MRS. MALLORY
GOES DOWN TO
DEFEAT SMILING
BY MARY X. BROWNE
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent

FOREST HILLS, N. Y, Aug. 81.
There is always something sad in
the defeat of champion Of long
standing, because the tickle gallery
usually fa'ors the younger star to
down the veteran. They want var
iety. l believe there is nothing at
all personal in their partiality.
There is nothing for the defeated
champion to do tut grin and bear
it. Mrs. Mallory, seven times ma
tional champion, went down fight
ing and smiling before Mrs. C. II.
Chaplin in the national singles ten
mis- championships yesterday.
Mrs. Chaplin richly deserved her
victory. She played inspired tennis,
backed by determination and fight
ing spirit she never showed before.
Charlotte $ lead of 5-2 in the de-
Gliding set did not seem insurmount-
able, for Molla has so often fought
back to victory. But the most she
could do was to gain back two
games only to lose the set and
match.
There were three deciding factors
in Molla 5 defeat. The outstanding
one was Mrs. Chaplin $ superb play.
Mrs. Chaplin has shown latent quail
ties Of champion in the last two
days of play. She has steaaied
down, and she has learned to fight.
Too, she has gained self confidence.
The second factor was Molla 3
mental attitude. She told me after
the match that she had been too
keen to win because she wanted a
return match with Betty Nuthall,
who defeated her at Wimbledon.
Then Molla wanted to go on and
pet a crack at Helen Wills. Molla's
being too keen to win meant merely
that she was too careful MOlla
cannot play safe, she must 90 for
her placements.
The third factor Molla probably
would not admit even to herself,
but / believe Molla is losing some
of her wonderful store of stamina.
Her shots lacked their usual sting.
She seemed tired at the end of long
rallies, unusual for MOlla.
i think and l say it with all rev
erence for marvellous athlete and
game sport, that Molla is
"through." 1t is incredible that
she can match strokes with the ris-
ing tide Of youthful talent.

CLIMAX NEAR in
CONFERENCE OF
SEVEN STATES
Arizona and California
Believed to Be Close to
Agreement.


DENVER, Aug. 27.-Climax of
the seven state Colorado Iiver con
ference came today.
Only two major points of differ
cnce were left between California
and Arizona, over distribution of
water and allocated them from the
Colorado. Delegates said both
states were closer together than
they have been for the last seven
years during which their dispute
has ragged with undiminishing Wig
or.
1t is highly probable, commissions
ers declared, that the two states
will agree before night, thus max
ing possible complete ratification Of
the Santa Fe compact Of one similar
to it for equitable distribution of
water to all seven states through
which the river and its tributaries
pass.
California has accepted five of
the proposals propounded by gov
ernors of the upper basin states as
basis for settlement between that
state and Arizona. Arizona also
accepted five. California placed
reservation on one proposal and re-
jected another. Arizona said one
was unnecessary and placed reserva-
tions on one.
Thus the only disputes that re-
main to be settled concern:
/. California 8 refusal to give
Arizona $4,000 acre feet of water
for Arizona Indian lands.
2. Distribution of tributary Wa
ter from Arizona streams.
Unless the deadlock between the
two states is broken today, indefi-
mite delav in compact proceedings
is probable, delegates predicted.
-Four Governors, Emerson, Of Wy
oming; Dillon, of New Mexico
Young of California and Balzar of
Nevada. announced they would
leave Denver late today regardless
of the river situation, because of
urgent business in their state CAPT
tolls.
If recess is declared. it was
said, a new conference will be call
ed in Salt Lake City, Utah, within
a month.
Governor Balzar, of Nevada,
threatened to inject the power ques-
tion into the conference unless Ari-
zona and California settle their dis
pute Immediately. It was believed
that such action might possibly dis
rupt the whole proceedings.
Governors Adams Of Colorado,
and Hunt. of Arizona, were en-
phatic in their statements that they
wanted "to finish this water ques-
ton right now. -

In the meantime Carter and See

small shack. located at 1873 CONNER

Kuma denied any relationship to
the shack in which the liquor was
