walked with the littlest steps and the
gentlest manner that l ever have seen
for a man of his size, The beautiful
women stopped drinking pop and eating
peanuts long enough to give him some
very hearty applause when he started
warming up and he repaid them presently
by knocking a ball clear over the clock

park Then there WAS a demonstration

never been done before After that Babe
wasn't satisfied, so he started ''fungoing
and he hit the ball so high in the air
that it seemed as though it never
would come down Then he knocked one
over the fence again and when he swung
on a ball and didn't hit it the force OF
the swing carried him clear around in a

When the game started Ruth was pre-
sented with basket of gladiolus and the
movie men took pictures OF him n every
thing. Every time he came up to bat the
fans would sit the edge of their sea Is
and hold their breath, hoping that he'd
knock a home run, and. they were greatly
disappointed when he didn't do it. The
crowd would rather have had him make
few home runs than to have the home
team win. In the last inning they walked
the batter ahead of Babe so that he
would have naother chance to please the
crowd, hat though he tried hard and
swung OF the ball hard as he. could
he didn't hit it and then it was all over
and the Indianapolis team had won,

their silk umbrellas and stepped daintily
into a jam that reminded one of the moi

see Babe knock that ball over the score

FOREST HILLS, L. l.. Aug. If.-Molla
Bjurstedt Mallory is the greatest woman
tennis player in the world.
This was the verdict today Of thoI-
sands of ardent devotees Of the net gans
who saw the Morse girl sweep Mile Su-
zanne Lenglen of France from the courts
in the brief space of one set.
Technically, Mile. Lenglen may still be
the international champion, but none
who saw her default Tuesday to the
grim, determined and brilliant Molls,
after a swift and humiliating defeat in
one set attaches any importance to q
mere technicality.
Mile. Lenglen sudden and surprising
action in quitting the court came like
bolt from a clear sky. She pleaded in
ability to continue the match owing to
q sudden recurrence of after effects from
an attack of bronchitis and was led. to

mother, it is said she viii be confined
to her room for a day or two. Her ply
stefan, according to attaches az the Inn,
said her case is not a serious one, but

The one big regret of tennis fans to-
day lies in the fact that Mile. Lenglen
did not finish the match. The Frenchfe
admittedly did not play her best game.

Mrs Mallory was not the Lenglen OF
1919.
At her best, however. she could not
have beaten Mrs. Mallory yesterday.
Since the Morse girl has come into prom
inence in the tennis ornament this writer
has seen her in several of her most bril-
liant victories, but never before has she
displayed the dash and brilliance that
was hers against Lenglen.
As a result of the Mallory Lenglen
match the womens thirty fourth national
championship will be fought out tota fin
fish among American players with the
Morse a prime favorite to RETAIN her
title. Todays program offered several
matches Of unusual promise in the third
round.
Mrs. Mallory drew a comparatively I'M
known opponent in Miss Florence Shell

Edith Sigourney and Mrs Benjamin

Miss Martha Bayard, a player of great
promise. were scheduled to furnish some
