"HOW BETTY WAS
DEFEATED.
AN AMERICAN REPORT.
net
The following in the associated Pross account of the Helen Wills v. Betty Nuthall match:-
Foresthills, S. Y., Aug. 30, Holen Wills, the American star, today regained the national women's ténnís championship, which she was forced to give up last year because of illness.
She re-won title by defeating Betty Nuthall, the brilliant 16- year-old British girl, in a match which the fans conceded to Miss Wills even before it started. The score was 6-1, 6-4.
Miss Wills has now won the na- tional women's championship four times in the last five years. Ex- cellent form shown earlier this year caused the experts to predict before the tournament started that she would regain the crown. The doubles championship was captured by Mrs. Kitty McKane- Godfrey and Miss E. B. Harvey, of England, who defeated their country-women, Berty Nuthall and Joan Frye in what turned out to be all-British final. The was 6-1, 4-6, 6-4,
score
In vanquishing the 16-year old English girl, Miss Wills added a great victory to an already un- broken series of triumphs at home. and abroad this year. Helen over- powered Miss Nuthall décisively but not before. "Beaming Betty" thrilled 8,000 spectators with a placky rally in the second set.
Miss Nuthall fought an uphill fight against heavy odds in the sec- ond set but her rally prevented the match from being a complete rout. It was evident from the start that Helen had too much punch in her strokes for Betty to handle, but spurred on by cheers from the crowd whose sympathies were with her despite their desire to see an American triumph, she never quit trying.
Lack of control was the real factor that cost Betty the match, while the victory after her triumphs at Wimbledom places Helen at the top of women's tennis for the year.
