WIMBLEDON THE DRAW. THE WESTCHESTER CUP. PROSPECTS OF THE AMERICA RETAIN THE TROPHY. PLAYERS. HURLINGHAM.

FINE GAME AT ENGLAND BEATEN (By Our Polo The United States of America retained the Westchester Cup at Hurhncham, yesterday, when they beat England in the second match of th: yrar's scries by eight goals to six. The should have been played yrstrrday week, but had to be postponed on account of the wet state of ihe ground. Yesterday the ground wore very well, but became rough encufih in the latter half of the game to make missing fairly frequent on both sides. America just aoout deserved to win but there was little in it from start in finich 1 iul iuii ui Luc piety tin very mucn as it had done in the first match. England, after scoring first, gradually slipped behind until, early the fourth period, they were four goals down.

Then came a fine rally, and when the final chukker was begun America were leading bv only one i goal. England simply could not get the Major Harrison got a goal back for lie equalising goal, however, and Mr i Kriaves; before the bell the Maha-D rajah of Jaipur scored again.

Pittman should be in her best form. Finally, Miss Round, who meets Miss Nuthall in the very first round, should win her section, but should then faced by Mme. Sperling, always a most dimcult player to knock out of a tournament. But Miss Round has an excellent habit of playing better and better the further she goes through a tournament, and if she can once play herself in see no reason why she should not repeat her success of 1934. All the same, a great many people would be pleased to see Miss H.

Jacobs win the championship this year. Four times has she appeared in the final: last year she was within a single stroke of being champion: surely it must be her turn. Yet she is not really playing well: her two defeats in the Wightman Cup match are sufficient evidence of that: she will have to show a marked improvement if she is to reach the final, let alone win. Seldom, in either of the two singles events, has the issue been so open. Through seven rounds of singles is a long way to go: to be at the top of your form in one match is of littfle value if you have lost it, even temporarily, in the next.

To be at the top of your form all through is almost too much to expect, or even to hope: what may be hoped for is that the day when you are not too good may happen to coincide with the day when your opponent is not too good either. That is when the luck of the game comes in far more than in any matter of net-cords or mistaken decisions and if there were no luck at all about it half the charm of the game would be gone. No champion has yet won his crown without a Slice or two of good fortune, nor ever will. Perhaps that is only another way of saying that luck follows the man or girl who is playing well. And after all, they are the peopSe who deserve it.

THE DISTRICT TITLES. FOURTEEN RECORDS. HISTORIC MILE WOODERSON. BY (By R. A.

Hewins.) Altogether fourteen records were set up in the district championships which were held yesterday. There were six in the North, at Port Sunlight, one in the Midlands at Luton, and seven in the South at Chelmsford; and the greatest of these was a British record mile of 4 min. 10.8 sec. by S. C.

Wooderson, of Blackheath Harriers, in the ioutfi. i.ven a high hurdles race in equalling the English native record time of 14.8 sec. by D. O. Finlay (Surrey A.C.).

a half-mile by J. V. Powell (L.A.C.) in 1-5 sec. outside the English native record of 1 min. 53.2 sec.

and a quarter by G. L. Rampling (Milocarian A.C.) in 2-5 sec. outside his British record of 48 sec. dead, suffered by comparison with Wooderson's amazing effort.

Outstanding feat in the North was another quarter by W. Roberts I Sal ford A.C.i in 48.6 sec. A. G. K.

Brown (Achilles Ciubi. the most versatile runner this country has ever produced, was the centre of attraction at Luton, where he won the 220 and 880 yards as he liked and made a bold but not quite successful bid to dethrone his brother R. K. Brown, the former A. A.

Experts look exception to the apparent irregularity of his running, but his lap G4.2. 64.6, and 61.8 sec leave nothing to complain about. After all.

He had stated that he meant to go for the record, and the track was specially carefully measured for him in advance. Probably only Lovelock in the world could have held him on tht lay. but the New Zealander elected the half.

