Wimbledon, England. June 1G tP' the American Wightman Cup 1"nA A team went into the second days matches today determined to make a last-ditch stand against the Brit ish women players to keep the trophy they won last year. The Americans had to win three of to- days four matches to retain the cup. Helen Wills. the American acc, was expected to defeat Eileen Ben nett, although not as easily as she won from Mrs. NJ. Holcroft Watson 1 to score the only American victory yesterday. Miss Wills lost only three games in her first match. American star, had as an opponent Mrs. Watson.
 The third singles match brought together two young stars Helen Ja- cobs of America and Betty Nnthall of England, who defeated Miss Ja- cobs in last years Wightman Cup competition.
 The final match Of the series brought together the English dou- bles team of Mrs. Watson and Miss Bennett. recent winners of the French hard court championship, against Miss Wills and Miss Pene- lope Anderson, who were elminat English women had high hopes of winning the encounter.
 English tennis experts have never withheld their admiration for the skill and strength of Miss Wills. but her play yesterday fairly electrified them as press comments of critics who watched her match with Mrs. Watson amply testifies.
 Astonishment was general that any woman could drive with such spced-speed which it was declared no woman ever has cqualled at Wimbledon.
 "Shc drove with cold f"rocity one comment. The ping of IIelcns racquet was suggestive of gunfire," wrote another.
 Many experts doubted that Su- zanne Lcifglen. even in the hey day of her tennis career. could have beaten the Helen Wills that played yesterday.
 Miss Jacobs also was the subject Of appreciativc comment for her playing in the doubles with Miss Goss.

 The Rangers place great confi- dencc i'll the hitting power of their team. In the last two games winch resulted in victories for the locals. the crew has batted well over the 300 mark.
 Casey. the slugging twirler will be on the mound for the horne club. In the last two games he has pitch ed. he has allowed the opposition a total of 13 hits.
 The infield combination of Jack Argosy on first base, Cosgrove on second. Mcknerney at short and Milo Argosy on third is playing fast and errorless baseball. The outfield consisting of krause. Manders and Schaeffer, is also fast fielding and hard hitting combination. If any of the regulars should be forced out through injuries or q slump, there is plenty of good reserve mo.erial to be sent in.
 The Rangers, playing their first game before a home town crowd this season, are out 10 demonstate that they are a fast. hard hitting team. From this it may be guessed that the game will be a hard fought battle from start 10 finish
