overthrow as American titalist By
in straight sets.
ALI other matches of the year
including Allison's capture of the
title on the following day with a
triumph over Sidney B. Wood oil
New York, we're overshadowed by
this unexpected victory. 1t was a
doubly sweet win for Allison, as il
not only gave him the champion
ship which had eluded him so long
but it also erased the memory Of
his Davis Cup humiliation in 1884
when he was summoned to Eng
land only to be denied a place on
the team.
While it did not happen on
American soil, probably the out
standing match of the year, from
an international standpoint, was
the amazing battle between the
two California Helens-Mrs. Moody
and Miss Jacobs - in the ciiam-
pionship round at Wimbledon.
Took Four Straight Games
Mrs. Moody, after retirement of
two years, moved through the
strongest possible field to defeat her
old rival in the final and re-estab-
lished herself as the greatest fem
mime player in the world.
The defeat was a heart breaking
one for Miss Jacobs, but she gained
a measure of consolation by win
ming the American women's title
for the fourth year in succession,
this time by straight set triumph
over Mrs. Sarah Palfrey Fabyan of
Boston. Mrs. Moody Gid not play
in this tournament which, for the
first time in history, was held in
conjunction with the mems tour
nament. Miss Jacobs also shared
in the national doubles title, pair
ing with Mrs. Fabyan to defeat
Carolin Babcock and Mrs. Dorothy
AndruS in the final.
Van Ryn and Allison First
A new pair succeeded to the mems
double championship which was
abandoned by George Lott and Les
ter Stoefen when they turned pro-
fessional. In the final round ut
Boston the veteran internationalists,
Johnny Van Ryn and Allison, de-
feated the young Californians,
Donald Bulge and Gene Mako.
Bulge, by the way, was the years
biggest surprise and biggest disap-
pointment. The red haired Cali
fornian, taken to England with the
Davis cup team as gamble, herald
eel his first appearance at Wimble-
don by reaching the semi-flnals. In
the round of four he was defeated
by Baron Gottfridd Won Cramm Of
Germany. The championship was
won by Perry.
The American Davis Cup bid end
ed in dismal failure. After hair
breadth escape from the German
team in the interzone final, the
Americans collapsed in the chal-
lenge round with England.
Grant Springs Surprise
When the national championships
opened Bulge was seeded ahead of
Allison, the No. l ranking player,
and it was thought that he would
meet Perry in the final. But the
Californian was put out in the quar-
ter-final round by Bryan (Bitsy)
Grant OF Atlanta, who subsequently
bowed to Wood in the round of
four.
The American Wightman cup
team scored over British women in
an amazing comeback.
