MOLLA MALLORY
ELIMINATED IN
natl. TOURNEY

FOREST HILLS, N. Y, Aug. 26 F0
The dashing spirit Of youth held
sway in the national women's tennis
championships today, sweeping aside
the eight times champion and de-
tending titleholder, Mrs. Molla Blur
stedt Mallory, along with the last of
the American "old guards, Miss
Eleanor Cess.
Mrs. Mallory, the power OF her
strokes no longer sufficient to with
stand a youthful challenge, passed
unexpectedly from the tournament at
the hands CT Mrs. Charlotte Hosmer
Chaplin, fifth ranking American, by
scores of 6-3, 1-6, 6-4 Miss Goss
saw commanding lead in the second
set crllnlble before the brilliant at
tack of the 16 year old British girl,
Betty Nuthall, who raced to victory
at 3-6, 7-5, 6-2, and keep England
in the running.
California'S two Helens, 81 year old
Miss Wills and 18 year old Miss
Jacobs, were the other quarter final
victors, but there was wide differ
eEce in their triumphS. Miss Wills,
favorite to regain the title she had
from 1923 to 1925, swept on relent-
less, registering her fourth straight
victory at the expense of Miss Kea
Bouman, champion of Holland, '6-l,
6-2. Miss Jacobs did not strike her
stride until the last set as she took
the measure of Mrs. Edna Hauselt
Roeser, of New York, in 8-6, 6-l.
These victories put into tomorrow's
semi-finalS quartet averaging only
20 years Of age, the youngest group
that ever monopolized national
championship, with the 'baby' of
the British team and last foreign con-
tender, Miss Nuthall, arrayed against
three California girls, for Mrs. Chaplin
developed her game on the Pacific
coast before coming east to marry
and settle down at HyanniS, Mass
Mrs. Chaplin, the oldest of the four
at 25, will furnish the opposition for
Miss Nuthall, while the rival Helens
from Berkeley meet in the other
semi final match
On the strength of their play thus
far, Miss Wills and Mrs Chaplin arc
favored to reach the finals, which
will be played on Monday, but the
latter may find much keener opposi-
ton in Miss Nuthall, who has played
with the confidence of a veteran as
well as the dash of youth in her
first American invasion.

TWO YEAR OLD COLT

BOBBY JONES and CHICK EVANS
WILL FIGHT IT OUT FOR AMATEUR
GOLF CHAMPIONS CROWN TODAY

! MINNEAPOLIS Mimi, Aug. 26 N1
lobby Jones and Chick Evans, two
old men in golf-although Bobby is
much younger in years-will battle
tomorrow for the national amateur
golf championship. One viii WIN The
title for The third time, for both
have held il twice
Playing in the approved Jones
fashion, Bobby today turned back
Francis Ouinet II up and 10 to go,
shooting the 26 holes necessary to
insure his victory in 100 strokes, two
under par.
The Albanian finished the 10 holes
Of the morning round with a bril-
liant SO, his third round of the
championship under 70. He needed
only one stroke over par, but one
under fours IN the stretch Of eight
hole in the afternoon.
Chick Evans had a different story
to tell OF MS entrance into the finals.
The 38 year old Chicago player ran
into a large S0if mouthful in Roland
Mackenzie, Of Washington, who has
just passed his majority.
Chick had to sink a 20 foot putt at
the 37th hole to win after he mad
kept himself in the competition by
dropping difficult six footer at the
Seth, where his drive landed in rough
and his approach struck tree and
fell below the green.
Jones' all around performance dur
ing day in which he was four
under fours in his match and Chicks
sensational work at the close restored
the prestige of the championship
battle.
There was sentiment that the
championship might as well be wrap
ped up and delivered to the Albanian
to go along with his British open
title The rejuvenation of the vet.
eran Evans caused some revised cal
culationS TO be made Long discount
eel as a putter, even when he was
winning titles right anG le1t-and he
was amateur and open champion in
1926-Chick left something to be de-
sired in his putting today, until he
found he had to putt or be
eliminated. FEN
AS a result of its response to it's
masters touch today, the Evans
putter, a weird affair he calls "souri
dough-" took its place with Calamity
Jane" Bobby Jones' famous putter,
as one OF the NEST important i'm
plements of the game.

