" " the greatest personal tri-
umph in Wimbledon's long
history today, when, with some lively
assistance from his fellow California
ans, Gene Mako and Alice Marble, he
added the mems doubles and mixed
doubles championships to the singles
crown he won yesterday.
The Oakland. Calf. red-head's
dominance of the closing days play

Teamed with Mako. the new king
of tennis smashed England's Davis
Cup pair, George Patrick Hughes and
Clifford Raymond Dayys Tuckey,
completely out of shape to win the
mems doubles crown at 60, 6-.

the mixed doubles championship.
Don Needs Little Help.
RUDGE scaled heights of brilliance
rarely seen on the doubles court
as he and Mako won the first set of
their match against Tuckey and
Hughes at love and with the loss OF
only seven points.
Bulge needed hardly any assistance
from Mako. 1t was the same story
in the fourth set. when his smoking

Women's Final Is Tame.
A THOUGH their match proved
close enough-when the score was
tied at "A in the third set they each
had scored exactly the same number Of

iowska somehow failed to supply the
brand of tennis one associates with
Wimbledon finals
Miss Round. returning to the throne
she occupied in 1884, played some fms
tennis in the first set and the hard
hitting Polish girl with the terrific
forehand drive enjoyed one burst of
brilliance in the second set, but they
never seemed to get together with it.
The loser hit a grand total OF 47
points out Of the court The winner
scored only l3 placements in all. That.
perhaps, gives fair picture of the
play.
Disappointed in her play, Miss
