LONDON, June T. Mrs. Molla
Bjurstedt Mallory started her match
& with Miss Elizabeth Ryan to-day as if
she intended to make short work Of the
Californian, winning love set at the
start. But then the tide turned swift
ly and Miss Ryan won the next two
sets at Cd, Ga.
The Anglo-Califoruian as she is
called here, now seems to have a fair
ly easy path to the challenge round
and she is expected to give Mile,
Suzanne Lengien hard match an the
Wimbledon courts.
In the first set Mrs. Mallory's back
hand shots were almost perfect. She
won seven straight points before Miss
Ryan steadied down and began to play
her famous drop shot to advantage.
In the final set, Miss Ryan clearly out
generalled the United States champion.
Hunter Scores for United States
From an American standpoint the
next match of Importance was that
between the Irishman, Major C. Camp
bell, and Francis 7. Hunter. whose
hurricane service was far tooS severe
for his opponent to handle. Hunter
took the first two sets, dropped the
third and won the fourth, but ne had
t. play all the way. The score was
60, 7-5, 3-6, 6--4. Hunter meets
3. I. G. Norton, who eliminated H.
Mayes to-day only after fierce strug-
gle extending over four sets, As,
6--2, 6--2 6-2.
To the surprise of the majority, Bill
Tilden included, the Spanish champion,
Manuel Alfonso, took the measure of
Major A. R. F. Kingscote, winning the
first two and the fourth sets easily.
The score was 6--1, 6-3, IS, 60.
tournament England's last hope of fur
nishing Tilden with challenger van
ished Alonso's game was brilliant
and Kingscote's solidity and the accu-
racy of hi0 placing were no match
against the speed and power the Span
lard put into his shots.
{ Kingscote was unable to employ his
backhand strokes to advantage and
Alfonso passed into the semi-fnal round,
Japanese must show a faster game
than he has played to date to live long
with the Spanish star. Tilden thinks
that B. G. G. Norton, of South Africa,
will be his opponent for the Champion
Ship.
Mrs. Mallory and William T. Tilden
were eliminated from the mixed
doubles competition by Max Woosnam
and Miss F. M. Howkins, of England,
who beat the American pair in a hard
match, 3-6, 6-3, 81.
The defeat of Tilden and Mrs. NAL
1ory created great sensation. The
heroine of the match, Miss Howkins,
Nyas making her first appearance on
the center court. Tilden played hard
low volleys straight at her when she
gas at the net and time and again she
scored off him with clever volleying.
She actually carried her partner
Through the second set, which the Eng
Ish side won, 6-3.
+ Woosnam, who has been picked for
the Davis Cup tie against Spain,
played poorly in the first two sets, but
gained confidence in the third, in which
the English couple won out at the six
seenth game after an exciting struggle.
Misses Many Easy Shots
{ Mrs. Mallory missed many easy
shots and Tilden, who does not seem
TO be up to last years form, did not
display ability as doubles player in
comparison with his wonderful work
IN individual matches.
In the second round of the mems
doubles Francis T. Hunter, America,
and Gore, of England, fell before Nor
ton and Barrett through the inability
of Gore to afford his partner help at
critical moments. The score was 6---1,
6--2, 6--1.
Rama Swami, of India, and Mrs.
o'Neill. of England, defeated Arnold
Jones, Of Providence, r. l., and Miss
Edith Sigourney, Of Boston, in the
mixed doubles, As, s--3, 7--5.
