OREST HILLS, N. Y., August 22, —Led by Helen Wills, Berke- ley's queen of the courts, the California delegation is making a strong bid for a monopoly in the women's national tennis champion- ship.

The Washington ownorship, unlike the own of other clubs down in the race, thus far has not seen fit to gather any material for testing or anything else.
