S?ORTS. Mrs Moody and Belty Nuthall Are Held to Be Below T ennzs Form of Last Year AMERIGAN WOMAN DUE TO TOP DRAW English Girl Does Not Seem Likely to Retain Title She Won in 1930. BY J. P. ALLEN. EW YORK, August 11.— There is a keen and in-| satiable curiosity as to the arrangement of the seeding | of the draw for the women’s na- tional lawn tennis championships singles tournament. That impor- tant function will be performed tomorrow for the competitions that begin next Monday on the turf at Forest Hills. ow it may be remarked that nobody is Sufficiently bold as to predict that Betty Nuthall will again repeat on the American laurels. It is the general im- pression, if her performance in _the | ‘Wightman Cup matches is any indica- tion, that she is not up to last year. The American seeding for the cham- pionship battles is, however, of para- mount _importance. Admittedly, ~ M: Hel®n Wills Moody is none too formi. dable. Close study of the Seabright and Wightman Cup stroke analysis inclines one to the cpinion that her present | strength lies in everlastingly keeping the | ball in court. Taking into account the recent tour- naments, the belief prevails that those | given preference of place on the Ameri- can side will be headed by Mrs. Moody. | Taere can scarcely be any question as | to this. The former queen of Wimble- don has been winning with monotonous regularity, despite whether or not her game is as strorig as it formerly was. Her success is largely based upon her cool, calm poise that carries her over difficulties. ‘The balance of the American seeding tomorrow is largely speculative. There is the belief that it will follow approxi- mately this order: Helen Jacobs, Mrs. Lawrence A. Har- &r Mrs. Marion Zinderstein JeIE\Ip. Gl This is six out of the eight for Cali- fornia. ‘There is little expectation that Sarah | Paifrey will get into the seeding. She as not kept up her pace this season, nor have several of the other younger | group of comers among the girls for thst mlthf:'r i helsl 2 degree the seeding and al- loun-nx. of place in the draw tomorrow will determine the chances cf Ameri- the national crown from of players, aug- will be, by ‘Mrs, Eileen Bennett Whit MflJo‘nRfi.leylnd Goldsack d of Mrs. is possesser tial powers not by any means to despised.
