BROWNE U. P. Special Staff Correspondent (Copyright 1927 by United Press) New York, Aug. 11 (UP) — The international women's tennis team was finally picked yesterday. The | American “line-up is the same as 1, selected two days ago, with the ex- ception of Mrs. Wightman, who re- tains her position in the first doubles combination with Helen Wills. The play Friday will start at 3:30 with Mrs. Mallory vs. Mrs. Godfree. After that match will be Joan Fry | vs. Helen Wills. Then the second doubles combination will meet, Mi: Sterry and Mrs. Hill vs, Mrs, Chapin and Miss Goss. Saturday the first match at 3:00 o'clock will be Betty Nuthall vs. Helen Jacobs, followed by the Mrs. Godfree and Helen Wills match. Then Joan Fry and Mrs. Mallory will meet. The last match of series will be first doubles combination. Mrs. Godfree and Miss Harvey vs. Helen’ Wills and Mrs. Wightman, The English line-up gives every member of the squad a place upon | the team and shows judicious selec- tion. I cannot but feel that the! American selection committee made a mistake in placing Mrs. Wightman in the doubles. She has gone off considerably in her game. The Wills-Wightman combination went down to defeat against our sec- ond double combination in the trial matches. While immediately after- wards Penelope Anderson and Helen Wills took the court against the same combination and won. What are the test matches for 1{ not to guide the selection commit- tee? Can it be that they are swayed by ntiment and feel that because Mrs. (Wightman has donated the cup she should play upon the team? Whatever the regson behind the selection, I cannot but feel it is an unwise choice and may result in our actual loss of the trophy. The first day's play, according to my estimate of the chances for vic- tory, if I may be so bold as to pre- dict, Mrs. Godfree is apt to from Mrs. Mallory. * Helen Wills is by all odds the fav- ! orite over Joan Fry in spite of the has improved con- Helen defeated her de- cigively in their match at Wimbledon this summer. The sccond doubles are nearly a toss-up with our American side a slight favorite. Miss Sterry and Mrs. Hill* of the glish team have better team work and are steadier but Mrs. Chapin and Eleanor Goss are hard hitters and should win if their shots are coming off. That would give England one point and America two the first day. On Saturday when Betty and Helen J to have my life depend on choosing the victor. Helen Jacobs has a far hetter service than Betty Nuthall but the English youngster has a far more reliable fore-arm drive. Miss Jacobs has a slightly better back hand and s a better vollier but Miss Betty has a stronger physique and more stam- ina. It promises to be one of the most interesting matches of the ser- ies. Let us say, as a possibiilty, that Betty Nuthall is the victor. That evens our series, England 2 and America Helen Wills is favored to win over Mrs. Godfree because Helen defeat- two years ago in both the team match and the national and this year in a preliminary tourna- ment leading up to Wimbledon. Helen Wills is stroking powerfully and is in fine alth, while Mrs. Godiree is soft due probably to the fact that she is only four months away from a tonsil operation. Mrs. Mallory, I am afraid, is slat- ed to lose to Joan Fry even though Mrs. Mallory waltzed through her two vears ago. This year finds Molla slightly slower while Joan Fry has improved considerably. I hope, however, for America’s sake that Mrs. Mallory does not lose this mateh because, if Tam correct about the results of the others, it would mean that America gnpd England will be tied 3 points all the series de- pendant upon the Wills-Wightman, Nuthall i Godfree-Harvey match. T would not give much for Ameri- ca's chapces in this match.

Only a few days ago he was reported to have declared that rather than pledge allegiance to “a foreign soverelgn” he would resign leadership of the party. Soon after, he released his followers itrom their undertaking not to sig- nify allegiance to the king and the | British empire. With the 45 republicans assum- ing their seats in the Dail, there will be a strong majority for the opposition parties and there is con- siderable speculation over whether the government of President Cos- ' grave will be able to hold out! against ft.
