MOUA MALLORY AGAIN CHAMPION Court-worn Veteran Beats Elizabeth Ryan in National Tennis Play New York, Aug. 24. —(United Press Once again Molla Mallory is the •‘American girl" and not the "Norse woman.” When the court-worn veteran left the courts yesfter<|ay aftjer beaiNftg Elizabeth Ryan and becoming the national champion for the seventh time, sne jump'd up and dow’n like a child with a new doll and gave the crowd the widest smile she ever has shown. She had reason to be proud of a 4-6, 6-4 and 9-7 victory but —behind Iter smile and her display of happiness is a story of the hardest fight an athlete ever made to come back. Mrs. Mallory basked in the light of a national idol until after seven hard and unsuccessful campaigns she began to slip. Then her court conquests were buried from public notice. She was hurt in 1920 when the American Olympic committee would not fight for a suspension of international rules that would permit her to play with the American team. Th° United States officials said she was not an American girl and that she would have to play for Norway as a Norsewoman. She was hurt even more this year when she was not named on tbe woman’s tennis team that played in the Wightman cup matches. She went to Europe, as the association puts ft. "unofficially" and she played at Wimbledon as Chick Evans did in the amateur golf championship at Muirfield—an American, yes. but an outsider. < Just a few minutes after she had won the championship at Forest Hills, she remarked —"I’m the American girl again.” The display of courage and determination that Mrs. Mallory made in winning the third and deciding set after Miss Ryan had smashed awav to a lead of four-love in games was as magnificent as anything ever seen on any field of sport. — -o • ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ ♦ WATCHING THE SCOREBOARD ♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦**♦*♦♦♦♦ Yesterday's Hero: Urban Shocker, New York Yank pitcher, who was a little bit better that Emil “Dutch" Levsen, young Cleveland hurley.

Using a wild pitch by Marberry and Senator errors as a wedge the St. Louis Browns pried loose from a 4-4 tie in the eighth and beat Washington. 8-4. The St. Louis Cardinals rested in the first place in the National League by a single point as a result of yesterday's games. The Cards were prevented from playing by rain, while the former leading Pirates split a double header with the Brooklyn Robins. Brooklyn, using the former Pirate Captain Max Cary in center field, won the first 7-3 and without him lost the setond 10 to 2. By clustering hits in the third and fourth innings, the Pliilladelphia Athletics beat the Chicago Wlhte Sox, 4-1. —————lo LOCAL GIRLS TO ENTER CONVENT Misses Catherine Eiling and Mary Lengrich to Study at Fond Du Lac t Miss Catherine Eiting, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ben Eiting. and Miss Mary Lengerich, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Lengerich, of southwest of the city, left today for Fond Du Lac, Wis„ where they will enter the Convent of the Sisters of St. Agr.es, and take up their studies, preparatory to joining the order.

One of theinteresting matches yesterday was that bet wen Dr. E. G. Covet dale and Dick Wertzberger, both doped to have a good chance to win the tourney.

When Nate Bolton, who for several years has been identified with con-' cert and musical work, decided toj form his own company, the Musical Chapins Revue, which Manager Williamson has booked for the Great ■ Northern Indiana Fair, Decatur, S’-pt 1 to 4, it was with the idea of producing something cut of the ordinary, and succeeded do well that others have copied this style of entertain-■ nient. In presenting the entertainment. they have tried to give short, snappy performances which would cover almost every kind of musical novelties, avoiding anything that' might tebd to offend either in word or action. As a result, they offer an unusual performance, clean, brightj wholesomer.and one that will, be remembered. p Miss Mary Hoover, lyric soprano,
