...green stands, anxious not to miss the dramatic defeat of Mrs. Moody, which they feared or hoped might happen any day. To British galleries the 31-year-old Californian had demonstrated that she was still good enough to win and also shaky enough to be beaten-which she twice was, in pre-Wimbledon warmup tournaments.

But when the semi-finals were over, and Mrs. Moody had downed Frau Sperling after a grueling free...