He did a brilliant 1 min. 55.8 sec. in this, his first attempt at the distance which augurs as well for his Olympic 1,500 metres prospects as his 14 min. 20 sec. three miles in the Kinnaird Trophy: but Powell was at his best, since he finished seventh in the last Olympic 800 metres.

Wooderson and Lovelock wiil probably not meet until Berlin. Wooderson is lo try the A. A. A. 880 yards, and Lovelock the mile.

Moreover. Lovetork has entered for the Olympic 1.500 and 5.000 metres, and wall not decide whether he will run one race or the other or both until he gets there. Finlay's hurdling was flawdc.ss. as usual: but A. G.

WHITCOMBE BROTHERS IN FORM. (From Our Special Correspondent.) England defeated Scotland in the annual international match between representative professionals of the two countries here on the Royal Liverpool Club's course. The result, 13i matches to 41, in favour of the home country in the preliminary to the Open Championship, which will be begun here to-morrow, was not. unexpected, although the margin was unusually great, England had no fewer than nine Ryder Cup players in her team, Scotland had one, George Duncan, and he, unfortunately, was beaten for the first time in the series, although he has been playing for Scotland more or less continuously for thirty years. The home country also claimed A.

Perry, the Open Champion, who was successful in both singles and foursomes matches, and A. Padgham, who was unexpectedly beaten by J. Adams. When Scotland failed to win a single match in the foursomes the result with England leading by five matches to nil with one game halved was a foregone conclusion, and only Adams's and Laidlaw's great victories and the brilliance of G. G.

Good and J. Fallon, the Scottish tail men. saved Scotland from comolete peliose. England winning the singles by 8 matches lO. A ROUSING START.

When England won five of the six foursomes matches and halved their remaining Kame, there appeared to be Jittie doubt about the uilimrte result nf the contest, but all the matches were nut so one sided as the resulls m.ijnt sugi'st, in top mutch, fur example. Perry aid Ailiss had lo accomplish the lirsfnine holes in ::5 for a 'end of simile hole over Adams Dtiilev Perry, however, did not play his iron snots very weii. tLnninnd. However, won two of the first three holes, but were level at the Adams holed two long pults. one of them at the fourth and another at tile eleventh, to square the match.

After losing the eleventh, where Dailey went out of bounds, the match reached the sixteenth tee all square. Here Dailev was so badlv bun- kered that both he and his' partner made in-i effective attempts to recover, played seven to reach the green, and gave up. Perry and Ailiss played the seventeenth perfectly, and won it in four for the match. Padgham and Lacey, who beat Forrester and Dobson. did not play very well, but even with 39 for the outward half they turned with the lead.

The Scots had opportunities, but allowed them' to slip 'away by indifferent taking three putts on the fifth, eighth and tenth greens. Consequently they were never able seriously to challenge their famous opponents. The brothers C. and R. Whilcombe played some of the best golf of the morning when they beat Duncan and Laidlaw.

who did not make a very good combina- tion. Each tried to excel the other, and each made errors which frequently were 1 not retrieved by his partner. The Whit- rombes. therefore, lost only a single hole, the fifth, whre Charles drove out of bounds, and thry won by the comfortable margin oE 5 and 4. TAKING THEIR CHANCES.

Branch and Cox also played well, and were only iwo over fours when they won, uut Burton and Bus.son. the only English pajr to fail to win their match, played rome ery indirTerent golf. They started with such a scries of errors during the firrit five holes that had McDowaU and Kn irweatner a very useful Scottish com bination availed themselves of ad the tnano's they had. they fivp im As it wai the might have been English rombina- lion svUied down to much steadier goir, turned one up. but could not maintain the advantage in the rand fight on the home-ward ha'f.

Some of the best Eolf of the afternoon was phived bv two of Scotland's young professionals W. Laidlaw, who beat J. J. Busson by 4 and J. Fallon, who triumphed over C.

Denny. Although having a score of one under fours for fourteen holes, uenny was beaten by 5 and 4. Fallon was out in to lead bv two holes, and when the match finished was five under lours. Busson was unable to win a hole going out against Laidlaw, who required only thirty-four strokes for the first nine and was "four up. He increased hisT lead to five at the but then lost the next two holes.

