WIMBLEDON, England, June T. Britains challenge for America's Wightman cup June 10-11 will be left-handed.
 Three members of the British squad are southpaws, and they may be chosen to play the singles match ,es. They are Kay Stammers, more beautiful and less effective than ever before; Peggy Scriven. thy 1888 British hard courts champion, and Margot Lumb.
 If these three are chosen it will be the first time in Wightman cup history that three left-handers have played for one side, and while this will be an interesting innovation, it is not thought likely they will be able to do anything against Helen Wills Moody, Helen Jacobs and Alice Marble, Americaas three singles probables.
 The United States girls now have won seven matches in a row and are overwhelming favorites to make it eight Though the three leading American players are making come backs, it is generally recognized that they are playing very well.
 Miss Scriven May Win
 Miss Scriven is the only British player given even an outside chance of beating any member of Americas Big Three. Not consid- cred good enough to play for Brit ain last year, Miss Scriven was ef-
