LONDON, July 3.-Doris Hart OF
Miami, Fla, upset Louise Brough Of
Beverly Hills, Calf, 2-6, 8-6, 6t4,
in the semifnals of the Wimbledon
tennis championships today and
will meet Margaret Osborne Of San
Francisco for the women's singles
title Saturday.
Miss Osborne, top-seeded favorite
to take the title vacated by Pauline
Betz when the latter turned profess
sional, advanced to the final short
time earlier by routing Mrs. Sheila
Summers of South Africa. 6-1, 60.
Today's victories turned the sin
giles portion of the tournament into
an all-American show. Jack Kramer
of Los Angeles is slated to meet Tom
Brown of San Francisco in the mems
final tomorrow.
The sturdy Miss Osborne, ia
vorite to win the women's crown,
required only 81 minutes to oust the
South African. It was over so
quickly, in fact, that one-third Of
the reserved seats in the stands,
holding $4,000, still were empty at
the end.
Miss Hart, seeded third behind
Miss Osborne and Miss Brough, had
the backing of the galleries as she
came from behind to score the
upset. Both appeared to have had
enough as they went into the third
set, but Miss Brough looked more
tired than Miss Hart.
Miss Hart took q 4-3 lead as Miss
Brough double-faulted to lose the
seventh game and the eighth was
the vital game Of the match. It
went to deuce four times before
Miss Hart volleyed her way to a
So advantage. Miss Brough held
her service in the next game, but
she couldn't get her racket near
Miss Harris passing shots in the
10th.
Kramer and Brown get no rest for
their singles final duel tomorrow as
they are scheduled for action in

Mile Fame Is Seen for Joyce,
Boston SchooIboy Champion

But Ryder, who appears uncanny
when it comes to milers, was i'm
pressed by his powerful finishing
drive, the chief requisite of good
mile runner.
Lacks Sense Of Pace.
A few days ago, under Ryder's
exacting directions, Joyce had his
final 800-meter tuneup. He was in
structed to run fast three-quar-
ters which he did in the fair time
of $40.
Carl was terrific over the half
mile, but he appeared a bit be-
wildered running his last quarter" j"
Ryder said. THAT was due to his
lack of experience over the longer
distance. Once he gains a sense of
pace, he'll become a terrific miller"
Down through the years, most of
the great milers were outstanding
in their speciality as schoolboyS.
When Gil Dodds, who became the
Nations best under Ryder, was COM
peting in the secondary school ranks
in Nebraska, his best was a 4:28.1.
The fastest mile Glenn Cunning
ham ever ran for Elkhart (Kans.)
High was 4:24.7 back in 1880. Wayne
Rideout first indicated his future
greatness by doing 1882 in a
schoolboy meet in Tuscola, ILL.,, in
1888. And how interscholastic track
circles buzzed with excitement when

On the Eastern seaboard, the
4:23.3 and 4:26.3 miles run by Les
MacMitchell and Frank Dixon as
New York City schoolboys in 1898
and 1941 were considered startling
until Joyce came up with his fresh
4::20.
Due to a speech impediment,
Joyce's schooling was delayed for
two years. At 10, he is over the
Massachusetts, schoolboy age limit,
despite the fact he only is sopho-
more. But he will break down that
competitive barrier by enrolling in
a preparatory school next fall.
Just at present, his college plans
are indefinite.
