MISS STAMMERS BLAMED
LONDON, June 13. The American women tennis players retained the Wightman Cup by beating the British team by four matches to three at Wimbledon. Britain's defeat was due to Miss Stammers's inconsistency.

Miss Jacobs, after two defeats, rallied magnificently in the doubles. Results of the concluding matches were:— Singles.—Mrs. Fabyan' beat Miss Stammers, 6-3. 6-4; Miss Round beat Miss Jacobs, 6-3. 6-3; Miss C. Babcock (U.S.A.) beat Miss M. Hardwick (Britain), 6-4. 4-6, 6-2. Doubles.—Miss Jacobs and Mrs. Fabyan beat Misses Stammers and James, 1-6, 6-3, 7-5.
