MISS JACOBS BEATEN

WIMBLEDON SURPRISE. GREAT WIN FOR MISS ROUND. CHILEAN ALSO ELIMINATED. (United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) Received June 30, 11.55 a.m. LONDON, June 29. The chief interest at Wimbledon today centred on Mine. Mathieu, whom it would be not unchivalrous to call a veteran, who created one of the few sensations of the tournament by beating the volatile Senorita Lizana, who had been tipped as a finalist. Aline. Mathieu's super-steadiness and scientific play were always too good for tfie Chilean, who fought hard. Mile. Jedrzejowska’s terrific forehand accuracy enabled a runaway .victory over Miss Scriven. Miss Marble was behind I—3 in the final set against Fru. Sperling and she won the match chiefly by storming the net, volleying and drop shotting. Miss Round, whose recent improvement was shown by her easy defeat of Countess de la Valdene yesterday, played the game of her life to-day, beating the title-holder, Miss Jacobs. The Englishwoman showed general superiority and returned even Miss Jacobs’s famous chop shot with ease. She won many points by raiding the net and killing Miss Jacobs’s returns. It was a surprise victory. WOMEN'S SINGLES. Quarter-Finals. Mile. Jedrzejowska (Poland) , beat Miss Scriven (Britain), 6—l, 6—2. Mme. Mathieu (France) beat Senorita Lizana (Chile), 6—3, 6 —3.
