MOLLA MALLORY TO
PLAY MILE, LENCLEN
IN FINALS TODAY

Wimbledon. July 7.-(By A. Ply
With Molla Bjurstedt Mallory's con-
vncing victory over Mrs. Beamish of
England today and Mile. Suzanne
Lenglen having triumphed over Mrs.
Peacock, the center court at Wimble-
don is ready for tomorrow's dramat-
ic occasion when the American and
French tennis stars will meet to de-
eide the womans tennis Champion
ship of the world
Both Mrs. Mallory and Mile Leng-
len came through today's semi finals
with decisive scores, the American
defeating her opponent CO, GO, and
the French woman winning by GA,
6-1.
TomOrrOw's meeting is looked upon
as decidedly suspicious one as,
apart from interest in the match it
self, it is the first time that America
has sent woman player since the
war who has succeeded in reaching
the final at Wimbledon and this re-
suit IT is pointed out, fully proves
the claims repeatedly made in the
past months tournaments that Mrs
Mallory this year has been showing
a form ahead of anything seen in
England on her previous visits.
Mile Lenglen's play in the tourna-
mcnt and. her match today has been
source of wonder to those who
witnessed the tournament play.
When it was suggested to her to-
day that in the past three days she
has been playing the greatest game
IN her career. she smiled and, appar-
entity much pleased, said YES,
think you are right that my play is
OF q better standard than ever be-
fore. but nowadays am not so strong
physically l have to be careful |
cannot run so much
Mrs. Mallory appeared to play an
inspired game today. She was almost
faultless against Mrs Beamish; her
control of the ball was amazing. She
often has revealed an instability in
returning the ball on the back hand.
but today it might have been her
stronger side. Ball after ball she
hit with perfect control and fine
speed to within inches of Mrs.
Beamish's left side line In a rallv
she would send over a continuous
stream to this sport, then having got
Mrs. Beamish we'll displaced out of
the court, would shoot a forehand
winner across to the opposite cor
ner leaving the English woman yards
away from the ball. The spectators
were amazed. On all sides was
heard the same remark:
Il thought Mrs. Mallory didn't have
back hand return"
The plays of Mrs. Peacock in her
match with Mile. Lenglen aroused
the greatest enthusiasm. Her back
hand drive was frequently a forcing
ball and she scored winners into Mile.
Lenglen's forehand corner. OFTEN
the English woman's drives were so
hard and so accurately placed to her
opponents backhand on the baseline
that the French woman was thrown
back off her balance and failed to
return the ball into the court.
Mrs. Mallory was a most atten-
tive spectator of this match. From
the competitors stand she watched
every ball with the kccncst interest,
but made no comment
Saturdays program will open with
the mems doubles Then will come
the semi finals match between j. o.
Anderson and Gerald l.. Patterson, to
be followed by the Lenglen- Mallory
match.

BLAME TOWER
MAN FOR WRECK
IN NEW JERSEY

Camden. n. j., July 7.-Responsibil-
ity for the wreck of the "Mldnlght
FLYER" on the Philadelphia and Read
ing Railway Sunday night at Winslow
Junction, in which seven met death,
today was placed upon John DeWalt,
the Winslow tower man, and Walter
Wescott, the engineer, by representa-
tives of four agencies investigating
the wreck. Wescott was killed in the
accident. The investigation was con-
Guided tonight after the representa-
tives had visited the scene of the dis
aster.
The reports to be submitted by the
Investigators, was said, Will lay re-
sponsibility upon DeWalte for not re-
porting properly the empty train pre-
ceding the express, and for not avail
ing himself of the means of Identify
ing the train, although the investiga-
tors conceded that bad weathre made
identification difficult.
The report will state that Wescott
passed signals set against him, and
the investigators feel that something
must have happened to him prior to
reaching the junction that caused him
to ignore the warning.
The Camden dispatchers office was
exoneratcd of blame attached to it
by DeWalt who claimed that he had
not been informed of the approach of
the empty train.
According to DeWalt's story. he
opened the switch on the Atlantic
City main line to the Cape May move
ment for a freight train after the en-
PITY train which he thought was the
express, had passed
The signal was set against the flyer
but took the junction at full speed,
ran into the switch and hurtled down
an embankmcnt.
