AMERICA’S DAY
All CHAMPIONSHIPS WON
WIMBLEDON TENNIS TOURNEY. WOMEN'S SINGLES TO MISS MARBLE. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. LONDON. July 8. Despite intermittent rain before the women’s singles final, which was played today, a crowd assembled in a queue 12 hours before the opening. Miss Marble (U.S.A.) defeated Miss Stammers (Britain), 6-2, 6-0. Miss Marble won the toss. She lost the first point, but from then on she was unbeatably victorious, compelling Miss Stammers to assume the defensive throughout. Miss Stammers won only 11 ..points in the second set. The match lasted half an hour.
The contestants were presented to Queen Mary. After a very long battle Cooke and Riggs defeated Hare and Wilde in the men’s doubles final. The Americans were confident throughout, excelling in their placements and winning* volleys and smashes. Mrs Fabyan and Miss Marble, in the final of the women’s doubles, easily defeated Misses Jacobs and Yorke. Miss Marble here reproduced her attacking game in all its genius, the opponents being outclassed in pace, placements and net work.
