WIMBLEDON, England, July 5 (By
The Associated Press) Mrs. Molla
3iurstedt Mallory has won her way
:, the semi-fnals of the women's sim
!es In the Grass Court tennis cham
Zip. She defeated Mrs II. Edginton,
{: England, to-day, Go, Cd, or a
,dden court, which became extremely
f.uddy as the play progressed. This
ctory brings Mrs. Mallory one step
q iarer her longedfor match with the
title French worlds champion, Su-
anne Lenglen.
Mile. Lenglen by her defeat Of Miss
lizabeth Ryan or Tuesday had al
,ady qualified for the semi-hnals and
aerefere did not participate in to-
ay's matches. But she was on the
round. watching every movement of
asr American rival
Mrs. Edginton, Mrs. Mallory's oppo-
'ent to-day, is tall and slim and plays
rsther an old-fashioned, underhand
liced. shot, with which she is ex
remely accurate. She is considered
misses q returnable ball, so that the
American champion is considered to
have done most creditable work in not
conceding more games. She won with
something in hand at all times, but
made several errors in the second set,
which, however, were hardly to be
welded because of the bad condition
If the court.
Big Test Comes To-day
Mrs. Mallory has reached the semi
finals without losing a single set, and,
N doing so, has defeated Mrs. Keays,
Mrs. Hullick, Mrs. Parton and Mrs.
Edginton. But tomorrow she is to
meet Mrs. Beamish, and this will be
he great test, concerning which critics
are open minded.
Mrs. Beamish has already won over
the American on two occasions, but
has also been defeated by her. In the
Roehampton tournament Mrs. Mallory,
after having won the first set from
Mrs. Beamish in the finals on June "a,
by 8 score Of 81, appeared to let
down in her play, and lost the match
in the next two sets. Previously she
had shown herself much superior to
the English star. Therefore the out
come of the contest in the present
tournament between these two women
is being looked forward to with the
greatest interest.
finals has defeated Mrs. NJ f. Ellis,
Miss Evelyn Colyer, Miss Kathleen Nc
Kane and Miss Elizabeth Ryan, all
sterling players, and her victories have
been impressive. There is no question
that up to the present she has been at
the top of her game.
Both women have many followers,
but the American is the popular
favorite. The French champion has
added considerably to her favor of late
because of the excellent game she
~.
!x'aIlory, according to the critics, has
1T displayed the steady improvement
Gxpected as she became more ac
snstomed to the English courts, the
climate, and more especially to the
lower bounding English ball.

Peacock, one Of England'a best play

tennis enthusiasts fear that she is

feated Miss Bransfeld. the Yorkshire
champion with ease, playing an excel
lent all-roun6 game, while Mrs. Beam
