...finals, Mrs. Moody's opponent was Eileen Bennett Whittingstall. Before her marriage to Painter Edmund Fearnley Whittingstall, Eileen Bennett defeated Mrs. Molla Mallory in the 1928 Wightman Cup Matches. Still the prettiest and best-dressed of woman tennis players, her game has improved brilliantly this year. But while Mrs. Moody was sweeping through the upper half of the draw almost as easily as in 1929. Mrs. Whittingstall was having a hard time of it in the lower half. In the quarter-finals she played a great match against Helen Jacobs, considered second best woman player in the U.S. After...
...Moody, who has not lost a set in singles competition since 1927, received the Championship Cup, which she had not tried for last year, for the seventh time, denied renewed rumors that she would turn professional. Next day, Eileen Bennett Whittingstall, paired with Betty Nuthall, won the U.S. Women's Doubles Championship by beating Dorothy Round and Helen Jacobs...

...days of racing off Newport ended the cruise. Twenty-two year old Elizabeth ("Sis") Hovey, sailing her father's Istalena, beat Secretary of the Navy Charles Francis Adams (called "Chick" by fellow yachtsmen) in the Vanitie to win the Astor Cup for sloops; Rowe B. Metcalf's Sachem won the Astor Cup for schooners. Next day, in a fine fresh breeze, Weetamoe won the cup presented by King George V, beating Valiant by one second over the 30-mile triangular course...
Though dull weather made the New York Yacht Club cruise, like several regattas this year, slightly disappointing, U.S. yachtsmen have enjoyed a lively summer. Instead of racing for the America's Cup, there was the transatlantic race, won by Olin J. Stephens' yawl Dorade which, still in British waters last week, also won the Cowes-Fastnet-Plymouth race. Gales made a majority of the boats in the Fastnet race seek port before the finish; they caused the second death of the year in British yachting when Col. C.H.
