MDME. MATHIEU DISHEARTENED

JOAN HARTIGAN PLAYS OLD FASHIONED STROKES AGAINST VIRILE MISS JACOBS

· For the first time for over two decades, England is represented in the final of both the Mon's and Women's singles at Wimbledon.. "Yesterday Miss Dorothy Round followed in the footsteps of Fred Perry, and entered the last stage of the women's event, being accompanied by Miss Helen Jacobs of America.

This will be Miss Jacobs third appearance in the final, and Miss Round's second. Neither have yet won the title. Miss Jacobs was beaten by Mrs. Wills-Moody in straight sets in 1929 and again in 1932, whereas last year Miss Round took a set from Mrs. Moody..

Both players are ranked No. 1 in their respective national ranking lists, and although the standard of the semi-finals was disappointing,-to-day's encounter is expected to furnish an entertaining spectacle.

Miss Jacobs is favourite in view of the very fine form she has shown right through the tournament, and as a result of her Wightman Cup victory over Miss Round last month.

London, July 5. Miss Dorothy Round had all the luck in her match with Madame Mathieu whom she beat 6-4, 5-7, 6-2. A wood shot, a neteorder and a bad decision gave the English girl vital points in all three sets, and these adverse tricks of fate eventually upset the Frenchwoman, who offered trast in styles.
