% Mrs. Mallory to Invade France for Second Tilt With Suzanne - fiu New York, Jan. 4.—Mrs. Molla Bjurstedt Mallory, national women’s tennis champion, has practically com pleted her plans. It was anounced to day, for departure early In February for France In quest of new court laurels, and Incidentally, another test of skill with Mile. Kuranne Lenglen, French holder of the International women’s title. By arriving In France about the middle of February, Mrs. Mallory would have time to acclimate herself before participating In the winter tournaments along the Riviera. Mile. 1,englen Is entered in the events. Aside from the possibility of another meeting between the queens of Amer ican and European courts, interest also is attached to the participation of Miss Elisabeth Ryan, California girl, who haa made her home In Eng land for several years and is ranked next to Mile. Lenglen by many foreign critics. Miss Ryan was to have play ed her French rival early in Feb i uary at Cannes, but, according to i cable dispatches, she has been obliged to withdraw because of a blistered hand. Mrs. Mallory's proposed winter cam palgn, critics believe, would heighten her chances of victory in the world's title event in the summer at Wimble don, where last year the American champion was defeated in the final round by Mile. Lenglen. 17 Holes in One Herd’s Record _ i London. Jan. 4—Alexander Herd, open champion in 1902, and still a re doubtable player, holed out in one yes terday for the 17th time in his golfing career, thereby setting a mark which experts ussert lias never been even approached by another golfer.

Harry Vardon, winner of six world's cham pionships, only once holed ids tee shot. “Sandy” Herd's 17th was achieved at the Coombe Hill links In Surrey, where 13 of his other similar shots have been made. He told a reporter for the Daily Mail that an American friend had promised to give him a sol id gold putter when he raised his rec ord to 20. “But l don't suppose I'll ever win It,” Herd added. Whenever a player holes out In one it is customary to give the caddy a bot tle of whisky and Herd obeyed the de cree of fashion. This moved the Mail's golf humorist to remark: “British golf is now so bad that thousands of caddies in this country are dying of thirst.” Huston Will Retain Interest in Yankees New York, Jan. 4.—Colonel T.

WHEN a famous oldtimer reads this ho will ride ferryboats to hounds in order to be in at the kill of the writer. He waa in the hi? leagues for many years. In ail that time he never took a shower bath. Naturally, the neighbor’s children got to talking. Why didn't the old boy sample the junior Niagara? They discovered he had a toupee, lie always bathed in the lintel bath tubs. lie was very touchy about that one-man ton. He liad his Scotch and soapsuds after each game, hut he took his bath in order that curfew and tlip old toupee would not wring tonight. After his big league minutes were over, he signed up as a conch. Among the young players the old boy chaperoned was Joe Gedeon, a baseball clown of many capers. Joe got the cornerstone informa tion on tiie toupee. One morning Hie oldtimer ate breakfast with his baseball rap on. I tinner also. Sup per too. His impolite business con tinued for three days without ex planation. Although he mailed no specifica tions, the whole camp soon knew there was something missing. His explanation about the meal helmet was that ho had a. cold In the head. His toupee had been kidnaped by dealers in human hair. Tlte senior partner of that firm was Joe Gedeon. Joe had decoyed the toupee from the t III homestead anil had nailed It over the door of the training quarters. Everybody knew where the old toop was except the frightful owner. Tliey let it stay over the door like a hows shoe. Meanwhile, the old boy scouted around and discovered his scalp hanging up like a turkey be fore the holiday s. He rescued hia top sirloin. When the boys started to salute the ton that night they discovered it was missing. Also the nail. As the oldtimer ate without his cap that evening, they figured he had the permanen. curia nailed on for keeps. He nevir cracked a complaint about the accident. Nobody evei questioned him. It was a delicate situation. Something like rowing a paper boat In a lake of blazing oil. Practice had gone on as usual dur Ing alterations. But the oldtimer never again allowed his wig to ever fall into the hands of a new man agement. It’s a good thing there is a con tinent between him and Joe Gedeon, or Joe would inherit a bruise for ev ery hair in the wig.

IiHappened_in Baseball President Comiskey of the Chicago White Sox, in the days when he was Charlie Comiskey the greatest first base man in big league baseball, also the greatest player-mu nnger, received from Chria Von de Ahe. his boss, the sum of 11.083.33 per month for managing, cap taining and playing first base for the St. Louis Browns, four times winner of the American association pennant. John IX Bush, in 1892, paid Comiskey con siderably more than that to pilot his Cincinnati team. ' Commy w'as about the j highest salaried player of those times. However, hla salary for one month j wouldn’t pay either Cobb, Speaker, Horns by or Ruth’s salary for one week. -- These days when a major league hurl- j er threatens to touch the 30 mark In j victories everyone Interested In baseball | begins to pull for that hurler for that 1 feat 1* a rarity these times In the olden days It was common Muff for hurler* to win 30 or more games In a season. This was because the hurlera of those times pitched more games per season, consequently, if they were oon a winning team, to win SO games wasn't considered much of a feat. Here is a case where in any period, It would be considered a remarkable feat In 1887. under the four- i strike rule and other heavy restrictions placed on the hurlors. Matty Kilrey pitch ing for the Baltimore club of the Amer- j lean asaoclation, then a major league. hurled 69 complete games winning 47, losing 20 and two bfing a tie. Kilrcy was a southpaw and this Is a record for nil left-handers In games won In a season. Of course. Kilrey's record was made under the 60-foot pitching distance. Frank Killen, famouus southpaw hurler of the Pittsburgh club in the 90s. held the record for games won by southpaws under the lengthened pitching distance or, since 1893. In that season Killen won 35 out of the 44 games he pitched. 8lnce 1811, or, a stretch of 51 years, among the National league hurlera who led in games won for a season, only five were left-handed. Charles B. (Lady) Baldwin, pitching for the Detroit club, then a member of the National league in 18S8, pitched 66 games, winning 44 of them, a percentage of 766. Frank Killen of the Pittsburgh club led the pitchers of the senior circuit in 1893 with a per centage In games won of .722 Eighteen seasons slipped by before another south paw led the old National in games won. •Rubfc" Marquard, in 1911, headed the list with a mark of .714 Ferdinand Schupp, a strictly left-handed person, hurling for the New York (Hants In 1917. led the hurlers of the Nations) in games won with a mark of .750. In 1919. "Dutch" Reuther, pitching for the Cincinnati Reds, was the premier hurler of the National leuguo for that clever left-hander won 19 out of the 25 games he pitched.
