MRS. WILLS-MOODY’S ACTION
WITHDRAWAL FROM FINAL. SUPPORT OF JACK CRAWFORD. By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright. New York, Aug. 31. In the opinion of jack Crawford, the Australian tennis -player, . Mrs. Helen Wills-Moody did the right thing when she walked off the court in the women’s national final against Miss Helen Jacobs. “It was bad luck for Miss ■ Jacobs,” he declared, “but it was quite correct if Mrs. Moody was suffering pain; People would have called Mrs. Moody a rotten sport had she just swung her racquet for three more games. They would have, said that she was not trying, and winning that way might have been much more unsatisfactory for Miss Jacobs.”
