HELEN v. HELEN

In Wimbledon Singles

(Special Air Mall Service)

Loridon, July 6. Dorothy Round, women's singles champlon, beaten on merit by plucky little Joan Hartigan" from Australia, writes a correspondent. This was the big sensation at Wimbledon. The score was 4-6, 6-4, 6-3

It was indeed a pathetic day for English hopes. Miss Katharine Stammers was also beaten by Mme. "Sperling, of Denmark... 7-5,

Yet Katharine had a 5-1 lead in the second set.

In the other quarter-finals Mrs. Wills Moody--the real Helen at last-overwhelmed the famous French player, Mme, Mathien. 6-3, 6-0 and Miss Helen Jacobs beat Mile. Jedrzejowska (Poland); 6-1, 9-7.

The semi-finals are Miss Horti- gar v. Mrs. Wills Moody: Misa Jacobs v. Mme. Sperling. Two Helens in the final? A battle royal if it is!

Dorothy had started an odds-on favourite for the title. Joan, of the demure frocks and nervous little walk. bad struggled desperately from the very first round.

WRONG SURMISE

All her previous matches had gone to three sets, "

On paper she was simply no match for the champion. Imagine the surprise, therefore, when this altogether charming young Aus- tralian was twice within a stroke of a 5-2 lead in the Arst set.

Indeed, at the second of these points she had, an easy volley to play. She played It with a suspicion of hesitation, it lacked

snap, and Miss, Round raced across the court to make a perfect pass- ing drive.

"That's where experience comes in." we in the stands said to our- selves. As Joan began to make mistakes, and Dorothy to reel of the games we contented ourselves that this

matter of experience.

In case we had frogotten how she fought in this same round last year against Peggy Scriven, Joan then made us sit bolt upright again.

Fierce forehand broadsides and a commendably safe backhand carried her to 2-love, 3-1, 41, 5-1 and-here a gasp-set-point in the second set

NO REPRIEVE

Dorothy saved that pont, but in the next game was 15-40 on her service.

"STARVING THE

SERVICES

First Lord & Naval Defence.

Bir Bolton Eyres-Monsell, First Lord of the Admiralty," speaking at complimentary dinner given him by the 1900 Club at Claridge's said that the British people had a genius for starving the fighting services in times of peace, and then, when the deficiencies were found out," in- variably hanging the wrong people. In the last four years, he said, we had had to swim against a public opinion which was opposed

Dorothy played three of the weakest returns into the net it is possible to imagine, and so bade her title an inglorious farewell.

Miss Round had played indes- cribably badly against the great stuff the Australian girl put across.

STRATEGIC ERBOR Next to the Centre Court came Mrs. Wills Moody, under no such shadow of depression as had affected her game the day before, when abe nearly went out to little Miss Cepkova.

"AIR LARGESSE" This country, he added, had been made uneasy about the air menace. There were a good many people who, in the last few years, had not worried about the public ser.. vices who would now force on the Air Ministry more than that Min- istry could digest Such largesse had not come his way.
