WIMBLEDON, England, July 3.-Out
there on the center court in the rainy,
cold weather to-day Mrs. Molla Blur
stedt Mallory of America gave a strik
ing demonstration of the reasons
which impel thousands here to favor
her over Nile Suzanne Lenglen of
France for the lawn tennis champion
ship of the world.
Clad in a rough brown jumper, with
a compelling smile framed by sturdy
features, the American title holder de-
lighted the onlookers with an exhibi
ton of the highest type of tennis ver-
satility. She defeated Mrs. Parton,
one of the top flight English players.
6-2, 6-1. and took her place among
the last eight
While Mrs. Mallory was continuing
on her way toward the final Mile. Leng-
len was not a whit less impressive in
her singles contest with Miss Evelyn
Colyer, young English expert who
has been called by some enthusiasts
"a second Lenglen." Handicapped no
little by the great expectations of her
adherents, Miss Colyer fell before the
superior game of the French star. and
it was relentless French girl who
triumphed. for she would not spare
the English girl even the crumb of
single game. 1t was 60. 60
The flashing Suzanne was victorious
in doubles. too. With Miss Elizabeth
Ryan of America as partner. the
French girl dashed hither and thither
and played her strokes with vigor and
verve. The French-Amercan duo dis
posed of Mrs. Edginton and Mrs. Ho-
garth. a well rated English pair. at

Heart Keeps Behaving
While La Belle Suzanne was cavort-
ing on the courts her father was watch
ing anxiously for signs of a return
of heart trouble. There were no such
signs and Pere Lenglen was highly
gratified. 1T looks as If my daughter
will be able to continue right through
the tournament. She seems to be feel

three years and perhaps when this is
over she will heed their advice. Ger
tainly she is much improved
There was tremendous interest In the
match between Mrs. Mallory and Mrs
Parton for some of the overenthusiastic
were under the impression that the Eng
lish standard bearer might work an up
set Mrs Parton was regarded as the
- a ming English nlaY-
ers She had defeated Mrs. Satterwaite,
but to-day she encountered an entirely
different class of tennis.
Mrs. Parton played gamely. She faced
tremendous odds with an admirable
smile and matchless grit. AS for Mrs.
Mallory, playing on the famed center
court for the first time. she was power
and grace and effectiveness all the way.
She made us sit up and take notice with
the smashing power of her placing
strokes. She forced us to take note of
her slashing backhand and compare 1t
with that of the French star.
Not "Just n Steady Player"
There were many who came to VIM
bedon to-day with the impression that
Mrs Mallory was just steady. accurate
player with no great versatility or highly
developed Sensational strokes" Mrs.
Parton perhaps was just the opponent to
enable Mrs. Mallory to show at her best.
She is big woman. without much speed.
and she made a great foil for the fast
American champion.
Mrs Parton hit hard and accurately,
but this served only 20 make your title
holders work all the more remarkable.
Her footwork astonished us. l have
noticed that Mrs. Mallory always Is at
her best when on the run. 1t Is for that
reason that ! believe she should give
Mile. Lenglen her hardest game. Mile.
Suzanne's chief assets are her power of
placing and like Mrs. Parton. she aims
for the lines. But La Belle Suzanne is
gifted with mobility. and that Mrs. Par
ton could not show to-day.
The eight surviving women are Mile.

England. Mrs. Peacock of India. Mrs.
Elliott OF South Africa. Mrs. Beamish
OF England, Mrs. Edginton of England
and Mrs. Mallory.
Anderson Beats Cochct.
In the mems singles, too. there are
only eight left. In the order in which
they will meet in the round before the
semi-final they are Randolph Lycett.

Campbell.
Anderson, the startling young man
from Australia. scored a fine victory
over Henri Cochet. the hope of France.
in straight sets at 6-3. 60. Ga. 1t

more impressive style than was that of
Patterson over Kingscote | think that
the chance of the title going TO Aus
tralia again is a very strong one. There
are four Englishmen In the upper half
and three Australians In the lower half,
along with an Englishman. I think that
tho Australian who Is left In his half
will dispose OF the surviving English
man without much trouble.
Anderson demolished Cochet. The
Australian refused to play into the
I-renchman's hands. as others had done.
Cochet plays his best game against
voleyer and takes the ball carly so
that an incoming opponent gets It at
his feet. Anderson remained at the
baseine and left Cochet few openings
for his passing shots. Cochet found HIM
