SUNDAY MORNING, JULY 9. 1922. 1-B Suzanne Lenglen Retains World's Tennis Title by Defeating Mrs. Mallory French Cftamp Easy Winner by 6-2. 6-0 Scores American Champion Only Win Two Games From European Court Marvel. Wimbledon, July 8. (By A. F.) Mile. Suzanne Lcngien'of France to day uccessf.iliy defended her title a world'i woman tennii champion l defeating Mrs. Molla Bjurstedt Mallory, American champion, in the final round of the international grass court tennis tournament. The score was 6-2, 6-0. Mile. Lenglcn's victory came after a brief struggle marked by the cool ness by which the French champion played her game and the brilliancy of her all-around performance. Suzanne was a victor from the out set, taking the first set with com paratively little trouble, 6-2, and walking away from her American rival in the second set without allow ing her opponent a game. The French girl's display of super fine tennis in the second set trans formed a Mallory gallery into a Lenglen one and the winner got a deservedly great ovation for her won derful display of strokes and supreme control of her nerves. There was no sign throughout the match of any possibility of a sensa tion as a result of feeling on the part of either of the two players. The match lasted 29 minutes. The only games Mrs. Mallory got were the second in the first set, when she was serving, and the fifth, with her opponent serving. The battle at Wimbledon today for the women's tennis champion ship of the world which ended in victory for Mile. Suzanne Lenglen is the culmination of a three-year struggle for premier tennis honors between these two players, which in recent months developed into the keenest and most persona conflict ever witnessed in the history of women's sport competition. ' No amateur sport honor was jicver more eagerly sought or bitterly con tested for, and additional interest and atmosphere were added to the strug gle as a result of the unusual and dramatic climax to the meeting of these two players in the American championships last year when Mile. Lenglen defaulted to Mrs. Mallory because of illness after being defeat ed in the first set of the match, 6-2. 'Meeting of State League Is Called Lincoln, July 8. President C. J.

Ponder is ex pected to reach Los Angeles today from Salt Lake City where he has been in a hospital. Safe or Out, Q. Can amateurs coach the same as professionals? -. A. Yes. Perhaps It would be just as well ir tney did not always try to coach as some professionals do. Q. What does AB stai.d for In base ball, also -H'" A. The lrtt-ra "AB" stand for times at bat. It is tbe number of times in each game that the batter tries to advance the rnnnrr or get on base. "H" means bane- hit. BH.' also means the sams thing, and so does -in." Q. The batter hit the nail out of the lot and while he was running between third snd home a player of his own side took a bat and held it over the base line and the batter jumped over it. Did that put him out? A. No. However, it Is just as well to omit jinks of that kind. Q. Suppose a catcher intentionally drops a foul tip to prevent a runner from stealing a base. Does the runner get the base anyhow? A. No. It is not possible for the um- ilre to tell whether the ball is dmiped Dtentlonally or not. It would be going too far to give bim that authority. Q. Playing under an agrement third strike to be caught or not as out. Bases are filled and catcher drops third strike. Then he touches home plate tor forced out. A triple play was made, horns to third, third to second. Was it legsl? A. If tba role, had been changed for the parpasv of making freak patents it was certainly a legal play bvcaasa the katte aad U. tax, strifea.
