Tennis Stars Regain Wightman Trophy For U.S.

Tennis at Forest Hills, N.Y. Mrs. Helen Wills Moody retains her crown as “Queen of the Courts” with a sterling tennis match victory over Betty May Nuthall Shoemaker, star of England’s net team, sent over to defend the Wightman Cup.  Our Helen swings back into her old unbeatable game to defeat British Betty Nuthall 6-4, 6-2.  With Helen Jacobs, the one-time national champion gathers enough points in the singles to bring the emblem of feminine tennis supremacy back to America.
