Mrs. Mallory and Miss Browne Will
 Clash for Title

Forest Hills, August 19.-The womans lawn tennis singles cham pionship of 1921 lies between Mary K. Browne of Santa Monica, Cal, and Mrs. Molla Bjurstedt Mallory of New York. Tomorrow afternoon these sole survivors of the thirty fourth na- tional titular tournament will meet for the crown now worn by Mrs. Nal lory In the semi final round here today Miss Browne, champion in 1912, 1918 and 1914, won the right to compete for premier honors again by defeating Mrs c. V. Hitchins of Mexico City, 6-3, 60, while Mrs. Mall lory became finalist by eltminat- ing Mrs. May Sutton Bundy the in ternational sensation of the courts. almost two decades ago, S-6, 6-2.
 A Hard Fight
 While Miss Browne had a com paratively easy task in defeating Mrs. Hitchins. the champion fought a ter rife court battle with Mrs. Bundy before she conquered the fight from the spirit of the California matron, and paved the way for her complete defeat in the second set. In many respects, the contest between Mrs. Mallory and Mrs. Bundy was the most sensational of the tournament, not even excepting the dramatic play and climax in the Mallory-Lenglen match of Tuesday. Mrs Bundy, brought from the Pacific coast after virtual retirement from tournament tennis in recent years, staged a sensational ,nk1 ,l ,k ktcl, nxtin c1 U hrA T. ened to dethrone the Morse woman, until nature could no longer keep pace with spirit and slowing up of Mrs. Bundy made victory possible for her opponent.
 Both players warmed up like whirl- winds as soon as they came on the court and the sympathies and sup port of the galleries immediately went out to the Californian. when 1t was seen that she was playing With all the dash. fire and power which made her invincible nearly 20 years ago.
 Mrs. Mallory in Form
 The practice stroking. however, was not to be compared with the battle which was staged when the referee called play. Mrs. Mallory opened the service and continuous volley of strokes, which ran close to 20 before the champion lost the points on an error. gave an indica tion of what was to come. From that point on, through the 14 games of the first set, the ring of the rackets was audible throughout the grandstand enclusure as the two players drove and mashed the ball back and forth without moments let-up.
 A greater part of the sensational play centered in this set and the closeneSs of the battle is clearly In- dicated by the difference of but five points between winner and loser. Both fought almost continuously from the base line, although Mrs. Bundy made an occasional sortle to the net. A study of the stroke andy sis discloses the fact that 1t was Mrs. Bundys repeated driving the ball on the base line of her oppon- ent's court that finally brought her downfall. In placements. and other departments of the play the pair were comparatively well matched ara each took turns in racing the otner back and forth across the base lihes in order to reach deep court drives.

Dr. Pratt Sreached a soul-surring sermon from he scripture, T am come that they Might have life, and that they might have it abundantly."

HALL CASE WILL GO TO JURY BY
 10 THIS MORNING
(Continued from Page one)

money was not given to the Tender son woman.
 On various occasions she demanded and got sums ranging from $25 10 $500
 This money was gotten, Hall stated, by threats of prosecution or prom ises to leave him alone and go away. NOn one occasion, he testified, she secured $200 on a fake telegram from her father, written in Sheffield by a cotton buyer who, Hall said, later confessed that he had fixed the tele- gram and signed Miss Hendersons fathers name to it because she had told him she was compelled to have the money and that Hall would not pay the money unless she would agree to go home, If her father would allow her to come.
 Hall further stated that he had never 'registered at hotels with the woman as man and wife, but that on one occasion she had registered him as her husband In Nashville.
 Letters Introduced
 On cross examination the letters written by Hall to Martha Henderson in St. Louis, were introduced.
 Many of them contained many par arranhs of love and referred to Miss Henderson as "Hunny Darling" Pre- cious Baby" and other names com monly used by lovers
 These letters are the most damaE- ing testimony the state has offered and Fritz Thompson, who read the letters In court, was hard In his crit icism when Hall would state that ne did not know why he sent them or what he was doing.
 However, much of the lost ground was regained when the defense began the introduction of letters received by Hall from Miss Henderson.
 Many of the letters contained threats against Hall and his family and referred to Halls wife in the most unkind terms.
 It became necessary during the aft ernoon to take the young daughter or Hall from court room when she broke down and wept
 Mrs. Hall wept in silence as the prosecution pleaded for the life of her husband
 A number of witnesses for both sides were examined today and many told of threats against the life of Hall. while others were of an op- posite nature.
 Annie Berry, colored. stated that the woman had dressed in her clothes on one occasion and gone to Halls store, with plstol cohcealeo ih lard bucket and had threatened to s.kjll him. or he would kill her one" 1 Beyond the letters produced in court. it was conceded tonight that Hall had scored many points today in his fight for his life, and that 1t was beginning to be matter or speculation as to what the jury would do.
 w. A. Henderson, father of the girl, did not return to this city to assist in the prosecution of Hall. 4J
