MRS. MOODY TO
MAKE TRY FOR
SEABRICHT CUP
BY HENRY McLEMORE
United Press Staff Corresponds

SEABRIGHT, N. j., July 2B. tU,P)
Heaven only knows why she
wants it or what she will do with
it after she gets it, but the fact
stands that Mrs. Helen Wills Moo
dy will step gravely out of the CEN
ter court here today and begin a
drive for the big silver bowl that
goes with victory in the women's
singles division of the annual Sea-
bright invitation lawn tennis tour
nament.
Certainly Mrs. Moody is not seek
ing the cup merely as another orna-
ment for her San Francisco home;
the place must look like a pawn
shop now. 1t must be that Mrs.
Moody is anxious to lay her hands
on the Seabright bowl because II
is one of the few tennis trophies
that has defied the skill and power
of her magic racket. The California
ace has made more than one bid
for the trophy and each time her
quest has ended in failure.
This time the bowl would seem
to be all but wrapped up and de-
livered to the California matron
Despite her long layoff Mrs. Moody
is playing the game of her life anc
Miss Jacobs, Mrs Harper and Miss
Morrill,, to mention three of the
stars that stand in her path to the
title, are likely to be brushed rudely
aside.
Mrs. Moody was to play Miss Vir.
ginia Rice of Boston today. Mis-
Rice will do well to take a game.
Sharing the spotlight with Mrs
Moody will be George Lott, Johnny
Van Ryn and Sidney B. Wood Jr.
all members of the United State.
Davis cup team, who will make
their appearance in the doubles
The boys came straight from tht
toat that brought them from Eng
land, and unless they regain theil
land legs quickly, are likely to watcf
the second round from the grand
stand.

United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK July 28.-tUP)-Time
in it's flight does lot more than
just spelling calendars, put wrinkles
in your girl friends face and bring
on rheumatism and bill collectors
it changes the standings of heavy
weight fighters with amazing rapid
ity.
Less than a month ago Young
(they'll probably call him that until
he grows beard Stribling and
Jack Sharkey were rated the prize
flowers in the pugilistic garden.
Today these men have proved to
be choice bloomers rather than
blooms. In their stead we
have four fighters, two of
them veterans. two of them young
sters; none of whom a year ago
rated more than scant attention.
The veterans are Tommy Lough-
ments, and Mickey Walker, an over
stuffed middleweight who, when he
invaded the bigger decision, was
| thought to be out more for the eX-
ercise and money than for the glory
The youngsters are Charley Ret
zlaff, a Duluth farmer boy, and
Steve Hamas, who learned to swing
his fists within the cloistered walls
of old Penn state.
Loughran may never get title
shot simply because of the ability
that brought him from the has-been
department to the head of the class
1t is highly unlikely that Schmeling
will elect to defend his title against
a man whose left hand, despite its
lightning speed, runs a poor second
to his hair -triggered mind. The
German probably will choose to mix
it with fighter of his own type.
That is to say, a fighter who de-
pends on strength and hitting pow
or the three-Walker, Retzlaff and
Hamas-our choice is Retzlaff, or
the Duluth dynamiter. as we be-
lieve he is called by his intiminates
Charley makes his second metro
politan appearance tonight and
should do about the same thing to
Mateo Osa, his opponent of the
night, as he did to Ralph Ficuello,
a week or so ago. That is. lay him
away after a few rounds of sharp
shooting.
The Retzlaff boy looks like an In
dian and acts like one on the war
path when in the ring. Standing
we'll over six feet and weighing
nearly 200 pounds he is a sight to
behold when he comes out of his
corner, both arms are flying and his
face in dead-pan scowl. Yep.
he's nothing to. take home to the
kiddies to play with, but gentlemen,
how he lays that right one in there!
