By STANLEY N. DOUST

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.

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 in 3-1.

A LITTLE HASTY

Dorothy, a great fighter, won the 5th, lost the next, being a little hasty In going for her winning shots, but won the 7th game.

The crowd became wildly excited when she won the first two points for the next game on Miss Jacobs's ser- vier, but a grand back-hand shot down the line and two fine services settled the issue of that game and the match, for Dorothy was out- played in the last gume.

To-day Miss Jacobs meets Senorita Anita Lizana (Mrs. R. Ellis) in the final. These two have met only once, and that was in the quarter. final at Wimbledon in 1938, the year Miss Jacobs won the championship. to get her revenge for that de- feat Anita will have to play much better than she did yesterday against Miss Diana Wood, the young Devon- shire player, who lost by 5-7, 6-1, 62.

London, May 25. Simply toying with their opponents, England wound up their football tour of the Continent by beating Rumania last evening at Bucharest. Rejoicing in the fact that they were not called upon to face a gruelling ninety minutes in terrific heat-the match was played in dull, cold weather-the tourists monopolised the play to such an extent that many of their movements carried them down the field without a Rumanian touching the ball..
