Helen Wills Moody is still an able tennis player as she demonstrated last fortnight when she paired with Germany's Baron Gottfried von Cramm to win the mixed doubles in the Pacific Southwest championship tournament from Mrs. John Van Ryn and Donald Budge. But "a stupid mechanical difficulty with a joint called the sacroiliac" persists and, as she recognizes by writing her autobiography, her tennis career is over. Today her career is on other courts: she paints (mostly still life), designs sport clothes and Lastex underwear, has lately taken a screen test, entertains in her duplex studio apartment on Nob Hill, surrounded by an array of lamps created out of tennis trophies.
