MrMBLEDON. Eng.. July 6- 1P
Helen Will Moody, poker-faced dirl
ing of Wimbledon's galleries for more
than t decade, reclaimed the world's
feminine tennis championship today
with as fine and gallant a laet-dltch
rally a the game has ever seen.
Heading Into what aeemed certain
defeat and frustration In the come
back campaign that has stirred the
tennis world, the 29-year-old San
Francisco matron dramatically over
came a 3-8 deficit In the third and
deciding set of her match with Helen
Jacobs. American tl tie-holder for
three years, downed her arch rival
8-6. 7-8, and annexed the all-
England singles crown for the sev
enth time.
Seventeen thousand fans who sat
or stood through the struggle verged
upon hysteria before Miss Jacobs, run
to the point of exhaustion, knocked
the final ball over the back comer
after an hour and 40 minutes of
gruelling play.
Vindicated
The victory supplied all the vindi
cation Mrs. Moody ever will need for
the Incident in the American cham
pionship final 1033 when, suffering
from a back Injury, she walked off
the court In the third set with Miss
Jacobs leading. 8-0. She waaaocuaed
then of quitting, of depriving Miss
Jacobs of a chanoe for a clean-cut,
undisputed victory.
Today, however, she gave a con
clusive rebuff to any one who ever
questioned her fighting heart. Almost
as though she willed It, Mrs. Moody
again gave her fighting adversary a
three game advantage In the third
set, the same advantage Miss Jacobs
bad enjoyed at Forest HUls. She even
spotted Miss Jacobs a 8-2 lead later
In the set and once, In the ninth
game, had match point staring her
In the face.
Then like an avenging goddess,
ahe won five straight games from one
of the gameet fighters who ever don
ned tennis shorts, and pulled the
match out of the fire.
When the final point kicked the
dust over the baseline, the winner
ecstatically toesed her raoquet over
her shoulder almost Into the bleacher
crowd and literally raced to grasp her
defeated rival's hand.
A Weary Loser
Miss Jacobs stood upbravelyasthey
Miss Jao bs stood up bravely as
they walked off side by side and the
crowd stood and roared Its approval
for many minutes.
Then In her dressing room, she lay
prostrate for 48 minutes and on the
Terms of tears.
"Helen deserved to win," Miss Ja
cobs said falterlngly. "X Just couldn't
get that match point.1
Also tuckered out but In imich
better shape than her rival, Mrs.
Moody said:
"Helen played gloriously. I never
expected to win."
One linesman vouched for the fact
that Mine Jacobs played the last three
games In a virtual daze.
"We had to tell her It was her
service in the final game, he arid
'What a wonderful fighter she la."
Had she been fresh. Miss Jacobs
undoubtedly would have won the
match In the ninth game of the final
set when she went to the net for
what appeared to be simple cllt or
Mrs. Moody's weab lob. But, at mntch
point, Mlas Jacobs seemed unable to
lift her racquet high enough for the
decisive stroke and hit futllely In
stead Into the net.
Later with the count at 8-8, MUs
Jacobs needed only one point to
break Mrs. Moody's service and
what might have been a decisive 6-8
lead, but once more ehe drove Into
the net.
She never had another chance as
Mrs. Moody poured terrific drives Into
the back corners.
The entire picture of the match in
retrospect was of Mrs. Moody hitting
out bravely, clipping the sidelines
' snd controlling play throughout On
the other aide of the net Miss Jacobs
shuttled endlessly across the base
line, getting her racquet on whet
seemed to be Impossible drives, never
conceding a point until she hsd given
every ounce of effort she could mus

"I'm glad that you like the new drapes and interior finish of my home. I've paid
for every bit of it by selling odds and ends of things I've stored away and never
use. Mail Tribune Classified ads certainly brought ready buyers. You girls
probably have lots of things packed away that someone else can use. Why not
advertise them in the Mail Tribune and have a little extra spending money.
Classified ads cost so little and I've always had splendid results. You can either
give your address or phone number or place a "blind" ad so that answers will be

Defeated In every start against
Grants Pass since the start of the
regular league season, because of In
ferior pitching, the Medford Rogues
have sworn revenge today, and with
Bouman on the mound expect to an
nihilate the Cavemen forces.
Bouman Is a pitcher brought to
Ashland from the Nebraska circuit by
John MUJus. When Miljus quit as
Ashland's manager some time ago. he
gave Bouman his release. In the first
game between Ashland and Medford,
Bouman was on the mountain for
the Uthiena, and gave the Medford
lads a well remembered licking. His
ability to control his offerings had
the locals helpless during that game,
and they would like to see Ashland
face some of the same medicine.
The gome is called for 2:30.
Rogues Lose
History repeated Itself, true to
form. Friday, and the Grants Pass
Merchants again walloped the Med
ford Rogues, this time in a non-oon-ference
game at the Climate city,

to seven for the Cavemen, they fail

runs. Hoffard and Courtney shared
the pithcing duties In the absence of
Hess. Hoffard Is saving Bouman, the
man who whiffed the Crescent City

Grants Pass at the fairgrounds here.
