MOLLA MALLORY
 LOSES MATCH IN MENTONE MEET

MENTONE, France, March 6.-(By Associated Press.)-All hope of d fourth meeting between Suzanne Lenglen and Mrs. Mallory went aglimmering today when the Amer ican champion was eliminated in the second round of the women's singles in the lawn tennis tourna- ment by Miss Cadle' of England. This was Mrs. Mallory's first ap- pearance in the singles in this series and the English representative de- feated her, so, 7-5.
 The American champion had no excuse for her defeat as she dis played about the poorest brand of tennis she has ever shown on the Riviera. Her loss today settled once and for all the question of suprem- acy between Mrs. Mallory and Lenglen, and if an American player Is to challenge Suzanne's right to the worlds tennis crown this year 1t will not be Mrs. Mallory.
 Numerous unkind souls in the stands asserted that Mrs. Mallory was not trying to win; that she preferred losing to an unknown player rather than possibly meet with crushing defeat at the hands of Lenglen next Thursday. But in justice to Mrs. Mallory the experts expressed the opinion that she did her best. but simply was not there
 Miss Cadle previously had never played in championship tennis tournament and tonight seemed ab- solutely overawed to be numbered among the few women players who have won matches from Mrs. Nal lory since she became champion The English girls style is very primitive

Workouts to Be Resumed Wednesday Morning, if Diamond Soaks Up Tues days Moisture

Less than "A hours after Mother Nature had smiled in her most ami able fashion on the opening of Baro- nial spring training, the venerable dame changed her mind with all the suddenness of her sex, and frowned her most scornful of frowns. As a result, the heavens opened up in tor trential fashion, and a deluse ap- preaching in intensity that of 40-day fame sent Boss Dunn and his spring pastimers scampering for the dug outs.
 Joe Dunn had led his athletes on the field shortly after Il o'clock Tuesday morning, and had been working out lightly only short time when clouds quickly darkened the skies. and the downpour began. Joe Dunn kept his boys hanging around while, hoping against hope that there would be iet-up. Final ly, after the rain had transformed the field into slushy marsh, and showed no signs of abating in its in tensity, Dunn turned 'em aloose, and the day was chalked up on the side of the ledger marked wasted"
 Monday morning, when spring training began, there were 16 mon in uniform at Redwood. Tuesday there were few more. and all day trains were being watched for new arrivals. Four men checked in Tues day morning and were on hand to witness the Noah Special at Rick wood. They were Plateau Cox, pitch or; Walter Stewart. southpaw pitch CT; Fletcher Hodge, brother of the famous Shovel" and Jake Miller, veteran outfielder.
 Joe Dunn stated Tuesday after noon that he expects 20 or 30 ball players to be on hand Wednesday when the workouts are resumed. provided weather permits. Several veterans have sent word along that they are on the way, and should ar rive in early trains today
 The jovial pilot of the Barons hasn't indicated yet whether there will be practice game Saturday or not. If weather permits work to be rushed the remainder of the week, 1t is highly probable that a Regular Yannigan battle of some sort will be staged.
 Billy West says that the schedule being arranged for the Yannigans is coming right along. In addition to the two battles with the Howard col lege nine, a game has been secured with the Standard Oil, City league team for March 19.
