WEST CLEANED Up
IN EASTERN TENNIS
California Men, Women and
Children Took Most Everything
Except Suzanne's Goat
EVEN PUSHED MRS. MALLORY

A little group of California men and
women and children came East few
weeks ago with some tennis racquets.
They are going back home soon with
almost everything the East has to offer
In the way of championships, silver
bowls and cups. If they couldn't get
the whole cup, they took one Of its
legs. Two things they wanted, but
failed to capture, were the women's
national championship and Suzanne
Lenglen's goat. Mrs. Molla Bjurstedt
Mallory acquired both for the greater
glory Of the East.
II was with the hope of showing Su
zanne Lenglen that she couldn't cor
ner the market in olive branches and
laurel wreaths that the two greatest
women players who ever came out of
the@West-Mrs. May Sutton Bundy and
Miss Mary X. Browne-returned to
tournament play after long years in
retirement. In Mrs. Bundy's case. the
absence extended over almost fourteen
years. and Miss Browne had been out
of the title chases half that long.
Because Suzanne Lenglen coughed in
opportunity's face when he knocked at
her door last Tuesday. neither of these
mis- queens, met her. But they met and
conquered most of the other women
stars assembled hereabouts, with the
exception Of Mrs. Mallory and Miss
Eleanor Goss.
Pushed Mrs. Mallory
And Mrs. Mallory will never forget
the thrilling. slashing game she had to
play last Friday to eliminate Mrs.
Bundy in the national semi finals, nor
the stamina and strategy she was forced
to summon to retain her title the fol-
lowing day after Miss Browne had won
the first set of the finals.
These two Western tennis heroines
opened their Eastern campaign by
bowling over all other entrants In the
New York State tournament. Miss
Browne beat Mrs. Bundy in the finals.
The next day the Santa Monica maiden
took the title away from Miss Marie
Wagner. of New York, the 1920 cham
pion. Miss Browne was stopped In the
semi finals at the Sea Bright invita-
tion matches by Miss Eleanor Goss. of
Now York, ranking player number five,
who also defeated the fifteen year old
prodigy of Berkeley. Miss ]. Helen
White, in the third round there.
Miss Wills later became the national
junior champion by defeating Miss Nir-
ginia Carpenter, Of the Philadelphia
Cricket Club, at Forest Hills.
Miss Browne and Mrs. Louise Il.
Williams, Of Los Angeles. won the
national doubles title at Forest Hills.
In the Metropolitan tournament. Miss
Brownp dcfaulted on advice of her
physician, and Mrs. Bundy triumphcd
daily until the semi finals, when it re-
auired three sets for Mrs. Mallory to
subdue her.
Davis Gets Cup
Willis L. Davis of San Francisco.
won a leg on the Meadow Clubs Cup
at Southampton by defeating Vincent
Richards. last years winner in the
challenge round.
The Kinsey brothers, Robert and
Howard, of California, were semi
finalists in doubles at the Newport in
vitation tournament, and linalists at
Sea Bright when they lost to the Davis
Cup combination, Williams and Wash
burn.
Philip Neer, of Leland Stanford Uni
versity, the intercollegiate champion.
and Wallace J. Bates, Of the Univer-
sity of California, garnered plain and
fancy victories in an assortment of
Eastern tournaments.
And William NJ. Johnson, OF San
Francisco. is picking on everybody that
gets across the net from him. Par
ticularly he is annoying r., Norris
Williams, I'd, Of Boston. Johnson won
the Longwood tournament and the one
at Sea Bright by beating Williams in
the finals. Some of the pro- West ex-
perts are predicting he will cap off the
Vests triumphs this year by dethron-
ing William II. Tilden, I'd, the ma
ti0nal champion, in the championship
tournament which begins at the Ger
mantown Cricket Club on September o.
