INTEREST CENTERS
/. ON THE RUNNER UP
MoIIa Mallory or Helen
Jacobs Most Likely to
Reach Final.

BY the Associated Press.
"DSEST HILLS. N. Y. August 90
Although a day of rain has
postponed the decision for a
4 short time, two rounds of play
in the women's national Tennis
championship have been enough to con-
firm the pret0lrnament predictions that
the only question to be decided Is who
will oppose Helen Wills at various stages
of the tournament.
That Queen Helen" will repeat her
victory of last year is hardly open to
doubt. but whether the runner-up will
be Mrs Molla BjIrstedt Mallory. eight
times winner of the title. or Helen
Jacobs. second only to Miss Wills among
the California stars, or some unexpeet-
eddy brilliant player who can upset both
of these outstanding stars is an entire
ly different matter.
The problem OF her opponent in the
semi-finals also is unsettled. In the
second quarter of the draw Mrs. May
Sutton Bundy of Santa Monica, Calf,
and Mrs. Hazel HotchkiSs Wightman of
Boston, both champions when Miss
Wills was more, interested in the prob
lens that confront babies than those
that are found on the tennis courts. are
due to meet today in a match that is
expected to bring forth the semi-final
opponent of Queen Helen" But be-
fore either of them can attain that
bracket she must overcome some strong
opposition of the third ranking Cali
fornian, Edith Cross of San Francisco
who is picked as an almost certain win
ner over Mrs. B. F. Stem of New York
in today's match.
Mrs. Chaplin Strong Foe.
After what is expected to be an easy
victory over Mrs. L. A. Harper Of Los
Angeles today, Miss Wills first hard
match is due when she meets Mrs. A. II.
Chaplin of Springfield, Mass, in her
quarter final match. Clara Zhlke Of
Cincinnati is Mrs. Chapins opponent
today.
The battle for the second position In
the final bracket is expected to produce
only one match of Importance, the
meeting between Miss Jacobs and Mrs.
Lillian Scharman Hester of New York.
Although she is given only fourteenth
place in the national ranking, while
Miss Jacobs is fourth, Mrs. Hester al
ways is a dangerous opponent and If
she can keep her speed under control
she stands good chance of winning.
The match between Marjorie Morrill,
of Dedham, Mass, and Mrs. William
Endicott of Boston, who are ranked
close together. also promises to be close.
but the winner has only the prospect of
defeat at the hands of Mrs. Mallory In
the next round.
Virginia Hilleary Of Philadelphia is
not expected to extend Mrs. Mallory IN
,tCday's match. while Penelope Ander-
con of Richmond, another seeded star
is expected TO defeat Elsa Taubele of
New York without much difficulty.
