Helen
Wills
Moody
has
been
packing
her
trunks
and
rackets
In
San
Frinclsco
lor
her
first
invasion
of
the
east
In
two
years.
"I
hate
the
thoughts
of
that
train
ride,"
says
Mr.
Moody,
"but
what
a
thrill
it
will
be
to
be
back
there
on
the
courts
and
fighting
for
the
national
championship
and
the
Wightman
Cup."
And
what
a
thrill
Mrs,
Moody
will
give
the
customers
who
view
the
matches.
She
left
Saturday
for
Boston,
where
she
unpacks
her
racquets
and
tests
'em
out,
preparatory
to
entering
her
first
tournament
at
the
Essex
County
Country
Club
at
Manchester,
July
20
to
26.
Then
she
will
proceed
to
New
York
for
the,
Seabrlght
tournament
July
27
to
August
1.
Mrs.
Moody's
next
competition
will
be
In
Wightman
Cup
matches,
August
7-8,
and
perhaps
she
will
swing
a
racquet
in
the
annual
West
chester
tournament,
August
10-15,
before
striving
to
regain
the
na
tlonal
championship
at
Forest
Hills,
August
17-27.
That
completed,
she
will
start
for
home
and
no
one
doubts
that
her
luggage
at
that
point
will
be

ted
by
trophies
and

"My

Don't
know
Just
about

says
Mrs.
Moody.
"You
see.
I
nlav

we
usually
wind

with
the

I
don't

whether
I
am
Improving
or

us."
And
I
those
new
strokes?
"No,
I
haven't
altered
my
game,"
she
says.
"I've
learned
how
to
chop,
and
think
It
will
come
in
handy.
But
I
wouldn't
ever
leave
my
anv.ng
game.
It's
too
valuable."
Mrs.

hopes
that

compete

They
are
