TRIUMPHS OF MRS. MOODY

SENSATIONAL ROUT OF MISS SCRIVEN

Great Match Career MISS PALFREY'S TWO WINS

Ended.

WHO WILL BE THE NEW CHAMPION?

(By A. WALLIS MYERS)

It is understood that Mrs. Moody has definitely advised the United Stater Lawn Tennis Association that she does not intend to take any part in competitive lawn ten- nis this year. Contrary to report, she has not even been practising in California.

If, as is probable, Mrs. Moody has played her last match at Wim- bledon, she is closing her cham- pionship career at the compara- tively early age of twenty-nine. She has won the singles' title six times thrice as Miss Helen Wille and thrice under her married

name.

PAVE WAY TO VICTORY

BETTY NUTHALL'S TRIUMPH

FOR the eighth time in the series of twelve encounters Ameri- ca beat Great Britain for custody of the Wightman Cup lawn tennis trophy, winning by 5 matches to 2, after commencing the day with a 2 to 1 lead, at Wimbledon on Saturday.

The sensation of the encounter was the magnificent play of Sarah Palfrey, better known as a doubles player. Losing the first set to Margaret Scriven, she levelled the match in the second. · owing to the British girl's over confidence. In the final set Miss Scriven was match point at 5-1, but lost the vital set and match 21,8-6:
