New York, May 26.--Two of the keenest rivalries in womer1's sports are due to be renewed this year.
 One is Mrs. Helen Wills Moody's grudge fight with Helen Hui Ja- cobs in tennis.
 The other is the competition be- ! tween Mrs. Glenna Collett Ware and Joyce wethered in golf.
 Of the two, a Mrs. Moody Miss Jacobs match would hold the most Interest, but the meeting between Mrs. Ware and Miss Wethered over the Women's National Links at Glen Head, L. l.. on May 30, is none the less intriguing.
 The rivalry between Mrs. Ware and Miss Wethered is a friendly. one that brought them together three times in seven years of in-y ternational competition and, fater a lapse of three years, is to be re-, vived in special mixed foursome.
 The male members of the quar- tet will be forgotten, for the snatch will develop inot a duel between Mrs. Ware, the five-time American champion, and Miss Wethered, four times champion of England, whom she never has defeated. All of the players will hole out their individual balls on each green, giv- ing the fair stars a chance to Bet in q singles match at the same time.
 Startde 10 Years Ago
 Mrs. Ware and Miss Wethered first met in 1925 when the then. Glenna Collett attempted to annex the British women's championship, a crown that not yet has been bagged by an American. Miss Wethered eliminated the Yankee ace in the third round, 4 and g..
 Miss Collett worked her way to the 36-hole final of the British tournament in 1929 only to bow to Miss Wethered, 3 and l..
 In 1892, Miss Collett again in- vaded England, pretty sure of win ming international honors. because Miss Wethered had announced her intention of remaining out of tour- nament play. But at the last min ute, Miss Wethered was prevailed upon to enter the Griscom Curtis Trophy team play event, and again proved the American girls nenl- esis, winning, 5 and 4.
 There the competition between these two ceased. Tn the interim the British luminary, whom Bobby Jones classes as the greatest wo- man golfer who ever lived. lost her amateur status because she accept de a position in a London sporting goods store. Mrs. Ware was busy raising children.
 Negotiations/ for the coming match between the two were made when it was announced that Miss Wethered would visit the United States for the first time.
 Mrs. Ware, while she admits her British rival is everything Jones says, is confident she can ayenge the three defeats.
 Mrs. Ware Comes Back
 Mrs. Ware points to her return to form, as demonstrated in the women's national tournament at the Whitemarsh Country Club, Philadelphia, late last season. out of competition for some time, and only 10 weeks after her second child was born, the five-time American champion astonished staid experts by her spectacular game in winning her first three matches.
 Mrs. Ware has an idea that Miss Wethered, for the first time in the history of their duels, will be at distinct disadvantage in playing away from home. Mrs. Ware, knows what part this factor plays. She experienced it three times in Eng Hand. @ s
 Playing in her own backyard, with the gallery behind her, Mrs. Ware figures that she will have the psycological advantage necessary to down te Briton.
 Miss Wethered is to participate | in a number of exhibitions in this country as professional. l It is difficult to guess just now fine Miss Wethered's game is to- day. what with her withdrawal from amatuer competition ana tournament play. She has had It. tie opportunity to improve 1t since l then.
 Miss Wethered unquestionabiy l has prepared for her Americah tour, but will require much or her old zeal to again repel Mrs. ware. who would like to even, partially at least, a score that dates back lo years. ssfQ
