feature 81 Mrs. Mallory's game. II
afways has. been impressives both
m executions Or her, strokes and IN
t6nrt covering. Her speed In cover
ing the court Is byword In tennis.
This. coupled with the fact thai
\ her powers OF endurance are ufl-
usual have helped to make her the
player she Is.
Mrs. MaIIOry's playing form
and her knowledge Of the game
(which makes her instantly re.
aDOnsive to the demands Of q
situation were displayed beauti-
fully when she defeated Mar.
i0rie Morrill, in the round be.

fiIl n one OF the younger
players whose game has Inn
proved tremendously In the last
wear and she Is now = formid.
, able opponent for anyone.
sThen add 10 all this Mrs. Nal.
} iefy's ever-present determination to
win, which was most impressive
ID this encounter.
TOne characteristic OF Mrs. Maj
1ory which never must be forgot
ten in any consideration OF her
tennis il the sporting instinct. She
ia a truly great sportsman. Never
ohce in her long career in tennis
has she been guilty OF single
bit OF unsportsfnanlike conduct in
any of the many matches in which
she has played. She always has
been willing to meet any player
upon any kind OF surface; wet %
. dry. Her habit of winning victories
nkyer prevented her from taking
an occasional defeat in perfect
sportsmanlike fashion.
Mrs. Mallory was q true cham.
plOn in every sense Of the word.