He was bunkered at the 11th and then toqk three putts at the 12lh. He became four up auain at the long 14th. which he won in 4, and secured the necessary half for victory at liie next. The bin surprise of the malch was the defeat of A. Padgham, the favourite for the Championship, by J.

Adams, the professional, who sained an unexpected victory, in the Penfold Scottish Tournament at Bt-lieisle last week. Adams is a fine puller, and it wan in this deparWneht of ihe same thai he dominated the match. Padeham was not at his best, and conse-i quentlv he was twice one down, before he I reached the cijihth sreen, with the match ail square. i STARTLING PUTTING ERRORS. To the surprise of the spectators, Padgham missed a putt of a yard here and was one i down for the third time.

Padgham made i an even more startling putting error at the I ninth, missing from not much more than.i a foot, to square the match, and he was given no further opportunity. Adams 'holing I nut from seven or eight yards won the 1 1 eleventh in two, and having lost the twelfth where he was bunkered, Adams won the 1 li.rteent'n, lo be two up. The end came Adams hi: two fine shots to the six- Ir-L'ti'Ji. approached lo within l'uur yards of Imle. and holed the putt for a birdie t'ulir tinti the malch.

A. Perry, the Open champion, had a nar-rtnv escape from defeat by Forrester, the Ki-uttish champion. Perry appeared safe for viriory when, after a great Mart, he turned I'iree up. but orresler lougnt oacK extremely weil. and ihe malch was square with three lo play.

L. 1 King, the brilliant Knole Park assistant, but he proved the truth of the old saying that "Twn up and five to play never won a match." and although two up at the thirteenth, was beaten on the home green. Bnilantvne was also robbed of a certain vie- tory for Scotland by a brilliant display by W. Branch, a ynuiiit Bristol assistant. Branch was three down at the ninth, but ramc home in the remarkable score of .1::.

BUDGE DEFEATS JONES. (By Our Own Correspondent.) Only twice in the last nine years has the men's singles champkmship of London been won by any but an American. Our visitors from the States use this meeting to tune themselves up for Wimbledon, sure of meeting at Queen's Club players of several other nationalities all Intent on the same object. Often enough both the finalists have- been Americans, and this year is no exception, for Budge and D. N.

Jones, two of the lustiest hitlers in the game, came through a strong field to contest the final. D. Jones, although American, has spent much of his time in England for the last few years; he captained Cambridge, and reached the final at Queen's last year, dividing with Wilmer Allison after week of bad weather. But the m'eetmg has been luckier onthis occasion. Yesterday, fortunately, a very light breeze tempered a grilling sun, but most of the men spectators sat without coat waistcoat round the court.

The stands were very full when Jones and Budge came out, punctually, to provide excellent fare for the onlooker's. Play went evenly, with the service, up to 4 alt. but Budge was in peril of losing his service in the next game. He saved himself, though; and with Jones helping him with a double fault to take him to set-point, went out at the third attempt. Jones seemed a little depressed at losing set in which there had really been nothing between them, and.

Budge went to 3 love and 41 quick'y in the second, playing both his fore- and back-hand drives with tremendous speed. Jones won the next game with three magnificent service aces two of them with his second service, and he repeated this feat in the eighth game, but Budge was always coolly ahead, and went but at 6 3, finishing the match with a service ace him self. He scored in all nine service aces and made only one double fault: Jones scored no 'fewer than 22 service aces, but made eight doubles. The second set was not nearly so good as the first. THE WOMEN'S SINGLES.

Next came Miss Noel v. Mile. Jedrze iowska Miss Noel had played very well indeed all through the week, but she was never any real match for the most im- roved girl in Europe yesterday. The Pole it with refreshing freedom and very great pace, and kept on doing so from start to nnisn, desiaes occasionally scoring a service ace. which Jones himself would no' have despised.

