Outstanding Favorite as Net Tournament at Forest Opens. MOLLA DEFENDS TITLE i Game Fight Expected From Mri Mallory. BY HENRY L. FARRELL United Pres* Staff Correepondent NEW YORK, Aug. Miss Helen Wills, the first of the increasing number of “unofficial American ambassadors to Europe,” was to begin on the turf courts at Forest Hills today her conquest to win back the American national tennis championship. Before Bobby Jones and the fliers had been extolled as agents grasping the hands across the sea, Helen Wills started the United States to Europe and she is Just back from another selling trip which won for her the Wimbledon championship in which were entered all the greatest amateur players in the world. Undisputed Champ If she wins at Forest Hills (his week she will be the undisputed champion of the world—and a most popular one. There still remains Mile. Suzanne Lenglen to dispute the claim, but Mile. Lenglen is no longer a member of the amateur family and some good authorities such as Miss Mary K. Browne are of the opinion the young American girl could beat the French star with the game she now is playing. So well is she playing Helen is a prohibitive favorite to regain the title that is now held by the veteran /Mrs. Molla Mallory. ' There are others besides Mrs. Mallory in the field of entries. There are, for instance, the British girls captained by Mrs. Kitty McKane Godfree, one of the greatest players in the game; Miss Kea Bouman, the Dutch champion, and other good American players like Miss Helen Jacobs and Miss Eleanor Goss. Looks Like Cinch

Considering the sweep Miss Wills made through Europe and the poor success Mrs. Mallory had there and in her matches when she returned to this country, the young former champion might be a cinch. Mrs. Mallory, however, may have played herself back on to the top of her game. She played like a champion in the Wightman Cup matches and her game was a revelation to those who had counted her out. But they have been counting Mrs. Mallory and Billy Johnston out for years. Granting that she has all the class nhe seems to have, Miss Wills will not have a walk through because Mrs. Mallory is one of the game’s most courageous fighters and she can still play a little tennis. Miss Wills is the bet, however.
