QUEEN HELEN LONE
-SURE7F|RE VICTOR
America Slight Favorite to
RepeI British for Third
Straight Triumph.
~ the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
TOREST HILLS, N. Y, August
r 4.-Her bid for the Davis
i Cup ended for another year,
America called upon her
women stars to hold the Wight
man Cup against the challenge
of Great Britain in a two-day
test, opening today on the famous
courts Of the West Side Tennis
Club.
The American team, led by Helen
Wills Moody, ruled . slight favorite to
win the series for the third year in
succession and for the seventh time
since the cup was offered for Ncompeti-
tion in 1928. Great Britain has won
the cup four times.
In point Of experience the American
squad holds big edge for only Alice
Marble Of Sacramento, rising young
singles player, is q newcomer to
Wightman Cup play. Mrs. Moody has
been on every cup team except that OF
and Sarah Palfrey on the last three.
OMY Betty Nuthall and Dorothy
Round Of the British team have
played in the series previously,
Mary Heeley, Freda James and Margaret
Scriven all being newcomers.
Except to concede Mrs. Moody two
victories In singles, expert observers
found little data on which to base
prediction Of the outcome Of the other
i've matches. In the past the United
States has shown its principal strength
In singles and Great Britain in doubles
and that may hold good again.
Today's program called for singles
matches between Miss Jacobs and
Dorothy Round, the British star who
astonished the tennis world by taking
a set from Mrs. Moody in the Wimble-
don finals, and between Mrs. Moody and
Margaret Scriven, winner Of the French
hard court title this Spring. The re-
manning match, In doubles, pitted the
American champions, Miss Jacobs and
Miss Palfrey, against Miss Round and
Miss Heeley.
Tomorrow the series will close with
three singles and one doubles match.
Mrs. Moody will play Miss Round, Miss
Jacobs will meet Miss Scriven and Miss
Marble will clash with Miss Nuthall.
The doubles duel will send Mrs. Moody
and Miss Marble against Miss James
and Miss Nuthall
Play was to open at pm. G. 8. To,
today, and at 1:30 pm. tomorrow.
