UMPIRE REVERSES HIS DECISION

An unpleasant incident which occurred through a line, umpire's decision marred what would have been one of the greatest women's matches in the history of the tour

nament.

In the final of the Men's Doubles Jean Borotra and Jacques Brug on (France), the holders, beat R. Nuusi and Jiro Satoh (Japan) -4-6, 6-3, 7-5, *

Only Mrs. Lambert Chambers, the British player, has a better record than Poker Face Helen She won the title on seven occa sions. Suzanne Lenglen won it six times.

Miss Round is the first player to win a set from Mrs. Moody for six years.

Mrs. Moody again subdued her stroke power and was content to produce no greater spred than her opponent, who drove splendidly, but who failed to show much court craft.

Miss Round also missed oppor- tunities at the net by ragged vol leying.

In the first at Miss Hound fed 32, but the holder levelled at 3- all. At 4-all the American took the ninth game from love-thirty, and the tenth from love 15 to win the first set.
