Wins HARD WON
TENNIS VICTORY

SEABRIGHT, N. j.. Aug. 6 H9 -
TireleSS tennis which wore away the
strength and stamina of an opponent
half her age today, carried Mrs. Molla
Mallory to a hard-Won victory over
the 18 year old Helen Jacobs of Cali
fornia in the final for Seabright wom-
ems singles bowl. Scores were 6-2,
| 1-6, 6-1.
In thrilling battle for the mems

Frank T. Hunter, Wimbledon cham
pions, downed Richard N Williams and
Lewis N. White, their rivals for the
Davis cup doubles assignment, by 5-4,
6-3, 3-6 ga.
From the start Mrs. Mallory had
her opponent on the run with whist
ling drives to the corners which forced
the little Californian to run for every
point and cover twice as much ground
as her adversary.
With members of the Davis cup Sc
! lection committee looking on, the
mems doubles final won by the battle
tried international team of Tilden and
Hunter was looked upon as an i'm

The Keyes girls had their twelfth
birthday party not very long ago-a
party with four cakes frosted in pink
and blue and green and yellow, four
blazing candles atop each cake, and
four girls as alike as the proverbial
peas in pod, blowing out the can
dies with one mighty puff.
Twelve years ago when a startled
father first beheld his four daughters
and frantically attempted to figure
out a way to tell them apart, he de-
cided that they must always be put to
bed or seated at table in the same
order, Roberta on the outside, then
Mona then Mary and then Leola.

country and it was not unt>l the
convention-long deadlocked over the
contending ndidates-decided to
turn to Senator Harding in the emer-
gency that the possibility vanished
for the nomination of the doctor
soldier statesman.
After Harding's election, the prob
lem of the Philippines presented itself
again for sC..ation, and it was to
General Wood that the president
, turned for help. In the meantime,
however, the officer had been honoreG
in striking fashion when the trustees
of the University of Pennsylvania
offered him the post OF provost Of
that institution and he decided to
accept. His decision meant either he
must resign from the army or defer
his acceptance until he was eligible
for retirement and after much de-.
liberation he decided upon the latter
course.
This meant delay of several
months, and during the interval he
was induced, with the acquieScence
OF the university authorities, to accept
the post of governor general of the
Philippines for one year. General
| Wood found much to do in the
islands, however, and announced
shortly after his arrival there that
his work could not be completed be-
fore the beginning of 1923 at the
earliest. Again the indulgence of the
university officials was sought and a
further extension of his leave from
the school was granted, extending
until such time as his insular dILies
could be concluded.
AS an author, General Wood mas
produced several books bearing upon
the army, among them being "The
Military Obligation of Citizenship, 9
Universal Military Training" and
Our Military History; It's Facts and
Fallacies." Throughout the 35 years
Of his military career he received
the honorary degree of LID. from
Harvard, Williams, University OF
Pennsylvania, University of Georgia,
University of the South, University
of Michigan, Union College, George
