London, Mar. 12.
Mrs. Wills Moody is not likely to turn professional after all owing to the collapse of negotiations Mile, Jadwiga Jedrzejowska, the Polish champion, who was required as hec opponent, has decided to remain an amateur.
Despite her, frequent denials, Mrs. Moody was quite prepared to sign a contract for a professional tour this winter, according to the leading professional lawn tennis promoter, Mr. Bill O'Brien.
Another member of the troupe would have been Frankie Parker, the American Davis Cup player, who until recently was ranked as second singles partner in the United States.
Parker, according {o his coach, Mercer Beasley, is likely to turn professional in ihe near future. He received an offer to tour with Perry and Vines this winter, but turned it down in favour of the projected tour of Mrs. Moody and Mile Jedrzejowska which was then thought likely to materialise.
At that time Mrs, Moody was said to have agreed to turn professional if a suitable opponent could be found for her. The promoters announced that they had made an offer to Mile Jedrzejowska but the latter denied all knowledge of any guch offer and said she had never considered giving up her amateur status.—Reuter.
