Rv HENRY. .McLENIORE


NEW YORK, July 3-With the
Fourth of July 50 near a. hand It
is only fitting and proper that I
devote a few lines OF my immortal
prose and when : say immortal I
mean here today and gone tomor-
row 10 fireworks.
So. this afternoons little essay
will deal with the likely meeting OF
Mrs. Helen Wills Moody and Hell
en- Jacobs, the Mrs. Hatfield and
Miss Mccoy Of sport. in the final
round Of the An-England tennis
tournament at Wimbledon.
Right now the two Helens are
but one step removed from q COM
forting grab at each others
throats. Both are in the semi-fin-
ais and if Mrs. Moody can dispose
Of Joan Hartigan Of Australia and
Miss Jacobs of Hilda Sperling OF
Denmark nothing short Of a de-
cree by the king can keep them
apart.
And speaking OF the king, he's
not likely TO do that for George
and Queen Mary are just about the
red-hottest. blue -bloodest. tennis
followers in England, and # the
two old enemies meet the kings
sure to be there, perched on the
edge of his wicker seat with the
special rest for his short little legs
| in the royal box.
And you can't blame him. for
the meeting Of La Moody and ia
cobs will be something fit for a
king. If they get together It will be
the most natural natural in
sports. The last time they met, on
that memorable afternoon at For
est Hills in 1893, La Moody, who at
that time had lost only one set IN
six or seven years, walked off the
court in the third and final set,
handing the American title TO Miss
Jacobs.
No FriendIiness Here
Mrs. Moody quit because Of an
injured back, but that didn't keep
the paid observers, including this
writer, and the thousands in the
stands, from speculating on whe-
ther Mrs. Moody, on the best day
she ever saw, could have licked the
inspired Jacobs OF that afternoon.
When Mrs. Moody and Miss ia
cobs play it's more than clash Of
styles-it's a resounding, head-on
collision of personalities. For the
gals don't ike each other Their
conversation is limited to impolite
mods, and when they face each
other across the net you have the
feeling that they'd rather lay down
their racQuets and settle the issue
with little forehand hair-pulling.
