MOLLA MALLORY
AND MRS. bUNDY,
CLASS OF PLAY
Fifty-Two Other Entrants in
Title Tourney Expected to
Have Little Chance to Win.
BY DAVIS J. WALSH.

FOREST HILLS, L. l.. Aug. IA
Fifty.four of the leading women ten
mis- players of the country are to
start in the national singles cham.
pionships on the courts OF the West
Side Tennis Club today, and, accord
ing to popular belief, fifty-two of
them might Just as we'll exit, laugh.
| ingly, at the earliest possible mo-
ment. Mrs. Molia Bjurstedt Mallory,
the champion. and Mrs. May sutton
Bundy, ex-champion, could then set.
tie the ultimate issue in a matter
OF hours instead OF days. as Will
probably be the case. 49,. ~s
The rock Of Gibraltar offers no
less an element of apparent uR-
certainty than does this champion,
ship meeting. Mrs. Mallory and
Mrs. Bundy. on opposite sides Of
the draw, seem destined to meet In
the final. Likewise. does ultimate
victory of Mrs. Mallory appear or
dained.
There is no international touch
such as Mile. Suzanne Lenglen !ent
the occasion last year. 1t Is just
a straightaway proposition in which
the bulk of the field will attempt
to make an impression on a human
cornerstone with the aid OF a
feather duster. Mrs. Mallory's
stamina, IL not her tennis ability,
is supreme in this country.
In the field today three women
stand a.one as having the game
/ to beat Mrs. Mallory. They are. In
the order of their Importance. Mrs.
Rundy. Miss Helen Wells, sixteen.
year-old California girl. and Mrs.
Marion Zinderstein Jessup, Of VIII
nhington, Del.
Mrs. Bundy, worlds champion in
1904, would have beaten Mrs. Ma
lory rather handily this day ten
years ago. She has already lost
three matches in succession to the
champion this season.
Miss Wells might very readily dis.
pose Of Mrs. Mallory a few years
hence. She cannot do so today. At
least she has failed within a matter
OF weeks. even after winning the
opening set from the former Nor
wegian.
Mrs. Jessup eliminated Mrs. NAL
lory I'm the semi.final round Of the
! championships three years ago. but
since then has failed to win another
or even a set from Molla.
The remaining contenders can be
dismissed in a brief word. They
are Miss Marguerite Davis, Of 81.
Paul. headIiner of the middle West;
Miss Leslie Bancroft, Miss Edith
Sigourney. and Mrs. Frank II. God
frey, of Boston; Mrs. Harry Blckle
of Toronto. the first player of the
Dominion, and Miss Martha Bayard

R0MMEL DUE
EVERY HONOR IN
BASEBALL CODE
Athletic Pitcher Proves He Is
One of Fighting Geniuses
Of Game.

You must stand at attention. salute
and give every possible acclaim to
Ed Rommel, master pitcher Of the
Athletics and one Of the flinging
geniuses Of the nation. It's a mighty
rare record for a pitcher to have
string of thirteen victories by the
middle of July when associated with
a team that happens to be low In the
percentage table.
Why is 1t that Rommel, surrounded
by a seventh or eighth place cast.
can bowl over the strongest teams
in the American League?
First Of all, he Is a ball player. II
takes the veteran to know what these
words mean when applied to a pitch.
er. It means that there Is nothing
forced or unnatural in Rommers
methods. He knows what to do and
does 1t. He has courage, skill. endur'
ance and, more than anything else,
brains.
Rommel works every batsman. He
pitches what they do not expect to
find. Again. he is probably the best
fielding pitcher in either league.
When Rommel pitches there are five
infielders In the game.
He is also far faster than the or.
dinary pitcher on the bases, and can
hold up his end with the stick. That
why Connie Mack and Dan Murphy
call him a ball player. They are pay.
ing the biggest possible flattery "
him by using the word.

BRAVESESCAPE
CR|T|C|SMFO
RECENT TRADE
Quite in Contrast to Storm Fol-
lowing yankee-Red Sox
Negotiations.

Boston has taken the sale OF Nc.
ouillan to the Giants quite philo'
sophically. There is no bitterness
toward George W. Grant for his
transactions with the Giants as
there is against F'razee for his whole
sale trading with the Yankees. Bos'
ton believes that Manager McGraw
paid 100000 for Mcouillan besides
the players involved.
II any further agitation was
needed to prompt the major leagues
to put an end to sales and whole
sale trades during the playing sea
son, this latest sale to the Giants
should furnish It.
Judge Lands has been silent on
the subject during the present sea
son. 1t is known, however, that he
does not approve of the practice.
For several years some Of the
more far-seeing club owners have
seen the danger of the practice, but
they have been in the minority, and
the ban has never been placed on
midseason sales.
The tail.end club owner has been
rs willing to sell as the prosperous
club owner has been to buy. Some
of the club owners have suggested
that all dickering for players be pro.
hibited after July !.
The agitation against the so-callcd
practice of buying" pennants, how
ever, has become SO pronounced thar
II would be better still II sales were
prohibited after June l.
The competition between the New
York clubs Is so keen that one tries
to outdo the other in strengthening
their teams. II Is a severe blow at
sportsmanship and is not fair to the
weaker clubs.
The commercial side of the game
has been emphasized so prominently
this summer that the sporting end
has been lost in the shuttle.
A real sporting proposition In pro-
fessional baseball would be for the
prosperous clubs to be stricken with
q philanthropic impulse and do
something Tor the tail-enders.

Officials of the United States Golf

known that the United States As.

the U. 8. A., Is not going to stand

Golf Is getting to be a tremendous
surprise. 1t Is a profitable business
