The return race took place in the afternoon and although Ingomar the best start, she was down leeward and Rover up to wind secured the best position. She led the others to the new cut at Pheasant Point and four out of the six braved the possibility of going ashore here. Ingomar comi through Rover's wind, and claiming "water" went into the lead which she never relinquished and Rover held second place with Spook and Mignon coming up well. On the Astr channel, the wind increased to a fa: breeze and the rain caused crews to don oilskins. The wind had changed direction to almost easterly, and it was a long reach close hauled up th" channel, Ingomar holding her long lead when reaching Kiaojao, Rover being second and Mignon dispiacins Spook of third place for the time being. At Kiaojao the rain alma: ceased and the wind dropped to bu a mere breeze with the result that Ingomar could make no further im-Pression on Rover and actually lost seme of the advantage she had made earlier. Spook came up to pas Mignon and held third place, the others following in. a procession. Times for the second half of the Donald Budge, the American ace, is a raging favourite to retain his title. He is at. present unpackable at odds of 5-1 on.
H. W. Austin, the British number one, who displayed great. form in defeating Kho Sin-kie in the final of the London championship, is second favourite—a 6-1 chance—while Roderick Mi el, the Czech champion. is a 1-1 bet.
Keen competition is expected in the women's section between Mrs. Helen Wills Moody, who is making a bid for her eighth Wimbledon singles title, and Miss Alice Marble, but many will be supporting last year's finalist, Mile. Jedzrejowska, of Poland.
The odds on these three players are: 5-2 against Mrs, Moody; 3-1 against Miss Marble; 5-1 against Mile, Jedzrejowska.
l Mrs. Moody succeeds in capturing the title again, she will have established an all-time new recording winning the title eight times. CAt present she is tied with Mile, Suzanne Lenglen with' seven victories each.—Reuter.
