The ill feeling between them was born in high school, nurtured in college, and blossomed into full bloom on the tennis courts of the world. Their meeting for the richest of all tennis prizes tomorrow reads like a page torn from the notebook of the maddest Hollywood scenarist. Two weeks ago both of the Helens apparently were head-. ed towards the wings, their days ' under the international tennis spot-. light at an end. Mrs. Moody came j to the start of Wimbledon bearing scars of defeat at the hands of; Hilda Sperling and Mary Hard-1 wick, players she could have beaten without adjusting her eye-shade when she was young. The chances of Miss Jacobs reaching the final were even more remote. Plagued by poor health, she collapsed in the dressing room before her first round match and was forced to request a postponement for the first time in her career. But both rose above adversity and came through, and with their arrival in the final round memories of their last meeting came flooding back.

PIRATES TAKE SECOND PLACE IN NATIONAL' Pittsburgh Beats Cincinnati To Move Into Second Place New York. July I(U.R)—In case ’ you've overlooked the Pittsburgh Pirates, it's high time to give them your attention. Under the patient' leadership of docile Pie Traynor the | Pirates have climbed steadily the | past month and today moved into : i second place in the National league I I standing. j On the morning of June 1 the ■ Pirates were in fifth place with a i record of 17 won and 18 lost for a I i percentage of .486. It looked like another year of frustration and dis- j appointment. But Traynor's tireless I never-say-die spirit finally git them straightened away and June proved a highly successful month. Another month like June and you can tab the Pirate as real pennant contenders for the first time in years. They won 16 games and ioet seven, most of them on the road. Who can remember when the Pirates swept through the east with nine the youngest ball boy and the oldest critic will tell you that no pair of antagonists ever produced a match to equal the one between the Helens tn 1935. It was one of the few genuine grudge tennis matches ever played. Miss Jacobs was playing to prove to the world that her victory over Mrs. Moody in the final round at orest Hills in 19'33 was deserved. Mrs. Moody was equally determined to show that the only way her rival could ever beat her was by default. For nearly two hours, under a sun as hot as ever shone in California. the two girls played it out. Attacking savagely Mrs. Moody won the first set 6-3, but she had to bring out all the shots at her command to do it. so superby did Miss Jacobs defend. Superbly confident, Mrs. Moody increased the tempo of her thrusts but they were futile in the face of Miss Jacobs' inspired play. Miss Jacobs splattered the base and sidelines with rifle forehand and backhands. She beat her foe from the net with passing shots that ceased the wings. She did everything. to take the second set 6-3. The third and deciding set was a heart-stopper. Miss Jacobs, inspired by the opportunity to avenge all the defeats she had suffered from Mrs. Moody, fought her way to a 5-3 lead and match point lit the ninth game. And then —with her own everest summit | just a step away—she hit an easy | lob into the bottom of the net. |i Disheartened, she slumped a bit. Reprieved, Mrs. Moody put on more pressure and went on to win. ’ Now’ they are to meet again. And by midnight tonight thousands will already have begun the long vigil at Wimbledon’s gates. | (Copyright 1938 by UP.)

victories in 13 games? Who can re- 1 member when the Pirates moved into the polo grounds and won a ser-; make the student of baseoall con-, ies from the Giants? Those factors sider the Pirates as a team of possibilities. I They knocked the Giants off twice in a three game series They ' have already won five games from I the Giants this season in comparison to six all last year. Yesterday Pittsburgh triumphed; over Cincinnati. 3-1, to dislodge the i ' Reds from second place. Cy Blan-' ton, curve ball expert, hurled his greatest game of the year, allowing only three hits. Gus Suhr, Pirates’ ! new cleanup man. hit a double and ■ triple to lead the attack. The Giants held their four-game ; | lead by slugging the Phillies for a 114-1 victory. Hank Leiber banged | out a homer, two doubles and a single. Slick Castleman allowed on- 1 ■ ly seven hits to win his third game. I Van Mungo came out of his slump I to pitch a one hit game as Brooklyn ; defeated the Boston ißees, 5 0. Rab- ! bit Warstler’s double was the only J hit off Mungo’s fancy pitching. He walked eight but fanned six. Cleveland held its three-game 1 lead over the Yankees by defeating j Detroit, 10-9. Johnny Aller, scored his 11th victory in a relief role, personally driving in the winning run with a single in the ninth after the with four runs in the eighth. Bob I Tigers had rallied to tie the score | Feller was driven from the mound i by the Tigers after fanning nine'

and walking seven. The Yanks won their third straight from the Athletics as Red Ruffing turned in a four-hit pitching performance. Joe Dimaggio hit homer no. 11 with two on in th? first inning. In the other two American league games the Boston Red Sox won from Washington, 11-1, behind Jim Bagby’s six-hit pitching and the Chicago White Sox triumphed over the St. Louis Browns, 11-1, behind J.iak Knott’s four-hit pitching.

BUDGE OEFEAIS BUNNY AUSTIN Don Budge Swamps Austin To Win Second Wimbledon Tourney Wimbledon, Eng . July I—(U.P.)1 —(U.P.) J. Donald Budge of Oakland, Cal . the worlds No. 1 tennis player, won the all England singles title for the second consecutive time today, defeating 32-year-old Henry I Wilfred (Bunny) Austin of Eng-1 land. 6-1. 6-0, 6-3, in a one-sided ; final match. Before a crowd of 20.000, includ- • ing Queen Mary and the Duke and I Duchess of Kent, Budge gave Aus-' tin one of the most severe lacings i ever seen in a Wimbledon final. By winning in straight sets today, i the gangling California red-head 1 went through the entire tournament ; without losing a set —the first time . any man had performed this feat. I Austin never had a chance in the i last major match of his brilliant , career. He said he is going to i retire now and quit big-time tennis, i Budge, ruler of every major court ' in the world, was the first American since "Big Bill" Tilden to win two in a row at Wimbledon. Tilden scored a “double” in 1920-21. Austin was virtually swept from I the courts in the opening two sets.

i Then in t..e third, with the score j I 3-2 in his favor. Budge slowed down j I slightly as it began to rain. Budge , was leading 4-3 when the match I t j was delayed almost half an hour. I „; When they resumed play, Budge ' ■ again stepped up the attack and . I scored the most one-sided victory ’ i in all his matches in the tourna--11 ment. 11 ; The least number of games he ’’ had lost in six matches prior to tor | day was seven. And during the i i entire scries he lost only 48. Austin, who never has won his | own country's title even though i, | this was his second Wimbledon o; final, was so pitiful at times that e! even British fans in the stands i- 1 groaned at his attempts to make a | match of it. | Budge, on the other hand, was never so superb at Wimbledon. There wasn't a player in the world l today who could have stood up 1 ■ against him. His service was like ' . * a cannon-ball and time and again' '■ all Austin could do was stand on I the baseline and watch it rocket I past. Don's backhand was sharp J ']and his placements kicked up the e ! chalk. It was Budge's fourth straight ! Wimbledon title. Last year la ' e addition to capturing the singles.; e . he was on winning doubles and r ’! mixed doubles teams. He and Gene Mako of Los Ange. ,s | les are in the finals of the men's •- ; doubles and will defend that title 1- j tomorrow. And, with Alice Marble >f j of San Francisco, he is in the semir-' finals of the mixed doubles. He >r ' is favored to make another sweep e- this year and round out a record ' >r j that probably will stand for years. ‘ )f After the match, Budge was I called to the royal box. He shook hands with Queen Mary and the j Duke and Duchess of Kent. They ■ all congratulated him. | Budge appeared slightly nervous,'