Miss Noel never gave up trying, or course, but her opponent was just too strong to make more subtle generalship of much avail. Mile. Jedrze jowska drove Miss Noel from corner to corner, always trying, but generally failing to cover the ground fast enough lo reach the finishing shot. The Ilrst set naa an exciting ending, in which' Miss Noel heroically saved four set-Doints Deiore losing it. The play was not so good in the second set.

for Miss Noel seemed to be tiring under the hot sun. She made her last rally when she was 5 2 down, coming up to the net and volleying with such success that sne got two more games Deiore ine end came An All-American doubles between the too natidnal toairs was a great attrac- tion: for there is still keen rivalry when Allison and Van Ryn encounter Ihe junior pair. Budge and Mako. Yesterday it was Ihe turn of the juniors to win; though, oddly enough, the other two seemed to be playing the better, especially in the return of the service, so important a feature in doubles. The match was played at top speed, and some of the volleying and smashing was worth going a long way to see.

The younger pair broke through on Van Ryn's service in the eighth game, and went out on Budge's in the ninth. When, in the second set. they broke Mhrouch again on Allisons service, the end seemed at nana, rsuage prpmpuy iusi nis. own service to lovei dui it rnaae no difference: Allison's was again lost, and Mako. who had rather played a minor part up to then, pul in two or three astonishingly fine shots just at the right moment to give his side the victory in the tenth gamo.

THE LUCK OF (By Our Lawn Tennis Before to-morrow night, if the weather is favourable, exactly half the players in the men's singles championships will have no further personal in terest in that particular event, which.

after all, is to a greater extent the raison d'etre of Wimbledon than any of the four others. It was the first to open the long series of championships, in 1877: the men's doubles did not start till two years later, and it was only in 1B84 that the ladies singles champion ship was instituted. The ladies' doubles and mixed doubles are quite modern affairs, not played as Wimbledon championships till 1913, though they had long been (and still are) in existence as All England championships at the Buxton and Northern meetings respectively. First and foremost in the estimation of players all over the world, then, is the men's singles championship. The draw for this event 'as for all the others) was made last Wednesday, the "seeding" being, in order, F.

J. Perry, G. von Cramm, A. K. Quist, W.

Allison. D. Budge, J. Crawford, H. W.

Austin, and B. M. Grant three Americans, two Englishmen, two Australians, and one German. It is, I think, some years since no Frenchman was seeded, but on current form it is scarcely surprising that none was found worthy. One of their band of young players may perhaps prove that the selectors were mistaken in their estimate.

It will be noticed that the first four men seeded are the reigning champions, respectively, of England, France, Aus tralia, and the U.S.A. a seeding which may have been partly in the nature of a compromise and a compliment, but is, at any rate, in strict accordance with national rankings. Each of these eight seeded players is in a section of the draw comprising sixteen players: it will be interesting to examine their positions and likely opponents, and speculate on their chances of reaching the Last Eight the place appointed for them by the seeding committee. PERRY'S TASK. First comes Perry, at the top of the draw.

His first match, on the Centre Court to-morrow, is against G. D. Stratford, an American player, better known in the States as a successful doubles player in the West than as a singles exponent. If. Perry gets through the first two rounds, as he undoubtedly should, his next opponent will probably be either J.

van Ryn (U.S.A.) or H. Timmer (Netherlands). Successful over the better of. these two, he must defeat either C. E.

Malfroy or R. K. Tinkler. If Perry regains the confidence he had last year, his place in the last eight is secure; and if he gets through the four rounds to bring him there he will probably be playing so strongly that the remaining three rounds of them bound to be hard fights win not stop mm. Next there is B.

M. Grant section. This newcomer from the States arrives with a great reputation. He has a stiff fence to get over tr-morrow, as he meets H. Henkel, about the most improved European player, in the first round.

The winner of this match will probably have to meet V. B. McGrath before reaching the last eight, for the young Australian seems to have an easy draw for his first three rounds. IE Quist. heading the third section, can dispose of Lyttelton Rogers or EUmer in the second round, as he should do.

he may be troubled at the gateway to the quarter-finals by N. Sharpe, if the courts are hard and dry. Sharpe is plavina very well. at present, and has slain at least one giant at Wimbledon before now. The last section of Ihe top half is Budge's, and though it contains I.