Second Guess Fails

0ONOAW OuCOS EdAAo
The second guess can very often
raise havoc with managerial stategy,
since so-called inside baseball is good
or bad according to the results at
tanned.
Injecting a pinch hitter into the
game, thereby causing the removal of
some pitcher who is going along well,
is one of the tough spots for man
ager, particularly if the succeeding
pitcher or pitchers fail to deliver.
Recently in looking over the major
league box scores, / noticed two such
happenings on the same day, one in
the American league, the other in the
National. In each instance, the man
ager played proper baseball but the
breaks went against him, making his
strategy look bad
1t is a baseball axiom that a team
cannot win a ball game no matter
how good the pitching unless there is
batting assistance. That is why a
manager often is forced, late in the
game, to reiAove a very effective
pitcher in an effort to start a batting
rally.

of its objective.
what often Hannens

In certain American league game
.of a recent date, the home pitcher,
despite a wild streak was getting
away in good sc.yles due to his ability
to pitch himself out of the. holes.
\ In the eighth inning of the game
with one down, the home pitcher
walked the next two men. He had
done the same thing twice earlier in
the game, but managed to keep the
opposition from scoring.
The score at the time was %, so
the manager of the home team decided
this was the spot. to yank the starting
pitcher, youngster. He sent his best
bet, veteran star, to the rescue. A
hit followed, scoring a run.
In the ninth inning, the visitors
staged rally that netted three runs
off the ace of the staff. This made
the score 6-2. In the last of the ninth,
the same team scored a run, making

Presidential Bait Becomes An Issue

With farm relief essential, with the Geneva arms
conference just going into action, with an election
only little more than year away with the Chinese
situation darkening, with Nicaragua, Tacna AFRICA
and Mexico all to be watched, with an extra session
OF Congress imperative it that there is enough
work in store for any number of able heads and un-
idle hands to take care of.
On top OF all these things, however President Cool
idge has seen fit to thrust one more issue thereby
making the situation pregnant indeed. This is his
stern utimatum to catch South Dakota trout with
worms Ignoring the proper artificial flies, he has
waded into the trout streams with an agenda of
angeworms, and has proceeded to catch fish, Sena-
tors Borah and Reed, quick to check the Admnistra-
ton of any weakness have naturally risen to the oc-
casion and denounced this nefarious practice with
characteristic vigor.
The Presidents stubborn policy in this serious
matter is doubt dedicated by the soundest econ
omy, but in a situation of this kind with foreign dip
omats watching every move, the prestige of the
country is at stake. If the Coolidge movement for
third term is entirely exploded, it will doubt be
traced back to the one undipomatic move of the
Presidents whole political career-hs insistence on
worms for his fishhooks.

To the Editor:
In The Indianapolis Times of
Wednesday, June Is, 1927, there ap-
peared an article saying that the
trustees of the Knights of Amer
lean Professionalism had sued the
national officers for the receivership
of that organization and had asked
for 100000 Judgment.
This article was entirely miSlead-
ing and was not statement of fact.
Three years ago the Knights OF
American Professionalism organiza-
ton was forced to eliminate some
men for disloyalty toward the or
ganization in Muncie.
These men never followed the
constitution in appealing their case
to the national board of directors of
the knights of American Protes-
tantism. However, at each national
convention these same men go into
court here in Muncie and endeavor
to embarass the great great nation
al organization of the K. A. P. while
the delegates are here attending the
national convention.
The men bringing this suit are
not members and have not been
members for over two years, in this
organization. and they are not the
trustees of this national organiza-
ton and never have been.

that preceded the hurricane: with
the celebrity of its circular and pro-

The hurricane" described in this
quaint work was true tornado;
type of storm that is by no means

feature of the book is map show

the houses and woods destroyed,

ever published, so far as we know.
This is not, however, the earliest
book on tornadoes. Lamy in France

PEOPLES Primary Right

Compared to war, it makes little
difference who is President OF the
United States. Compared to war 1t
is no consequence whether we have
prohibition.
Compared to war. neither the
people nor Congress are deciding
anything that amounts to much.
Compared to war, the decisions
we are now allowed to make at the
ballot boxes seem weak and futile.
Indeed war determines whether
our peaceful pursuits, our political
efforts, our industrial achievements
mean anything.
War has destroyed the labor Of a
hundred generations in a decade:
has wiped out the hopes. ideals and
aspirations of an age, has obliterated
not only empires, but whole civiliza-

If the people have the right 10
establish and run governments, they
have Alright to say whether govern

by Dexter NJ. Keezer

A lawyer suggested that his client, who was in
good health should pretend to be Ill in order to get
a postponement of case. The client did not act
on the advice the lawyer continued to represent him,
the case was tried and won. Later the lawyer
brought suit to collect attorneys fees. The client
refused to pay on the ground that the lawyer had
been guilty OF bad faith and unprofessonal conduct
The lawyer contended that his advice about the pre-
tended illness had not actually been followed that he
had continued to devote his time to the that he
had been successful and that he should be paid.
HOW WOULD YOU DECIDE THIS CASE?
The actual decision: The Supreme Court of Penn
sylvania decided that the lawyer not entitled to
his fee because of his unprofessiona conduct even
though he had continued to work on the after
