TENNIS

New York, Aug. 14.-Fifty-four
fair tennis stars, including the best
Of the United States and Canada, will
open the battle for the American
championship this afternoon at Forest
Hills.
While the excitement that attended
the visit of Mile. Suzanne Lenglen last
year is missing, the field is one Of the
best and most representative that has
ever played for the title.
The east is represented by Mrs,
Molla Mallory, the reigning cham
pion, Miss Edith Sigourney. Mrs.
Marion Zinderstein, Jessup; Miss
Eleanor Goss and Miss Leslie Ban
croft.
Colors of the far east will be carried
by Mrs. Sutton Bundy, former cham
pion; Miss Helen Wills, the girl Won
der, and Mrs. William Henry. The
middle west is represented by Miss
Marguerite Davies, of st. Paul, and
the south by Mrs. w. f. Ellis.
Canada has two entries, Mrs.
Gladys G. Hutchins, the dominion
champion, and Mrs. Harry Bickle.
Barring one of those upsets that
| frequently knock tennis dope kicking,
Mrs. Molla Mallory is considered the
winner by comfortable margin. Since
returning from England where she
was badly beaten by Mile Lenglen, the
American champion has defeated with
ease all Of the rivals that were eX-
pected to give her a stiff fight Tor the
honors.
Mrs. Bundy, Miss Wills and Mrs.
Jessup are figuring now as the most
dangerous contenders, but they have
hardly more than a chance to give the
champion a little scare, in the opinion
of the critics.
Ideal weather prevailed today and
the courts of the Westside Tennis
Club were in perfect condition. Oil
Gals OF the tournament hope to get
two rounds played today that will
leave only sixteen survivors in the
play. IL is planned to start the dou-
bleS tomorrow so that the champion
ship can be completed next Saturday.
Players gathered for the tourna-
ment are talking Of starting petition
TO have the championships decided
later next year, the majority of the
women being in favor of a date after
She mems championships 50 as to give
them more time to get upon their game
by competition in earlier tournaments.
Chestnut Hills, Mass, Aug. Ia
With d two-one edge, the Australian
Davis cup team will face the French
team this afternoon in the two post
poned singles matches of the semi-fi-
nal round of cup play.
Gerald +. Patterson will play the
youthful Henri Cochet and Pat O'Hara
Wood will face Andre Colbert.
To win the semi-fnal round and
enter the final against Spain in Phila-
delphia next week, the Australians
have to win only one of the singles
matches this afternoon.

noon. During this time mass games,
boxing, wrestling. baseball, and
other games are played, with much
enthusiasm shown by those partic-
+ ipating, and those watching.
The evenings are devoted mostly
to recreation, although the Blue
students. the boys taking the COM
missoned officers course, are given
| one hours study each evening, eX-
cept Saturday and Sunday.
All is not work for the boys, not
bv long shot. Many dances are
planned. with Alexandria and
Z Washington bellies furnishing the
feminine enchantment of the even
inc. Motion picture shows, vaude-
vile shows, and numerous other en-
tertainments are also planned.
One of the big features Of the
training period will be the tactIca!
march TO Mount Vernon to be held
: this week. During this the boys vii!
carry cut o war problem laid
out for them, and upon arrival at
( Washington's home the winner Of

Weekend leave is given the boys

Lieutenant Moreland. Morale off
Ger OF the training camp, has IN
store a number of surprises for the
boys. which he will announce in the
near future. One of these, and one
which is likely to prove the biggest
feature of the METRE camp, is
Joint review planned for the stu
dents of the Humphreys and Meade
Camps to be staged in Washington
before President Harding. This IS
to be held sometime during the
last week of the camp, possibly on
August p.
Members Of the Washington Ro-
tary Cub are arranging for this
feature Of the camp, and plan to

while in Washington. In all there
will be approximately 400 in the
parade and review, which will fol-

Capitol to the White House.
The National Defense Society of
the United States has offered a
medal to the best red, or first year
man, and White, or second year
man, in each Of the several training
camps throughout the United
States. The medals are to be pre-
scented to the adjudged winners at
the end Of the camp at a general
review held for that purpose. Com
petition at Camp Humphreys for
these medals is unusually keen, Of
/ fcers in charge say, with the re-
suit that the work Of the boys is
especially good Unusual aptitude
for the work is being manifested in
every department Of the work, much
to the edification of the camp off
GERS.
When the camp is brought to a
close ON August rs, after 81 days
of hard work, 172 tanned young
men, greatly strengthened through
a vigorous outdoor life, will turn
their steps homeWard, proclaiming
the benefits derived from camp
life, and promising themselves that
they viii be back next wear That
is the word passed out by many of
those attending the camp, and is a
rejection Of the work done by the
officers Of the camp, who are strain
inc to do their very best that it may
be brought to a successful conclu-
sion.
