1t marked the 14th straight
time the title had gone to an
American woman since 1887

First Visit by Queen
The Queens visit to Wimble-
don was her first since she be-
came monarch. She wore a rose
and white printed silk dress and
straw hat.
Miss Gibson. who learned her
tennis with crude paddles on the
/ sidewalks of New York, raced
to 40 lead before the 21-year-
old Miss Hard could get into the
fight.
The Monticello girl broke

There was a good-natured tit

The Queen smiled. Both the
players gave a curtsy and went
forward to shake the Queens
hand. She talked with each a
few minutes. AS the girls left.
Miss Hard gave a little skipping
jump for joy.
/ Miss Gibson succeeds Shirley
Fry, who since the last Wimole-

Australia.
/ Miss Gibson picked up the
first two games of the second
set-breaking Miss Hard on the
opener-but the California girl
won the third easily when Miss
Gibson twice returned into the
net. sent half volley trickling
along the ground. then dished
up a gentle little lob over the
net that the grinning Miss Hard
put away.
The next three games went to
Miss Gibson due mainly to Miss
Hard's lack of touch from the
baseline. The chubby little CAL
ifornian, looking strangely sub
dued. fought hard for the sixth
game when she pulled up from
30-40 to get the advantage.
But then she put Miss Glib
sons service smack into the net
and couldn't reach a tremendous
Gibson volley. Darlene held the
next to make it So, but went
completely to pieces and dropped
the final game without taking a
point.

The Californian said she had

Martinez Shows
Little Of Old Fire
In Loss 10 Moore
BY GEORGE HUBER

Six months IN the United
States of America hasn't done
Isidro Martinez bit of good.
Back in January and fresh off
a plane from his native Panama,
he upset Ike Chestnut here and

He had lots of flash and fire
and color then, but not much of

field, Ohio, Davey Moore. beat
him at Capitol Arena.
Camera Tells Story
The same television cameras
that showed Martinez as an
overnight sensation when he
made his brilliant United States
debut in January were on hand
again last night to show how
much he's slipped. Also about
500 cash customers on a hot
night at the arena.
Moore is a steady, dependable
fighter. without much waste mo-
ton, and against the dancing
Martinez he just plugged away
and piled up points by hitting
Martinez whenever he got close
enough. The latter waited I'M
til about the fifth round before
he did anything except dance
and jab, but then he suddenly
got going with the frey style
that attracted so much praise
six months ago.
Brilliant Display
He's switch hitter. and in
the sixth he was so brilliant with
a display of punching with both
hands from every angle that
Moore actually didn't seem to
know which end was up or where
he was or what was happening
1t was like a Fourth of July
fireworks display a day late, and
this was the "old" Martinez from
January, and about time.
1t lasted until midway through
the seventh when Martinez, still
bouncing around and giving the
customers their moneys worth.
suddenly ran into a very pretty
short right. He got up at seven,
dizzy. and lasted out the fight.
Referee Eddie LaFond and the
two judges voted for Moore by
comfortable margins.
Sonny Boy Scores
In the six-round semifeature,
Lightweight Sonny Boy williams
of Washington beat Johnny
Melendez. Martinez stablemate.
In scheduled four-rounders,
Middleweights Jim Chavis and
Ray Butler fought a good draw.
Middleweight Hank Jones stopped
Johnny Charlestown in 1:34 of
the third round and Lightweight
Tommy Roberts stopped Jim
Biggs, in l;57 of the first. Heavy
weight Jimmy Thompson won a
decision over Gene Mann.

BALTIMORE. July 6 (Spe-
ciaD .--Adios Harry's dust has
settled at Baltimore Raceway,
which gets back to normal
tonight with an attractive nine
race program and no pulse
throbbing records in prospect.

1t may be said with no danger
of argument that regardless Of
which of the able steeds going
off tonight steals the thunder,
none will get full spotlight. A
portion of it still will rest on
Adios Harry, whose record
breaking 1895 mile last night
assures him of frequent mention
whenever the finer PAGERS con-
gregate.
In Trouble at Laurel
Today horsemen are wagging
their heads in regret that the
6-year-old with the power
packed limbs ran into trouble in
the second leg of Maryland
triple pacing crown at Laurel
Raceway. Adios Harry won the
first feg at Rosecroft, but broke
at the start on a muddy Laurel
track. leaving the way open for
victory by Belle Acton. Last
night the handsome. brown ami

$4,000 leg in record time for
Maryland harness racing. The
former mark was 2 minutes fiat
by Hi-Lo's Forbes in 1853 at
Laurel.
The time Of 2 minutes for the
mile on a half-mile track in pac-
ing is similar to the 4-minute
