U.S. LADIES' TITLE SCORES OF 8-6, 3-6, 3-0 IN HOLDER'S FAVOUR

TWO ANGRY DEMONSTRATIONS BY CROWD OF 3,000

NOR the first time since 1927 when she first won the Wimbledon title Helen Wills-Moody, probably the greatest lady tennis player in the world, has failed to win a major singles title,

On Saturday she was led 8-6, 3-6, 3-0 by Helen Jacobs, the holder, in the Final Round of the American National Women's Lawn Tennis Championships when she was forced to leave the court on account of an injury to her right leg. Helen Jacobs, ranking No. 2 player in America, and conqueror of Dorothy Round, the British champion, thus retained the title she won last year in the absence of Helen Wilks-Moody.

The injury to the famous champion was responsible for Belty Nuthall and Freda James winning the doubles title on a walk over. Mrs. Moody was partnered by Elizabeth Ryan and had beaten Dorothy Round and Mary Heeley, another British combination, in the Semi Final.

Betty won the title last year in partnership with Mrs. Fearnley, Whittingstall (nee Eilleen Bennett.)

Helen Jacobs played beautiful! tennis in the first set when she bewildered "Poker completely Face" Helen with splendid place- ments to lead 3-2.

Mrs. Moody then steadied up her play and levelled at 4-all but after

Miss Jacobs, however, played determined ten- nis when she saw her early advant- age in jeopardy, and 3-all was call- ed before Mrs. Moody went out at 16-3.

During the seventh game a Moody partisan called out. There was then a great roar from the crowd of 3,000, but the linesman agreed with the
