DOLLAR, THE San Francisco steamship line heir, said that he would make a bid for the mark, however. His unofficial time Friday was better than the Gold Cup class record of 119, set by Harold Wilson at Picton, last year. Henry Kaiser's Aluminum I and Hot Metal arrived at the River, but after short runs, it was undecided whether they would try for Wood's record. Earlier attempts for the record at Lake Placid were spoiled by motor trouble and rough water. Horace E.

Dodge, who once had five boats entered for the Gold Cup, will not send Delphine into Saturday's speed trials.

(Dutch) Harrison cooled a bit but managed to maintain a three-stroke lead at the three-quarters LONDON VP) Gertrude (Gorgeous Gussie) Moran, of Santa Monica, the darling of the Wimbledon tennis championships, bowed out of the Women's singles event Friday the first week's greatest upset.

Her red-ribboned pigtails bobbing, fourth-seeded Miss Moran went down to Gem Hoahing, a tiny Chinese ballet dancer from Hong Kong, 6-2, 5-7, 6-3, in the third round. GUSSIE LOST through a host of errors netted volleys and untamed drives. She was fidgety, too hasty, and never settled down to her attacking game that could have won the match. It wasn't that she lacked chances. She led, 2 to 0, in the first set and 3 to 1 in the second which she pulled out in her favor by one brief touch of class and accuracy in the forecourt.

Little Gem, well under five feet tall and too short to play the net, never left the baseline. But there she swung back Gussie's attack with the dependability of a grandfather clock. IN HER PLAY there was subtle strategy, for she was always changing the direction of her drives. CJussie smiled bravely as she i walked out of the famous center court, cheered by 14,000 fans. But she left some sad faces among the newsmen and fans, who have found her the greatest personality since Suzanne Len-glen, of France, 25 years ago.

She will be missed from the singles. With her beauty and lace-trimmed panties, she brought a spice to Wimbledon that had been lacking in the postwar years of dominance by other American women, who just came and conquered with routine peffection. BEHIND THE SCENES, the Wimbledon championship committee expressed concern at British press treatment of Bob Falken-burg, of Beverly Hills, the defending men's singles champion. Some of the newsmen have bounced Bob because he withdrew from mixed doubles and refused interviews. Fearing that Americans might take offense, a senior Wimbledon official asked newsmen to let the cnamp get on wun nis task in his own sweet way.

Falkenburg appeared once. He and Jaroslav Drobny, of Czechoslovakia, eliminated Pierre Geel-hand and Jacques Peten, of Belgium, 6-4, 6-4. 6-4, in the second round of men's doubles. THE TOP SEEDED doubles team, Ted Schroeder, of La Cres-centa, and Gardnar Mulloy, of Miami, played two matches and won both in straight sets, ad vancing to the quarterfinals. They ousted Britishers A.

L. Delia Porta and H. Watkins 6-1, 6-0, 6-4, in the second round, they turned thtir hot rackets on M. Matous, of Czechoslovakia, and Franjo Puncec, of Yugoslavia, for a 6-1, 6-4, 6-1, triumph in the third round. Pancho Gonzales and Frankie Parker, both of Los Angeles, gained the third round by downing Drago Mitic and Josip Palada, the Yugoslav Davis Cup team which is in the European Zone semifinals, 8-6, 6-2, 6-3.
