tenor of its way at Forest Hills yester-
day. There was plenty Of thrilling ten
mis- on tap. but the intense excitement
the furore-of the first two days was
over although not forgotten.
Before the third round matches were
begun within the grandstand enclosure
there was only one subject wherever
tennis fans congregated and that was
Mile Lenglens dramatic defeat at the
hands of Mrs. Franklin l. Mallory on
Tuesday. While views differed as the
cause OF her startling defeat In the Sec

was that temperament rather than lack
Of condition was the answer.

Mrs. Mallory, play Miss Florence Shell
don. She had little to say beyond the
fact that she was still far from strong.
and that the fits of coughing that punc-
tuated her exhibition the previous day
were recurring every now and then.
Mrs. Mallory as she walked off the
court after defeating Miss Sheldon, 60,
6--1, espied the French girl and came
over to greet her and ask her about
her health They chatted amiably for
several minutes and then shook hands
with apparent warmth Suzanne ex-
pressed the hope that she would have
an opportunity to play the American
titlehoider again before going back to

1t was announced definitely that Mile.

was to have played with Mrs. Mallory as
her partner, but that II her condition

The programme was abbreviated b,
rain yesterday. While the last of the
third round singles matches was In
progress-that between Miss Mary X.
Browne of California and Miss Edith
Sigourney of Boston-a heavy downpour
drove all hands off the courts. and after
brief wait play was officially called off
for the day. At the time Miss Browne
had one owe set to her credit and was
leading, 81, in the second apparently
on her way to a decisive victory. A
number OF doubles matches in the second
round also were going on at the time,
and these too had to be abandoned.
The tournament in singles wer brought
down to nine survivors. with all but
Miss Browne and Miss Sigourney in
the round before the semi-final. Four OF
the nine-Mrs. Mallory. Mrs. Edwin A.
Falk, Miss Helen Gilleaudeau and Mrs.
H. Stuart Green-are residents of the
metropolitan district; two-Mrs. Benja-
min r. Cole and Miss Edith Sigourney--
are Bostonians, and the others are Mrs.
May Sutton Bundy and Miss Browne of
California, and Mrs c. V. Hitchins of
Mexico city. IT Is being taken almost as
a certainty that the finalists will be
Mrs. Mallory and Miss Mary X. Browne,
although Mrs Bundy, Judging from the
form she showed yesterday and the way
in which she extended Mrs. Mallory at
Glen Cove n fortnight ago. is expected
TO make 1t decidedly interesting for the
American champion in the semi-hnal
round.
The Lenglen match over Mrs. Mallory
played calmer and far less aggres-
sive game against Miss Sheldon yester-
day. Her opponent was not strong
enough to extend her. and she stroked
along leisurely except when a particu-
larly good shot by the Montclair girl
forced her TO come through with
sparkling get" and one of her finest
forehand forcing drives. 1t was a good
natured match. In which Mrs. Mallory
manpuvred sllfully. catching Miss Shell
don out of position and compelling
errors Nine points were all Miss Shell
don cor score In the first set and eight
IN the second, most of them the result
OF excusable errors on the part of the
champion when she elected to play the
lines too finely or TO get the ball just
over the net. The only game Miss Shell
don won was the second in the second
set and she broke through service to
win It 1t was all over in about twenty
minutes
Mrs. BENJAMIN Il. Cole. the national
