THE EVENING WORLD, FRIDAY, APRIL 21, 1922. ST _— 'PHNNY SHUGRUE IS LATEST SENSATION IN LIGHTWEIGHT RANKS ffs. Mallory to Sail May 16|Johnny Shugrue’s Defeat of Dundee Reveals Fighting Family’s Handicap or English Tennis Meet And Match With Lenglen Champion Anxious to Win World Trophy and pain Demonstrate Superiority Over Temperamental nch Marvel—Mrs. Mallory to Leave on Reliance With Hith Sigourney. Mrs. Mallory believes that tennis, unlike other sports, does not require those who are proficient in it to train steadily. Consequently she will not arrange a practice court for “limber- ing up’ while on the Reliance, but will depend upon her _ practice matches after reaching England for rounding into perfect form. It can be said with authority that she now believes herself to be in perfect phys- ical condition. Those acquainted with Mrs. Mal- lory’s dinner parties and her house- hold—inoluding Mr. Mallory, who is a broker—seldom hear her speak of tennis, ter returning from a visit to her home in Norway last year Mrs. Mallory told inquisitors the only mention of her prowess that her fam- ily made was: “We see you were beaten. You must be a punk player."* She has never taken a “lesson” and those who have importuned her to teach them have learned. that she annot teach. At least she tells them she cannot and refuses. She refrains from advising other players, novices or experts, and apparently takes small interest in their various feats and methods of performing. It is known that she appraises very low her own service, deeming it the poorest part of her game, but she has every confidence in her dazzling, hot-shotting" returtts and volleys. She has not attempted especially to improve her game this winter, indulg- ing in. comparatively small number ie ng the) cf indoor contests with friends who Mallory has declined to be]afe not rated extremely fine players. but to her friends, those who} Mrs. Mallory scorns her position as br as a temperamental fire-|20 athletic leader, refuses to moralize he has confided her earnest-Jon the benefits of the game, or on these ambitions, emphasizing|attaching a ‘woman's viewpoint” to plays because she loves the|!t- Her only comment is: “I play it hd hopes to demonstrate be-| because I like to play it."

This question was propounded among a coterie of mid-Western golfers during a discussion of the re- cent decision of the United States Golf Association to charge admission to its champlonship tournaments and the exhibition tours of leading pro- fessionals. ‘The majority of the golf- ers felt that there was little likelihood of such an eventuality, because of the nature of the game. Others held that, despite the fact spectators had to walk miles and fight for points of vantage to see the players, the mar- vellous growth of golf in America might lead to placing the game in the commercial class. Professionals of the highest type make large sums by playing for the edification of duffers throughout the country, and Joo Kirkwood, the Australian trick golfer, ig, sald to have earned a small fortune last year by exhibiting his wizardry. Privately owned golf links which are let out to all comers for a fee have proved successful, the Harlem Club In Chicago having made such a large profit that several similar en- terprises are under way. ‘The pro- moters feel that they can make as good returns on the investment as in Miibe 20048 * AI CITIO42, THAIAPHO 19% 4942, SHOGRUE WILLIE SHUOGROUE.

Attributes Annual Loss to Early Date and Sug- gests Change. NEW HAVEN, Conn, April 21 The Yale Nows, resuming publication after the Easter recess, yesterday ex~ pressed disapproval of carly season races such as were rowed last Satur- day at Philadelphia and in which Yale lost the three events, The News says: “As long as Yale continues to par- ticipate in premature dual meets with Pennsylvania the result Ls certain to be just what it has been four times in the past five years. While Penn- sylvanta trains intensively for the dual meet, the untversity must be leisurely, preparing for the Harvard race two months hence. If we are to meet Pennsylvania annually with a reason- able chance of escaping defeat, one of two changes are necessary—either a special crew must be trained for the early two-mile race or the date of the ment must be postponed. “An it is, the experience of being consistently beaten in the first race of the season is questionably profit- able and certainly unpleasant. By ad~ vancing the annual dual meet further along the schedule the management might at least eliminate the impos- sible.
