Who Won

P: Pigeon-toed Strongwoman Jadwiga Jedrzejowska, Poland's No. 1 woman tennist: the singles championship of the Maidstone Invitation Tournament, second major preliminary to next month's national championships, in her second week of competition on U. S. courts; defeating Sarah Palfrey Fabyan, U. S. No. 3, in the final, 6-2, 6-3; at East Hampton, L. I.

P: Mrs. C. S. Howard's four-year-old Seabiscuit, 1937 handicap champion, ridden by Jockey Johnny Pollard: the $70,000 Massachusetts Handicap, richest horse race of the summer; setting a new track record (1 min. 49 sec.) for a mile and an eighth and boosting his season's winnings to $142,000; at Suffolk Downs, Boston.

P: Robert Riggs, 19-year-old Californian: the 47th annual Meadow Club tennis tournament ; by default, when his final-round opponent, Japanese Champion Jiro Yamagishi, quit because of a strained shoulder; at Southampton, L. I. For Riggs it was the third match he had won by default in eight days, having so defeated onetime Wimbledon Champion Sidney Wood in the quarter-finals two days before and onetime U. S. Champion Wilmer Allison in the final of the Seabright tournament week before.
