Dorothy Round

To Stay The Pace

In A Terrific Game

By STANLEY N. DOUST

London, June 1.

In the outstanding lawn tennis match of the season, so far, Helen Jacobs beat Dorothy Round (Mrs. D. Little) in the semi-final of the Priory Club singles, in Birmingham, yesterday, by 4-6, 6-3, 6-3.

After losing the first two Miss Jacobs warmed to her work and kept the rallies going well, if de-

preference to her newly acquired flat one, and won the third game. Games went with the service till the eighth, when Miss Jacobs broke through to square the set.

"I am improving every time 1fensively, using a cut forehand in play," she said. "I enjoyed the match

as a game and as a help to get AL."

Considering the pace she set by her forcing drives, and Miss Jacobs answering-sizzling returns with her forehand and beautiful flat backhand drives, all so well placed that each miles-the exercise Dorothy got must be helpful for Wimbledon.

Miss Jacobs, playing us well as she has ever done in her life, led 4-2. and so snappy was her service that in the next game she seed Dorothy twice in succession. the ball being steered accurately down the centre line.

Helen took the set, and it seemed all over when, with Dorothy making many errors, she took the first two games in the final set and went on to 3-1.
