MOLLA MALLORY
BEATEN BY GIRL
OF l6 AT TENNIS

WIMBLEDON, England, June 23 An
Gloom thicker than London fog
settled over Americans at the fourth
days play in the Wimbledon tennis
tournament, though the American
players won four matches and lost only
one.
1t came about through the defeat OF
the once invincible Molla Mallory,
seven times American champion, by
Betty Nuthall, England's admirable ana
youthful performer Miss NdthaH,
16-year-old English school girl, struck
great blow for the younger tennis
generation when after a cleverly con-
Quoted uphill battle she Won from Mrs.
Mallory.
Miss Elizabeth Ryan, William t. Til
den and Francis T. Hunter proved the
American success in the singles, and
Miss Ryan and Miss Helen Wills the
victory in the Women'S singles. The
Americans did not show much rejoicing
over the victories of their compatriotS,
but they did display something more
than sorrow that Mrs. Mallory, one OF
their "big three" with some hope Of
winning the Wimbledon champion
ships, had been eliminated.
The schoolgirl Betty won the match
on her merits, outgeneraling and out
playing the American veteran. The
score was 2--S, 60, 60 in favor OF
the girl
Miss Elizabeth Ryan Was in her ele-
ment on the fast center court. Her
game was very effective against Mrs.
H. c. Broadbridge, whom she defeated,
6-2, 6-3. She used sliding chop
stroke, rushing up to the nee whenever
opportunity presented and Volleyed
with remarkable accuracy.
William r. Tilden, who is busy deny
ing rumorS that he will become pro
fesSional needed so minutes to reach
the fourth round in the singles. He
defeated G. T. Hughes in straight sets,
6-3, Cd, Go.
Hunter is likely to become the senior
member of our team" said Tilden,
when he heard Francis T. Hunter had
won from Arthur H. Love, an English
veteran, 6--2, ,8-6, 6--3, and reached
the fourth round.
Helen Wills, paired with Elizabeth
Ryan, added another victory in the
women's doubles. The americans de-
feated the English pair Mrs. Whitley
and Miss, WEIGH, 6-3, 6-2. Miss Wills
played with more spirit and apparent
enjoyment than She had previously
shown in the tournament.
The French stars, T.accste, Cocllet
and Borotra also passed the third
round safely, while Timmer, Of I1ol-

In coming into South Dakota, Gen.
Wood came back into his old battle
ground He entered army service in
the DakotaS as a surgeon shortly after
his graduation from Harvard and par
tiCipated in Indian campaigns here.
In 1920 South Dakota republicans
cast their primary election votes for
wood for the presidential nomination
in the Chicago convention and at
the same time voted for Mr. Coolidge
for vice president.
Tt was a busy day for President
Coolidge. He conferred this morning
with Representative Tilson and also
received an enlightening report OH
farm conditions and farm policies IN
this section from Representative
Winter, republican, Wyoming.
After he had conferred with the
president Mr.. Tilson repeated his
view stated last night that he could
see no real need for a special session
Of congress but that he was holding
his mind open on the question and
was willing to believe special session
desirable if only to expedite what
promises to be a large legislative
program.
Representative Winter told Mr..
Coolidge that the farmers of the
middle west were no longer insistent
upon passage of measure incor-
porating the features of a vetoed
McNary- Haugen bill. Legislation to
improve conditions under which CO.
operatives could function, Mr. Winter
said was, in his opinion, what the
farmers wanted and he held the view
that this could be accomplished
through "a modified farm relief BILL"
Or the Curtis Grips measure, which
was sidetracked in the last congress
by the stronger support for the Nc
Nary y-Haugen BILL,
There seems to be no necessity for
general revision of the tariff, the
house leader said, but he believes a
few details might be changed, in
Guiding upward revision of the tariff
on textiles.
The Ware and Smith election con-
tests in the senate may be disposed
OF quickly or take long time, Mr..
Tilson said, adding that 'it all ie-
pends on whether the senate will
talk or act.',
Reiterating what he said last NIGHT
at the state game lodge regarding
! a special session and a tax reduction,
I Mr.. Tilson cautioned that expenoi-
/ lures by the next congress would
! largely govern what can be done
along corporation and income tax
reduction lines.
Taxes should and will be reduced
! he declared, but the amount Of the
reduction depends on what is spent
| for other things.
"The tax reduction bill should be
! non partisan measure he said
! "We must handle it cautiously, realiz-
/ ing that we are on the crest OF
I prosperity. Z hope we will stay there
but we are not sure and any de-
/ preston would seriously affect OH
revenues
Both Representatives Tilson and
Winter professed great interest in
flood relief and control legislation
