The controversy dwarfed tho stunning fact that Queen Helen,' supreme in women's tennis since 1928, had been beaten at last.
 Mrs Moody was seeking to tie Mrs Molla B. Maliory's all-time record of eight national titles by beating Miss Jacobs, who won the title last year when she did. not compete. Each had won a set. In the third and deciding set, "Queen Helen" was losing 0-3. when she walked off the court defaulting.
 Critics Galore
 SOne large group of sports fol- lowers insisted Mrs Moody should have played through the final set. even at the risk of fainting from the numbness and pain caused by a previous spine injury.
 Mrs Moody was accused of be- ing particularly unfair to Miss Jacobs by quitting cold" and de- priving her of the chance of win- ming an out-and-out, rather than a hollow default victory.
 Mrs Moody was able to walk off the court, these critics pointed out. Miss Jacobs, probably needed a doctor worse than did Mrs Moody. She used restoratives repeatedly during the match.
 There has been bad feeling be- tween the two Berkeley, Calf, Helens since both came into na- tional prominence.
 A smaller group of admirers ral- lied to Mrs Moody's defense. These included not only some of the ten- his writers, but officials of the ten- his association and Miss Jacobs herself.
 Real Champion
 Mrs Moody for years has given her best to tennis, meeting. all corners from all countries with q gameness and ability never sur passed in the 46-year history of the national title, they said.
 Her physical condition was such that she would not have entered the national tourney were it not for her loyalty to the game and to the tennis association. She complained constantly during prac- tict, sessions preceding the match --her spine hurt and her legs weren't right.
 Mrs Moody felt she was under no obligation to treat the 1000 spectators to a dramatic, f1uttering taft spin, they believed.
 Yer defenders criticized the gall lery members who jeered and cat called Mrs Moody.
 Miss Jacobs said: "If Helen felt that her physical condition justi- fed her withdrawal, then we should feel that way too. She alone knew her condition"

k In the heat of summer when a fisherman must troll in the heat of the day to catch any fish. the trolling triangle is a valuable ar ticle to have along.

Sportsmanship being at a pre- mium these uays, consider the lovely gesture of Helen Jacobs, newly crowned tennis queen, to whom Helen Wills Moody de- faulted Saturday at Forest Hills, after facing certain defeat for the first time in seven years. Despite the well known frigidity between the two Helms, Miss Jacobs had this to say about Mrs Moody's quitting the match when she was trailing love three in the third set, claiming physical inability to con- tinue: If Mrs Moody says her con- dition at that point would not al- low her to continue, we should agree to it, because after all, no one but she knows exactly how she felt at that time" It takes great sportswoman to say that, feeling the way she did, after be- ing robbed of a convincing victory by default, when Mrs Moody de- cided to discontinue play. Viva, la Jacobs!

A number of interesting things. in addition to a half dozen nip and tuck golf matches featured the thrcc- day invitation golf tOurna- ment at Waterbury Country club concluded Saturday when Bobby Grant of Wcthersfield defeated "Sherry" MunsOn, Taft school golf captain for top honors. Ed Tuttlc's scor- ing system. for instance. was quite a novelty to me. Ed scores each hole separately, using a code, which shows at q glance, the wood, irons and butts taken by each participant rom tee to green. Ball out of bounds arc marked Q. B. (get that straight, Mir Compositor) while birdics are marked with a circled ''B," and the score on each hole written in square, which can be immediately compared with par figures.

Over the Week-End

They do say officials of the City Amateur league will be regalcd to- night with questions by the Water- vile management in regard to Bill Flanagan's alleged catch of Con- ways hit over shortstop in the game won by Brooklyn yesterday, the point being that Hadley, um- piring behind third base and nearest to the play should have ruled on it rather than Costaldo, who was across the diamond be- hind first base. Many of the fans claim that Flanagan trapped" the ball, getting it on a "pick-up" while others say it was beautiful shoestring grab. Yet, according to the Waterville board of strategy the one man who should give an opinion on the play refused to do so. Which Is why out of town unl- pires may work the next Brooklyn Waterville game, if any.
