Choy Holds His Own Against Roderick Menzel

Sensation-mongers at Wimbledon yesterday were not disappointed, when it was announced that Miss Helen Jacobs, United States No. 1 woman player, had fainted in the dressing room just before she was due to take the court against Miss Joan Ingram the British Wightman Cup player.

Miss Ingram, says a Reuter report, sportingly agreed to postpone the match, which will be played to-day.

The day's schedule was confined to further progress
