacobs's mother tried to keep her accident a secret from Helen, and while in hospital gave an assumed name, but friends of Miss Jacobs, innocently telephon- ing her last Sunday to inquire of her mother's condition, were the cause of the secret being let out.

UNNERVED

Miss Jacobs, it is stated here, was naturally unnerved, but was sporting enough not to mention it until journalists, hearing of the accident from another source, questioned her on the subject.

The sole surviving Frenchman, Yvon "Petra, was knocked out of the Men's Singles by Joseph Hunt (U.S.A.), who won at 6-4, 4-6, 6-4, 97 in the fourth round.

Gilbert Hunt, another American, caused a surprise by entering the last eight at the expense of Robert Riggs, by 6–2, 0—6, 06, 64.

~COMING CHAMPION. Gene Mako and Bromwich, the Australian, also entered the last eight. The former beat Franjo Puncec (Yugoslavia), 6–2, 64, 9-7, and Bromwich defeated Frank Parker (U.S.A.), 6–2, 63, 62.

Following her victory over Miss Jacobs, Miss Lumb. is being halled as one of the leading" women players, «and: some American writers say that in two years time she will be the world No. 1 player: Allson Danzig, the well-known tennis writer of the "New York Times," said:"Miss Lumb gave one of the finest exhibitions I have seen for a very long time Her footwork was marvellous, her lob. bing" remarkable, and her driving comparable to Mrs. Moody with this exception -- It is harder.
