Sun Beau, by winning the Ar

grand total in FIVE years of turf
campaigning to $330,044, exceed
ing by $1,879 the 1921 earned
by Gallant Fox before his retire

singles championship, the 140-pound

DOESN'T GIVE GAME
TO HELEN JACOBS
Queen of Courts Takes Just
80 Minutes for Victory
at Seabright.
BY FOSTER HALEY.

- EABR1GHT, N. j., august
~ R.-Mrs. Helen Wills Moody,
playing her second tourna-
ment of the year required
just IL games and 80 minutes
today to prove she has no serious
rivals in the United States as a
tennis player.
In that length Of time she de-
feated Helen Jacobs, her Cali
fornia neighbor, in the final of the
Seabright invitation tennis tour
nament, 60, 60. Mrs. Moody
thereby gained her first leg on the
big silver bowl which Miss Jacobs
was attempting to put out of cir
culation.
Cool as flake of falling snow, the
acknowledged woman champion of
tennis champions gave her younger rival
from the Pacific Coast as artistic a
trimming as the latter ever has ex-
perienced in a major tournament.
Staying on her base line most of
the time, Mrs Moody chased Miss
center court to the other, driving back
at the latter with stunning speed the
soft shots Miss Jacobs attempted to
use to break up Queen Helens game.
Runs Rival Weary.
Advancing to the net only at rare
intervals, and then to no particular
effect, Mrs. Moody merely ran her
rival until she was arm and leg weary
and let Miss Jacobs defeat herself. The
latter had 33 outs in the IL games and
drove nj
It was only in the first game and
the last three that the match resembled
a contest.
In the first game Mrs. Moody was
merely warming up and was missing
the corners with her long, fiat drives,
In the last three Miss Jacobs, defeat
staring her in the face, started to
smash and drive with the speed and
power of which she Is capable and
made Mrs. Moody hustle to win. Mrs.
Moody did not let this closing furry
disturb her, however, and always had
matters under control.
A capacity crowd Of 5000 persons
filled the stands and stood along the
sidewalks for the match, but they found
little to cheer about. It was merely

Mrs. Moody lost only nine games in

she lost Thursday In the semi-finals
