Mrs. Maliory Starts 1? Former Queen of Courts Triumphs in 'Love' Sets Famous Norse Girl EL'minates Miss Katherine Cor nell by 6?0, 6?0 in First Round of Club Championship Tournrment at Heights Casino By Fred Hawthorne ... Mrs. Franklin I. Maliory, who, as Miss Molla Bjurstedt, heM prac tcftlly undisputed sway Over American lawn tennis from 1915 to 1918, ^egran her sixth season on the courts of this country yesterday in her ; -:.-..---?.-.! manner. In other words, the famous Norse girl won her' match from Miss Katherine Cornell, of Brook'yn, hy a score of 6?0, j 6?0 in the first round of the women's annual club championship tourney ! ..? ffco Ht?i<rrtt? Cnsino. .if Hrnnklvri It was unfortunatc, perhaps, for Mi?;< CotneH that she should be offered upi a$ the first sacrifice before the merci- j k$s pace set by the former national j troman ch-rnpion. She is a young and irsxperienced playcr. and everybody present at the courts yesterday took it fek' grarted that Mis. Mailory would make short work of the match, yet 1 dn not believe anybody there expected wch an overwhelming victory for "Marvelcus Molla." As was to have been expected, Miss .Cornell was p'ainly suffering from "stag<r fright" when she took the court, tnd she did not entirely recover her p-.ise until after it was all over, but she fought pluckily against hopeless odds. and never gave up trying for puints. Spced Decided Issue It was ?peed. speed speed. that Mrs. Malloly used from first point to last tnd th:3 excess of pace and hard hit tingr seemed to leave Miss Cornell in aj kind of bewilderment, as though she! hsd been unoxpectedly beset by a tor nado. The former national titleholde kept the bail always !ow, driving with tr-mendous pace otf fore and backh nd and occa sionally running in fre-m hei base line to take the bail on the fufl voitey and send it crashing hack int. the opposing court for p acement aces. Miss Corne 1 found the bail coming back at h r with such dizzy speed tha s'-e mas requent y eaught many fee* eut o; position, nnd it must have beer discournging to face the relentlcss at inck but ihe s'.uck to her task anr earned npplause from the ga.lrry (,c CftMOna'ly, md always from Mrs. Mal lory by brir.rring off surprisingly good shcts. This was.the only match p'ayed yes terday in the women's event, alth?ug three defaults'in the lirst nund filled out.tve i;cond round brackets. Mrs. Rawson L. Wood, former champion o Porda. wen from Mrs. De Forest Can dee, a former club c ampion, by the do fault route. and tl e oth^rs t-> advance in like m&nner were Mrs. Rob:rt Le Roy over Mrs. Spencer Fullerton Weaver, and Mrs. H.

Expect Final Wednesday The tournamer.t committee an T,o'unc',d that an attempt will be made *.o brirc the tottrney into the final rount! next Wednesday, with the flnal Fot' for next Sunday. The survivors in the nnner half of the draw nre Miss ETeanor tjoss. Mis.< Adel? Bull, Mrs. Wood and Mr--. Le Roy. In the lower oction are Mrs. M. D. Stra'flin Mrs. H. V. KaUcnborn Mrs. Mallo-y and | Mrs Theodore C. Cassebeer, and they will meet in the order named in the iiruggle to reach the semi-ftnal irackets. Only cne ma^ch was played in tho men'h C"a s A divisnn, Murray Ver ton defeating K. F. McVangb, at 6?3, 6?3, without nrac'i diffic.ilt;-.

The average age of abdication here is 35. If Jack Dempsey lasts until he is as o!d as Corbett, the young 2f,t champion to go, he will have an eight year reign from the date he dropped Willard.
