FOREST HILLS, N. Y., Aug.

20. |

—The U. S. Wightman Cup team |

began defense of the international |

tennis trophy today and were slight favorites to repulse Great Britain's 11th challenge in the 15-year history of the cup The British, who have won the Wightman Cup but four times, only once have invaded the United States to conquer. That was in 1925. The other victories came in 1924, 1925 and 1930. The four United States players will be playing for their seventh straight victory. The American girls boast 17 years of Wightman Cup experience among their four members. Former champion of Berkeley, Cal, is the of the American team, played for the prized trephy the last nine years. Mrs Palfrey Fabyan of Cambridge, Mass, is next with six vears. Marble, national United States singles champion, and Mrs. Marjorie Gladman Van Ryn of Austin, Tex, played together in doubles, | and lost, in their only previous | Wightman match in 1933 Miss Marble has risen fast since | then and will play the No. 1 singles role against Mary Hardwick in the opening match this afternoon. The second match, Miss Jocabs vs. Kay Stammers, Britain's No. 1 singles ace, is expected to provide the fireworks. The English girl is the favorite, and if she fails the Union Jack’s cause is virtually lost The third match-—doubles—sends Miss Marble and Mrs. Fabyan against Evelyn Dearman and Joan Tngram, and the British again are favored
