A mob of strike sympathizers here, including women, stormed the home Licupvich, who, with hin wife, were alleged to have work- ed tn the Pullman repair shops. Windows were broken and the couple were threatened with further violence unless they quit work. Sporadic rioting continued thruout | near Chicago shops. Police received frequent calls from widely separated quelling clashes, Altho several companies of na- tional guard troops were held under arms thruout Iilinois, there was no to move them Into the districts where clashes have been reported Early today a crowd of more than 100 strike sympathizers gathered the Baltimore & Ohio shops As cars carrying strilkebreakers leaving on the midnight shift at- tempted to pass, trolleys were pulled off and “spotters” pointed out the men who were working. ‘The crowd stormed the darkened cars and dragged the strikebreakers to the street, beating them.

Lenglen Defeat Molla Mallory Today WIMBLEDON, England, July 8.—Mile, Suzanne Leriglen, queen of the European tennis courts, extended her domain today to the whole world when she de- feated Mrs, Molla Mallory, the American champion, in the final round of the British national ten- nis championships. Playing the great brand of ten- nis which had gained her the name as the greatest of all wom- an players, the French girl won in straight sets by scores of 6- and 60. Fifteen thousand spectators, in- cluding King George and Queen Mary and other British royalty, saw a bat- tle for a world’s title that ranked with the most terrific fights ever staged in any line of sport. FRENCH GIRL STARTS GAME WITH RUSH The brilliant French girl started with a rush from the first to the last stroke and she had the American completely at her mercy. Twice in the first set the French girl faltered when she began to drive out of the courts, but she rallied and to a spectacular game which had the American at a disad- vantage. Recognizing that she was fighting for her reputation as a sportswoman, the French girl probably pictured the courts at Forest Hills last summer, when she was criticised for retiring in the American championships, and she went into the game today to show herself as a real, courageous player. The immense ‘crowd, which sat with a sepulehral silence all during the fight, gave vent to their enthusi- asm with a tremendous cheer. It wag | not that the American lacked friends, but it was a spontaneous recognition of the brilliant tennis that the French girl had played to win, MRS.
