On= | of the most dramatic surprises of the year came swiftly in the final round of tennis play at “Forest Hills | where HelenWills Moody, unde- feated in the tournament for a decade, defaulted to her Califor-| nia rival, Helen Jacobs, for thej American championship. Yet this, enabled Miss Jacobs to be amony the few successful defending cham- | pions of the year, besides * haviny | the distinction of starring in Am- erica’s defense of the Wightman | Cup against the challenge of th2 British team. 5 Equally noteworthy on the femi nine side of the year's log is th2; fact that the only nattonal cham- pions fo repeat were Virginia Vgn( Wie of the U.

The turf was especially hard hit in New York although its ac ties elsewhere spread to unprece- dented proportions. Boxing’s two biggest “gates” barely touched the $200,000 mark, including a world heavy-weight title match, and Madison Square Garden's most strenuous efforts to apply the pull- motor seemed to produce little ef- fect. Baseball, hard hit for the third straight year and forced to unload its star talent in such towns as Philadelphia because of financial reverses, nevertheless locked forward more optimistically to 193¢ with Sunday baseball per- mittcd for the first time in Penn- sylvania and the Boston Red So: rebuilt to pennant-contending 'pro- !pomom by new ownership. | Tragedy stalked through the B P ls:en(‘s of strife.