G. Collins, J. Brugnon; J. Lesueur, and G. P.

Hughes, 1 doubt i any of these, with the possible exception of Hughes, will be able to stop the career of the modern McLoughlin. TOJJGH NUTS TO CRACK. II V. Austin lias a fairly quiet section: C. R.

D. Tuckey, B. Destremau (France's latest and J. S. Olliff or E.

D. Andrews seem the best of his opponents in the earlier rounds: but Wilmer Allison, who is seldom anywhere near his best so early in the summer, may find his fellow-countryman D. N. Jones, or. later, E.

C. Peters, tough nuts to crack. Crawford's section is rather a hot one; he meets D. Prenn in the first round, and others in his sixteen are A. C.

Stedman, H. G. N. Lee, and C. Hare.

Still, even though he may not have regained the form which made hirr- champion three years back, he ought to reach the last eight all right. Finally, von Cramm has no easy path that stage: almost at once he has to encounter L. Hecht, then probably either C. Boussus or G. Mako, and, before he can get through, E.

Maier, if the Spanish chnmpion is in anything like his best form. It may be remembered that Maier beat the German champion in a Davis Cup tie a month or two ago a second encounter between the two would be a very interesting affair Miss Round and Miss H. Jacobs very worthily head the seeding in the women's singles, followed by Mrs. Fabyan, Miss Stammers, Mme. Sperling, Mme.

Mathieu. Mile Jedrzejowska and Senorita A. Lizana in that older. Miss Jacobs has come out ot the top of the draw, and in her section Miss Lyle and the Countess de la Valdene, better known as Senorita L. de Alvarez, are the most notable names.

Senorita Lizana should not be pressed very hard in her section, though sh will have to overcome Miss Heeley or Miss Dickin. Miss Stammers's progress to the last eight is none loo easy; she will have to beat either Mme. de Meulemeester or Miss Yorke. and, later, Miss Scriven or Miss James, to get there: but, unless she happens lo hit a bad day early, she ought to arrive. Mile.

Jedrzejowska has to dispose of Mrs. King. and. later, probably of Miss Noel, to reach her appointed place: these are two stiff fences. Mme.

and a fine cross-shot by Mr. Balding, following a clever run by Mr. Tyrrell-Martin, was only just wide of the mark. The hii-ou: was met by Captain Guinness, who passed back to Mr. Hughes, and a great cheer announced that England had taken the lead.

Mr. Guest, who played macni- I ficently throughout, had a long drive weli 1 cleared by Captain Guinness, and England were given a free hit from sixty yards for a foul against Mr. Iglehart. However, Mr. Balding's shot hit Mr.

Guest's pony right in ie goal-mouth, and the ball was scrambled away. A long hit up by Mr. Iglehart found I r. Pediey unmarked a moment later, and he promptly availed himself of the oppoi- tunny of equalising, while Mr. Phipps sSipped away from the throw-in.

and from his pass Mr. Iglehart had a simple chance of putting America ahead, which he took. England were unlucky not to draw level when a grand shot by Mr. Tyrrell-Martin 1 hit a goal-post and was cleared by Air. Guest just before the first bell.

Play in the second chukKer was inclined to be scrappy. Mr. Guest put America I further in front aTter a run by Mr. Pediey, I and a moment later Mr. Ty rreil-Martin saved a certain goal from another line drive by Mr.

Guest. When England tooK up the attack Mr. Hughes and Mr. Bald-j ir.g shot wide in turn, and at the other end Mr. Pediey missed when well-placed from a centre by Mr.

Phipps. The game continued to be evenly contested in the third period, but America always looked the mnre dangerous side when going fur goal, largely on account of a superiority in pony power. Mr. Iglehart went close on two occasions, and. after Mr.

Hughes had been stopped by Mr. Guest, a fine shot by Mr. Tvrreil-M art in missed bv inches. Mr. Phipps next put in a good run.
