MAGNIFICENT BATTLE IN THE MEN'S DOUBLES
Australians Extend Schroeder & Mulloy
A magnificent Men's Wimbledon, London, June 30. - Doubles, in which, after a battle of two and a half hours, the United States pair, Ted Schroeder and Gardnar Mulloy, entered the final by beating the Australians, Geoffrey Brown and Bill Sid- well, today dwarfed the Women's Singles semi-finals, which left the Americans, Louise Brough, the holder, and Margaret Osborne Pont to contest Saturday's final.
Du
The American pair, seeded No. 1, won by 6-4, 3-6, 6-8, 6-3, 9-7 after one of the finest doubles in Wimbledon's long history. The Australians were unseeded, but they made it a touch and go male throughout and were within two points of the match at 6-4 in the final set and twice within one point of victory at 6-5. Each time the Americans fought back in spectacular fashion, chiefly due to the amazing powers of recovery by Schroeder.
Schroeder was the man of the match so far as the two Americans
were concerned, for Mulloy was not quite up to his best form.
Sidwell was the better of the Australians for though Brown had his great moments he was patchy, whereas Sidwell was as steady as a rock and as cool as the proverbial cucumber, despite the torrid heat.

Two Turpins Out For The Middleweight Title
By ARCHIE QUICK
1 Dick Turpin of Leamington, Britain's first coloured boxing champion, had lost his middleweight title to Albert Finch of Croydon instead of gaining a disputed points decision we should have witnessed the unique sight of the loser's brother challenging the winner for his newly won championship. For that was the intention of Randolph Turpin who, I have no doubt whatsoever, is the best middleweight in the country.
J
Let us leave young Jackle out, of it and concentrate on Dick and Randolph. No two brothers could contrast more violently. Dick is slim and defensive at 29 years of age; Randolph sturdy and all for attack at 21, an age at which he has just qualified to fight for a championship.
The Turpins, their mother and father, and their manager Bob Middle- ton, have all agreed that the brothers shall never meet in the ring, so rather callously I say the sooner Dick luses his title and Randolph gets on with the job the better it will be for British boxing.
