ROYALTY SEES BATTLE King and Queen of England At tend Fight for Tennis Supremacy of World. WIMBLEDON, July 8. (By the Associated Press.) Suzanne Lems len, the marvelous French girl and holder of the world's tennis1 cham pionship for women, playing like one inspired, won a certain victory over the American champion, Mcs. Molla Bjurstedt Mallory, this after noon. She disposed of her opponent in two sets, the score being 6-2, 6-0. This was the event which the ten nis world had awaited with keenest interest ever since the match be tween these two rivals iir the United States last year, which came to a. sudden ending through the collapse of Mile. Lenglen. Great crowds packed every niche of the great cen ter court amphitheater; the gates to the enclosure had long since been shut and barred. The king and queen of England were there, the earl of Balfour himself an ardent exponent of the game; ex-King Manuel of Portugal; many lords and ladies and all the followers of tennis who could find their way to within sight ing distance of the courts. Match Is Great Magnet. Notwithstanding other contests promising royal sport, the Lenglen Mallory match was the great magnet that attracted and the struggle for which the thousands waited for hours in the rain. Outbursts of applause gave evi dence of the 'overwhelming par tiality for the American woman finalist, but the French girl had many supporters, who grew in num bers as she showed her mastery of the sport. She carried herself with a poise and confidence. There was no evidence of nervousness. She played not only with confidence, but with deliberation, and thus was able to find the weak spots in Mrs. Mallory's armor and take full ad vantage of them. More Expected of Enemy. After the easy maner in which Mrs. Mallory had disposed of Mrs. Beamish yesterday in the semi finals, it was expected that the American would make today's match a notable exhibition; it was thought that an anxious time was in store for Mile. Lenglen, and that even if ultimately Mrs. Mallory was beaten, the French champion would have full proof that she had been in a game. As it was, Mile. Lenglen was the winner from start to finish. . It is agreed that the American champion played excellent tennis and showed pluck and sportsman ship throughout, but so far as the contest today was concerned it is further agreed by the critics that she was outclassed. Her game would have disposed of any other of the speed of Mrs. Beamish, but with the French girl "she did not succeed even in getting under way. Enemies Face Smilingly. When the two faced each other across the net, which they did smilingly, the rain ceased. Mile. Le'nglen had the service in the first game and in this Mrs. Mallory failed to make a point. In three of the games of the first set the American player held the vantage point, but at these critical stages Suzanne surpassed herself. ' With remarkable generalship Mile. Lenglen controlled the posi tions of both players; she took no unnecessary risks, only thumping across hard shots when an ace point was required. After making a hole In her opponent's court, the French girl repeatedly sent over a drive which could not be reached. Some times Mrs. Mallory was brought to the net by a ball dropped pver'so close that she was unable to get back; then her opponent put across a clear winning pass. Wonderful Placements Made. At times Mrs. Mallory, too, made wonderful placements, occasionally ,' putting the ball beyond reach, but she could not keep the pace long enough. She hit bravely throughout but strategy told Those who expected some show of nerves on Suzanne's part, in view of her American experience, were disappointed for there was never a moment when she lost her self- control in any sense and she faced the critical gallery unflinchingly On the other hand, Mrs. Mallory showed considerable nervousness at times and misjudged shots which ordinarily would have given her no trouble whatever. The match was grimly business like, neither player evincing any emotion, annoyance - or distress. When it ended with only two games to' Mrs. Mallory's credit both smiled and conveyed the onlookers' verdict that the best woman had won. Mrs. Mallory Plucky. ; Mrs. Mallory continued to fight in plucky fashion after she had lost the f'rst sot, showing better tennis in the second, and smiled when they m showed a love set against her for the score hardly did her Justice. In the second set she reached deuce in most of the games, but when it came to a critical moment, Mile. Lenglen was unbeatable. Her de fense was impregnable except to a clean, winning stroko; she seldom netted or drove the ball out of "bounds so that her opponent was compelled always to take risks. The second game of the second set was the finest exhibition of all. The two played on even terms, reaching deuce. Then Suzanne came to the net, Mrs. Mallory drove hard to her opponent's left, the latter volleyed; Mrs. Mallory drove" again to the am epot and then a th'rd time. The French girl amid the first rous ing cheer she had received, aced her third volley to within inches of the base line. Later she got a great ovation when she killed off Mrs. Mallory's smash at the net. Victor Is Greeted. There was no attempt on the part of the spectators to shower personal congratulations on the w'nner. Among the first to greet her after she quit the court was Pat O'Hara Wood, her partner 'n the mixed dou- NOT ALL SEALS bles. Umpire Hillyard of the "Wim bledon club shook hands with both players. The victory of Gerald L. Patter son, the Australian star, over J. O. Anderson, was a praiseworthy come back in the face of an almost wholly Anderson gallery and after Patter son had lost two sets In the first three, rain stopped the contest after each had won a set and they were 2-all in the third. In the first set Patterson's hurricane services and swift volleying swept Anderson off his feflt. It went to 5-0, Anderson being simply unable to intercept many of the swift services and Pat terson also used effectively a chop Btroke with low bound to his op ponent's backhand. Finally the set closed 6-1, in Patterson's favor. In the second set Patterson foot faulted several times and dropped two service games. Anderson then improved, becoming much steadier off the ground. Patterson netted a lot of cut-shots and Anderson won out on the ninth game. The third set ran to 16 games. An derson again proving the victor. But from that on, Patterson, with his whirlwind service and terrific vol leying overwhelmed his opponent and finished the . match an easy victor.

