Refuses Warrant
For Dempsey
in Jersey

NEW YORK, Aug. 20.--Judge
Doherty in Jersey City has re-
fused to issue warrants for the
arrest Of Jack Dempsey, Georges
Carpenter, their managers and
Tex Richard, promoter Of the
fight Of July 2 in Jersey City.
The warrant was applied for
by Herbert C. ellison, Of the In
ternational Reform Bureau, who
said the law against prize fight
ing had been violated. Judge
Doherty held that the Hurley
Boxing Law Of 1918 superseded
the anti-prize fighting law of
1898.

Many critics predict an upset a. q
result of this match. They look for
the versatile Miss Browne to 'topple
marvellous Molla from her throne and
point to the season of 1917 In support
of their beliefs.
The 1917 series of matches between
Mary Browne and the then Miss
Bjurstedt resulted IN victory for the
California girl in q majority Of the
exhibition matches played. and It IL
pointed out that she IL playing more
brilliantly today than she did four
years ago.
Molla In Best Form.
Mrs. Mallory at the present time Is
in the best form she has ever ex-
hibited. Her history. in American
tennis shows that she has had several
highly successful and several mediocre
years. but never has she played with
the dash and confidence that is hers
today.
In winning her way into the final
round she outlasted Mrs. May Sutton
Bundy in one of the fastest and
most thrilling matches ever seen In
women's national tournament. In
today's match with Miss Browne the
wonderful driving champion, her ex-
ceptional speed in covering the courts,
her great control Of shots and her
fsne stamina should stand her In
good stead.
1t is just a question OF whether
or not Miss Brownies greater versa
tility and daring net attack can
triumph against these qualities in
the champion.
In the doubles final, also slated for
this afternoon, Miss Browne and Mrs.
Louise r. Williams will meet little
Miss Helen Gilleaudeau and Mrs. L.
@. Morris. This match will be played
after the singles final IL decided and
Miss Browne has the chance Of land
ing two titles.
