Former Queen Slow
Mrs. Moody was not as impress
sive today as she was IN her first
round match Of Tuesday.
She was slow a-foOt and Miss
Yorke gave her considerable trou-
bic by switching her low, deep
drivers from one corner TO the
other. It was noticeable, however,
that Mrs. Moody did not go all out.
Most Of the time she was content
to take a stand at the baseline and
wear her opponent down with long
rallies from deep court.
The Californian, on her lnfre-
ouent sallies to the net, yolleyed
and smashed beautifully.
Mrs. Moody wore q wide pleated
skirt and a neat. hip-length, sin
gle-breasted sleeveless, white belted
Jacket. Her stamina was satisfact-
ory. for in the second set she
seemed as fresh as ever while the
younger Miss Yorke was near ex-
haustion.
America placed a second mem
Der of its Davis cup team in the
round Of Is when Sidney Wood, the
blonde, New York stylist. defeated
Davis Williams Of Wales, 6-3 81
6-3.
It lost one shortly after, howev-
er. when Fred Perry Of England,
defending champion and No. in
world rankings, defeated Johnny
Van Ryn Of Philadelphia, 4-6, 6-l,
6-3, 1913, in a third round match.
The first american supper to
reach the fourth round was Donald
Bulge, youthful Californian, who
defeated the Australian interna-
tionalist, Adrian Quist, 8-6. 6-3, 6-3.
