DEFEAT FOR WOMEN'S LAWN TENNIS TITLE HOLDER

ENGLAND'S BAD DAY

AT WIMBLEDON

Australian Girl's Attack Beats Dorothy Round

(By H. S. Scrivener)

London, July 3.

The four survivors in the men's singles championship were given a rest from singles play at Wimbledon yester- day, and I daresay they were very glad of it after toiling in Monday's heat. The eight women who were left in the other singles championship accordingly had the field to themselves. Several of them, true to feminine tradition, caused us to wonder what was going to happen next on several occasions, and on the whole I think that our curio- sity was excited oftener than our admiration.

The neusation of the day was, of| Courno, the defeat of the reigning champion, Miss Round. Her epn queror, Miss Hartigan, Australia's Coding Lady, reached the semi-final last year, and in a more finished player now Ear atte then. She possessen

SOUTH AFRICANS WIN TEST

FORTY PER CENT BETTER

(By A. E. R. GILLIGAN)

At five minutes past five last evening, when Cameron stumped Tom Mitchell off Balaskas, the South Africans had gained their first victory in a Test match in England.

Their success was very richly de served, and I have no hesitation in stating that England were completely outplayed in every department of the game. The better team won on its merita Warmest congratulations, therefore, to Herbert Wade on being the first South African skipper to beat us on our own suil.
