MRS. MALLORY LACKS
FORM AND SPIRIT AND
is DEFEATED TWICE
Mile. Lenglen Pats 1t Over

Downgrade.

Monte Carlo, March 3.-Molla
Bjurstedt Mallory, American woman
tennis champion. twice met defeat
Friday and practically passed out Of
the picture in the Monte Carlo tourna-
ment
Paired with Miss HoActt, a YOUTH
full English player. who gave n very
good account of herself. Mrs. Mallory
met her old rivals, Mile. SuzaAfnt
Lenslen and Miss Elizabeth Ryan
the California girl. and the Franco
American pair quickly symothered the
American champion ana her young
partner in the womepis doubles, 60
81.
Earlier in the day. Mrs. Mallory
had been elimipated from the singles
competition by Mrs. .Satterwhite, Eng
land. 60. 81. Mrs. Mallory tool;
only three, games out of the fifteen
She was victorious, however. late
in the afternoon in the mixed doubles
with Wallis Meyers, winning from
Miss, Fowler and Mr.. Grieg of Eng
land. GA. Ga.
THE interest Of the day conferred in
The meeting of Lenglen and Mrs. Nal
10y as, although the match was in
doubles, it was expected to afford a
chance of comparing their respective
forms of play. All the tennis experts
agreed that Mrs. Mallory must inn
prove 80 per cent if she is to get q
chance TO meet : englen in the finals
Of the singles at Mentone next week.
Today the American players old
punch" seemed gone. her famous
forehand drive either landed in the
net or, clearing the net. went outside
the court. Her backhand stroke was
absolutely useless and Mrs Satter-
white. during the morning singles. as
well as Mile. Lenglen in the after
noon, kept the ball always far to Mrs.
Mallory's left, with the result that she
either Melted or hit far to the right
of the court
But most significant of all in the
defeats of Mrs. Mallory today was the
listless way in which she played this
afternoon. Her old never-say.,lie
spirit seemed lacking and this fact,
more than anything else. led the ex-
perts declare that there seemed a
possibility the present year might see
the passing of another champion.
Mile. Lenglen. on the other hand,
played with the utmost care. directing
most Of her shots at Mrs. Mallory. in
an evident effort to make the doubles
as much a singles competition as pos
siblc.
Mrs. Mallory in defeat has not
changed her plans. She still intends
to play in the Mentone and Nice
tournaments. respectively, March >
and March L. She has been insist
ing all along that is not bent on win
ming tournaments on the Riviera :
that she attaches no Importance
whatever to them, and that she is
playing merely for the fun of it.

CHARLEY HOLLOCHER
TAKES POINTERS NOW
FROM BOYHOOD IDOL
Bobby Wallace Coaches
Ardent Admirer of
Other Days.

Chicago, March 3.-The idol OF
Charley Hollocher, shortstoo Of the
Chicago Cubs, during his school days
in st. Louis was Bobby Wallace. There
were many afternoons when Hollocher
played hockey from school and climbed
the fences at Sportsman's Park to see
Wallace play shortstop with the St.
Louis Browns.
The scene changes TO the present
hour. Bob Wallace. the Browns
shortstopper during those days. now
will teach Hollocher tricks about the
shortstopping trade.
Wallace has been appointed as
sistant manager and coach of the
Cubs by Bill Killifer.
While there are mahy National
League fans who believe that Hol-
locher already knows all there is to
shOrtstopping, the Cubs infielder is
tickled to death that he is 1. scholar
in Wallaces school out at Pasadena,
Cal. during the spring training trip.
Don't think that l won't take ad-
vice from Wallace" Hollocher said.
L always marveled at the way he
could tag a runner sliding feet first
for the bag without havin, the spikes
touch his shoes.
IF ! can come close to equaling
Wallcce's record in the big league ]
will be satisfied"
Hollocher was born June II. 1879,
and made his professional debut in
1915 with the Keokuk club of the
Central Association. He was drafted
by Portland of the Pacific Coast
League the following spring but was
turned back as misfit when he
batted but 100 in IA games.
From Portland he drifted to Rock
Island and he improved so rapidly
that he was brought back by Port
land in 1917. And one more season
in the Pacific Coast League finished
Rim for the advance to the National
League

Swimmer Isn't Financial Promoter Because He Can Float Alon
Billy Evans Says

Charley White is the mystery mai
Of the ring.
No fighter in the history of the
sport has had a more cratic career
than the Chicago lightweight.
The possessor of a fine physique,
the ideal build for a fighter, packing
deadly punch in the left hand able
to take punishment and endowed
by nature with plenty Of courage
White has been the DR.. Jekyll and
Mr.. Hyde Of the ring.
No fighter has been more touted
as a championship possibility than
White. As featherweight he was
looked upon as champ. When he
outgrew that division without hav.
ing landed the title, the fistic ex.
perts Immediately began 10 hand over
to him the lightweight laurels.
Freddie Welsh was the holder OF
the lightweight title when White was
regarded at the top of his game.
Welsh. always clever. and great

as a knockout artist. White in
those days, as now. knocked EN-

1t was felt that the first time White
got into the same ring with Welsh
the title would change hands. White
was sure to wear Welsh down. and
then slip over the Knockout punch.
in the views of a majority of the fistiC
experts.
White got the big chance. in fact
couple of chances against Welsh,
but failed dismally to make good the
many big things that were predicted
for him. Welsh waltzed around White.
gently tapping him as he pleased. and
never gave White single opportunity
to put over the .sleepproducing wal
lop.
Benny Leonard won the title from
Welsh. In due fine White secured n
bout with Leopard. He was given
an outside chghce by the experts. At
one stage of the fight he had moro
than s~aiance-thc championship was
within his reach--but he let oppor-
unity slip away. A few rounds later

Having worked himself back into

the Japs would benefit by style Of

The Jap pitching was rather soft
for our team. Our aggregation was
n hard-hitting club. Assuming a
commanding lead in the opening in

away. Like the American fans, the
laps like TO see the ball travel. In
that respect we certainly gave them
their moneys worth.
On the whole, the Jap players are
rather weak on the fundamentals OF
the game.
When a batsman reaches first
base in safety, the big idea with the
Jap player is to get him to second,
from where he can score on a base
hit.
