They seemed to think the world's foremost woman tennis player ap- plied the pressure to bring about a humiliating setback for her Califor- nia rival for several reasons. s First and perhaps foremost, there has been a lack of cordiality be- tween the California Helcns, al- though the origin or reasons for this have never been quite clear. Both came up in the same Berkeley school. At one time, Miss- Jacobs was toutéd to take the measure of Mrs. Moody, but her chances of doing so now appear extrémely re- mote. Moreover, Seabright has held a “jinx” for Mrs. Moody that she was perhaps anxious to shake off as convincingly as possible, It was on this Jersey turf that Elizabeth Ryan twice took the measure of the Californian, in 1925 and. 1926, at a time when Helen was na- tional champion. This year’s victory is the first for Mrs. Moody in the Seabright singles. In her first two Eastern finals, the first at Essex against Mrs. Anna Harper, the world’s champion lost just one game in four sets. Moody Not “Soft” Touch Helen Jacobs made the tactical mistake of softening her game at the outset against Mrs. Moody. Per- haps she had in mind the success of Miss Ryan's sharply angled chops and sliced shots on the same turf in former years. But Miss Jacobs never has had either the versatility or control characteristic of Miss Ryan's game at its best. The result was that her softly stroked returns were setups for Mrs. Moody and it was too late when she finally chose to slug it out. Speed is the only factor that now can make much impression against Mrs. Moody's baseline game. Mrs. Marion Jessup demonstrated this at Seabright, when she press- ed the champion in the semifinals. Betty Nuthall, the English girl couples rare confidence with her swift drives, a combination that has troubled the queen of Ameri- can courts on several occasions. The renewal of Anglo-American rivalry at Forest Hills affords in- teresting comparison of Betty and Helen for the 1931 records. Dive!

It resulted in the elimination of as stalwart a performer' as Don Moe, who missed qualifying by a stroke. JFive out of the 32 match play compeitors in the national tourna- ment of 1929 were from this sec- tor. Two Oregonians, Moe and Dr. O. F. Willing, were on the 1930 Walker Cup team.