O'CONNELL MAKES MISTAKE BY BEING SO CONTRARY All Week Voung Player Has Been in Bad Batting Slump and Has Been Riding Umpires- Jimmy Fired From Game Yesterday. BY L. H. GREGORY. YOUNG player like Jimmy O'Connell makes a mistake by being so crabby. All week " O'Connell, who has been in a bad batting slump, has been riding the umpires for every little thing. He 1 crabbed three minutes once because a third strike was called on him, and yesterday he talked so abusive ly to Umpire Reardon when called out at second trying to stretch a single that Reardon fired him from the game. O'Connell really Is a classy player and he ought to be smart enough to realize how that stuff gets him in bad and makes it just twice as hard for him to succeed. Naturally he is under a handicap from all the publicity about his sale to the New York Giants for . $75,000. But ,he doubles tlfe handicap by displays of temper when things go wrong. Willie Kamm, his youthful team mate, is handicapped just as much by the $100,000 talk in his 'case, yet after seeing him in action the fans like him and pull for him and want him to succeed because t he takes what comes like a gentleman Kamm is as simple and unaffected and unspoiled as if he were not touted as the greatest third sacker in baseball and the result Is that he looks even greater than he is touted.

I who won the singles championships, returned the Wilbur cup several weeks ago with regrets that he could not be here for this year's tournament. Snhr to Be on Deck. However, Herbert Suhr, who fought his way into the finals only to lose to Ingraham, will be on deck to try for the title. Suhr arrived here Friday accompanied by Richard Simon of San Francisco, another young net wizard. Suhr and Simon have been playing the northwest circuit, and so far so good. Their first competition was at Potlatch, Idaho, several weeks ago. Suhr won the men's singles, being required to defeat Simons in the finals to take it. The two men then paired and won the men's doubles. Suhr, teamed with Miss Eleanor Hislop of Spokane, won the mixed doubles. Suhr went through the field to the finals in the singles of the' In land Empire championship in Spo kane last week, only to lose then to P. S. Turenne. Suhr and Simon were not without honors, however, winning the doubles crown from Turenne and Armand Marian. Suhr and .

Bingham. Harry Grey, I. L. Webster, Milt Frohman, Ted Steffen and others. California and Washington as usual will be well represented. Besides Suhr from the Bear state there will be Simon, Bill. Whelan, Elmer Griffin, Bill Marcus and Van Dyke Johns, all excellent players of possible championship caliber. Although Suhr will not have Bettecs with him in the men's doubles, he will have in Simon formidable partner. Last year Suhr and ' Bettens defeated a pair of classy players in the finals when they won from Bill Ingraham of Rhode Island and Charles Stickney of California, Suhr and Bettens won into the finals by defeating Catlin Wolfard and Henry Stevens, 1-6, 6-0, 6-4, 6-2. , Ingraham and Stickney defeated Walter A. Goss and Ed Murphy in the other bracket of the semi-finals. Goss and Murphy put up a stubborn battle after los ing two straight sets, 6-1, 6-2. They took the third set 10-12, but were unable to stand up under the winners' smashing play and were 6-0 victims in the final and decid ing set. GIANTS HOLDING GROUND BATTLE .

Hoover, Who Takes Trophy to Dulutli. HENLEY ON THAMES, England, July 8. (By the Associated Press.) Rowing a stream-line racing shell of his own design over the famous Royal Regatta course in the face of a strong wind and a driving rain. Walter M. Hoover, the crack Ameri can sculler, outdistanced his oppo nent, J. Beresford Jr., of the Thames Rowing club, by nearly 50 yards to day and the Diamond Sculls trophy, blue ribbon trophy in the world of oarsmen, will follow Hoover to his native city, of Duluth. The time made by the American for the course of one mile, 554) yards, was 9 minutes 32 seconds, more than a minute longer than the Diamond Sculls record but Henley officials believe that Hoovet's sculling, un equaled on the Thames in many years, would have brought a record under normal weather conditions. They are anxious for the American to return to England in 1923 to de fend his trophy and try for a rec ord. Hoover announced himself will ing if he can make the necessary arrangements. Hoover rowed against one of the best English scullers. Beresford, descended from a family of oarsmen, having spent much of iis time since early boyhood in a shell on the Thames, under the guidance of his father, an oarsman of some repute in his day. The American went into the lead at the start and the Englishman was compelled to follow In his wake all the way. Leading by a length at the quarter, he steadily increased the distance separating him from Beresford. , The Englishman appeared to be greatly handicapped by the rough water and after Hoover started away from him he continued with a stroke of 32 for a time, in an effort to make up some of the distance but soon was obliged to reduce his pull to 23 to the minute. This he main tained to the finish with a steady loss of distance. "One of the finest exhibitions in the long history of the rowing classic," was the way English vet erans described Hoover's race, de claring the American the world's best sculler.
