MISS ROUND WINS FOR BRITAIN
With the possibility of England winning three champion- ships and the certainty of witnessing a glorious afternoon's play, the final Saturday of Wimbledon atträcted a bigger, crowd than ever," The question most eagerly discussed was the destination of the Ladies' Singles. Could Miss Dorothy Round repeat her grand victory of three years ago, or would the hammering blows of Panna Jedrzejowska prove too heavy for her?
Of only slightly less absorbing Interest was the problem as to whether G. P. Hughes and C. R. D. Tockey could keep the title, which | they won last year, when facing the storming tactics of D. Budge and G. Mako, America's formidable

However, the American played well within himself and in the third set raced to five-love on his cannonball service which caused much amusement. In the fourth set Budge led 3-1 and 4-3-before winning at 6-3. The match was played in a delightful care-free spirit.
