TENN|SLAURELS
SAFE FOR
AMERICA
English Women Able to Do
Little Playing in United
States.

Perhaps, after the crying Of
"wolf! America il not to lose one
of it's precious tennis titles. When
the English sent their team OF tennis
players to the United States there
were few followers of the game who
expected that the title held 50 long
by Mrs Molla Mallory would remain
in the country.
Mrs. Mallory had tried so often
abroad and with such little success
that 1t seemed the English would
have smooth sailing. But now the
title appears almost as safe as ever.
More than any other occurrence
has the victory of Miss Wills on the
first day OF the team match at Forest
Hills restored confidence. And, by
the same token, 1t was the defeat OF
Miss Wills at the hands Of Miss
Eleanor Goss a week or so ago that
destroyed confidence. Miss Wills,
until then had been looked to for per-
haps more than Mrs. Mallory had
been able to give. The two things
balanced up.
Certainly, If the Englishwomen
fail in their quest, there will be a
substantial backing to the argument
Of climatic differences. Mile. Suzanne
Lenglen, admittedly the greatest
player Of her sex in the world, came
once to this country and went down
to defeat before Mrs. Mallory. Mrs.
Mallory, Miss Leslie Bancroft and
other American women have gene
abroad and met with nothing but
defeat. And here come the Eng
lishwomen the same players
who have defeated Mrs. Mallory and
others in England-and they can do
little or nothing in America.
It seems to affect the women in a
worse fashion than it does the men
for the Davis Cup players Of the
world are not so visibly bothered.
Billy Johnston and Tilden went all
the way to Australia for the Davis
Cup and didn't lose a match, as they
brought It back again.

Picked to Reach Final
Rounds.
By DAVIS j. WALSH.

NEW YORK, Aug. 17.-Accord

meet West in spite Of Mr.. Kipling
for the American championship in
tennis singles in a final round
match between Mrs. Molla Mallory
champion, and slightly passe. and
Miss Helen Willis, challenger. and

little more than a child.
That much is popularity supposed
to be Sin the bag" The champion
must dispose Of Mrs. r. G. Clayton
OF England, and Helen Still has
Miss Eleanor Goss to reckon with
in the semi-finals today, but both
should win in a gallop.
The Goss entry has all the
strokes, including the most dazzling
service that ever a woman had, but
she lacks determination and a com.
petitor without determination is no
competitor at all. Barring the unfor-
seen, Little poker face" will sur.
vive the issue. perhaps without the
loss of q set.
Mrs. Mallory finished second to
Mrs. Clayton in England this year
but has already reversed this yer
dict twice, and in view Of the fact
that she is riding the crest of her
best game at the moment, seems
to have little to fear from the in
vader. So much for that.
A final round meeting between
Molla and Helen will be the second
in as many years and the moment
for which the so-called gallery has
been waiting since the opening OF
the tournament The east is not
behind it's champion, and would
cast huzzanas upon the random air
in the event of a Wills victory. -
The latter has a popular court
personality and the further appeal
Of an orthodox game. to say moth
ing of her extreme youth. Mrs
Mallory lacks these features, in
toto.
However, she is the most ac
curate woman playing the Amer1
can game today, her nerve Is armor
plated, and she covers ground In
the back court like a mortgage. BE
cause OF these advantages and be
cause Mallory is Mallory, many be
ueve that Helen Mills may be one
more year removed from her first
national championship.

Dempsey Is Heaviest
Money Maker Of
Champs

Jack Dempsey, the heavy
weight champion, has been the
greatest moray maker in the
history Of the ring. In four
fights he has received $676, 900
in purses alone. What Demp-
sey has received from motion
picture royalties and theatrical
engagements is not known, but
it is no small amount.
John L. Sullivan got only
$500 for fighting Tug Wilson
in the Garden. Wien Sullivan
was beaten by Corbctt the purse
was $25, 900 with q $4,000 side
bet. It was winner take all.
There were no guarantees in
those days. When Sullivan and
Charley Mitchell fought at
Chantilly the stake was $500.
The twenty-five-round fight be-
tween Corbett and Sharkey at
Coney Island attracted only .
$36,465 purse, which was divided
between the boxers. There was
only $16,5O0 for the fighters
when Fitzsimmons and Corbett
