England's quest to wrest the Wightman Cup from America begins to-day at Wimbledom, and will be continued to-morrow. Both countries are strongly represented in this the world's premier Miss women's international tennis content, with the odds slightly in favour of England both in view of the fact that the encounter is at Wimbledon and that. America is without the services of Mrs. Helen Willa-Moody.

The English selectors have made two very bold moves. They have included Miss Nancy Lyle and Mias E. M. Dearman, neither of whom have played before in Wightman Cup contests, to the exclusion of such experienced players na Miss Kathleen Stammers and Miss Mary Heeley, while they have introduced Mrs. L. A, Godfree, whose star was generally thought to have set three years ago.

Mrs. Godfrea has been brought in to strengthen the doubles. She is playing remarkably fine doubles this season judging by homeside reports, and all the critics agreed that in the trials she was the out- standing player,

The latter, who played against to South China, had only time finish six sets, but as the Graduates won, this
