MISS WILLS'S TITLE.

London, July 5.

In sunny boisterous weather, all the main events in the Wimbledon Championships were brought to their final stage to-day. Apart from the final of the women's

singles, which was all-American and naturally resulted in Miss Wills retaining the title Helen which she won in 1927 and 1928, it proved to be Britain's day.

Mixed Doubles: 1. G. Collins

and Miss Jean Fry (Bri- Lain) v. F. T. Hunter and Miss Wills (U.S.A.).

No Thrills..

The final of the women's singles to-day was almost devoid of thrills. Miss Helen Wills was nover sorlously opposed. She Was driving relentlessly from start to finish, wearing a serious expres- ⚫sion which indicated that she in- tended to leave nothing to chance.

Miss Jacoba could not find a length and she was kept running from one side of the court to the other, Miss Wills led by 3 games to one in the first set, and she went to six-one with ease, only once placing the ball into the net. Miss Jacaba put up a terrific fight for the last game in the first set, and deuce, was called no fewer then seven times. The game and set, however, went to Miss Wills.

Mies Jacobs Outplayed,

In the second set, Mias Jacobn 'Bhe tried to change her tactics, struggled up to the net but was driven back by well-placed strokes, and then she tried lobs which were killed summarily.
