Who Won
> German exile Baron Gottfried von Cramm: the London Grass Courts tennis championship, No. 1 tune-up for this week's All-England tournament at Wimbledon (in which he is not entered); defeating Ghaus Mohammed of India in the final, 6-1, 6-3; for his first major tennis victory since he was imprisoned by the Nazis for moral turpitude over a year ago. In the semifinals, the onetime German Davis Cupper, now living in Sweden, trounced Bobby Riggs, No. 1 U. S. amateur, 6-0, 6-1. Said Donald Budge, who was among the spectators: "I think Germany made a mistake in dropping that fellow."
> Harvard's varsity crew: the 77th Harvard-Yale boat race, oldest (1852) intercollegiate sporting event in the U. S.; for the fourth year in a row; by 1 1/4 lengths; over a four-mile course; on the Thames at New London. This week the victorious oarsmen sail for England to compete in the Royal Henley Regatta on London's Thames.
