LENGLEN PAID TRIBUTE
TO OPPONENTS PLAYING
Scores Were 6-2, 60 for
Victor; Mrs. Mallory Was
cheered by Big Crowd.

WIMBLEDON, Eng, july S.-(U.
P.)-tor the first time in history AM
erica had contestant in the tennis
finals here. Mrs. Molla Mallory, Am
erican wizard, met Mmle. Suzanne
Lehslen, European champion, for the
worlds title today. AImle Lenglen
was three to two favorite over the
American.
Both women We're given a great re-
ception when they came on the courts.
Fifteen thousand spectators, includ-
ing King George and Queen Mary,
We're in the stands. Playing great
brand of tennis which has earned her
the reputation as the greatest of all
women players, Lenglen took the first
game ON her own service. Mallory the
second game. The battle grew vicious
with spectacular tennis by both play
ers. Lenslen took the first set six
two. Changing courts, the French
girl extended herself and took every
game in the second set, although NAL
lory contested every point. The Am
erican was erratic, driving into the net
constantly. The Lenglen score in the
two sets, which earned her The worlds
title, was complete surprise. The
French girl had the American COM
pletely at her mercy in almost every
department Of the game. VIII
The immense crowd which sat with
a sepulchral silence all during the
fight, gave vent to its enthusiasm with
q tremendous cheer for the victor. II
was not that the American lacked
friends, but IL was spontaneous recog-
milton of the brilliant tennis the
French girl had played to win. Mrs
Mallory was given n cheer as she left
the courts for her game fight against
impossible odds. Never once did she
quit. At times she appeared tired and
but fought on, never fall
tering, and even when her opponent
smashed across the winning point her
arm muscles were taut and her jaw
set with determination. In state
ment to the United Press following
the match, Mile Lenelen paid tribute
TO Mrs. Mallory's game fight, and ex-
pressed her delight that she had been
able to defend her title.

CROP SPECIALIST WILL
Be HERE MONDAY FOR
SEED CERT|F|CAT|ON
All Farmers Wanting Fields
Inspected Should Notify
the County Agents Office.

e. l.. ,Jackman, farm crop extern
sion specialist of 0. A. C. will be
here Monday for grain and potato
certificatiOn work. Monday will be
spent going over the fields of Turkey
Red. Any farmers who desire to have
their fields inspected for the purpose
of selecting good seed for this fall
have been asked to notify the coun-
tiy agents office. All the variety
demonstrations will be inspected and
if they are sufficiently pure the seed
will be certified. This work has be-
come quite popular with the farmers
and has eXerted big influence III
standardizing varieties and securing
and promoting the culture of cleaner
fields.
Farmers who have especially clean
seed have been able to secure slight
premium through the certification
where a particular variety was in de-
mand. Last year 2400 acres of Tur-
key Red We're inspected and certi-
fled. $500 bushels of certified Tur-
key Red seed were used. Where GER
titled Turkey Red had been used, an
increased yield of nearly nine thou
sand buShelS was secured.
Eight hundred acres of jenkins
Club were certified with about fif-
teen thousand bushels used for seed.
The increased yield of the certified
Jenkins over the native variety was
-400 bushels. This year practically
all the Jenkins Club grown in the
county is being produced from the
increase from pure seed shipped in
two years ago. At Pilot Rock 230
acres of pure Bluestem were found
and certified. A total of 23O0 bush
els of this was used for seed.
Certified Hard Federation will be
in keen demand in the county here
after as the demonstrations have
Shown that it is better than any other
spring variety of grain now grown.
South and west of Pendleton Hard
Federation grown by Otto Reiman,
Ray Warren and Ralph Rees is out
yielding Early Baart, - Marquis or
Bluestem.
Special efforts will be made to To-
cate and certify fields of good clean
Hybrid in localities where other va
rieties are being grown. In view of
the fact that Turkey Red is showing
a big advantage over Hybrid south
and west OF Pendleton, a keen de-
mand for clean Turkey seed is ex
pected this fall.
North of Pendleton is one of the
largest standardized areasa of good
clean seed in the northwest and
there Is little need to certify the Hy
brid in that section. As there is al
ways some call, however. few fields
will he inspected. Last year certified
Hybrid was shipped into Sherman.
