Unlike the Davis Cup, the trophy which Mrs. George W. Wightman put up for women's international play in 1923 has been won by the U. S. regularly since 1931 in team matches against England. Last week, at Forest Hills, however, the U. S. Wightman Cup team had a few anxious moments.

For Helen Wills Moody to defeat her on the tennis court with superb, indifferent ease ? at Wimbledon in 1929 and 1932, at Forest Hills in 1928 and 1931?became a matter of routine. While Helen Wills Moody was feted in London and Paris, Helen Jacobs was mentioned in the newspapers as the unfortunate girl whom Mrs. Moody regularly beat.
