One major factor that gave impetus
to the "war board" decision was the
continued silence of Senator Penrose.
The Maor's advisers said they had rea
son to believe Senator Penrose would
Issue a statement last night calling on
his clans to crush the contractor or
rinlzation. The fact that next Tuesday is the
list day for filing nominating petitions
Bikes quick action on the puit of the
"war board" imperative.
The rumble of battle became plainer
today ns Vare workers circulated peti
tions for Judge Rogers as n candidate
for District Attorney to oppose District
i' Attorney Rotan. The Judge himself
raid the Vare workers' ictivltics were
"without his authority."
The petitions for Judge Rogers arc in
circulation In the Eighth Word. "Sen
ator Penrose's own." and the Thirtieth
and Forty-third Wards. Judge Rogers
it said to be willing to oppose Mr.
Rotan. One of the political weeklies next
Sunday will carry mi advert lenient
with a photograph, of Judge Rogers,
headed: "At the Public's Command."
It Is regarded ns certain that Maor
Moore and Senator Penrose will have
another conference bcrtirc (U full nnti
Yare program is agreed on.
Major Moore Is jubilant over the suc
cess which thus far has attended his
course of action.
"The Major." said lie. "Is of the
opinion that his main point, thnt of
checking the Vare advance, has been
accomplished."
The Mayor passed the night at the
home of his daughter. Mrs. II. Paul
Barnes, of Ambler. He laughed today
when asked if ho had met Senator Vare,
who lives In Ambler.

HIGH PRAISE FOR
Tennis Folk Laud Brilliant
Playing of American Champion
Against Mile. Lenglen
SUZANNE IS IMPROVING
B ROBERT W. MAXWELL
Sporiii Edltrr Erenlne Public I.rdBrr
Forest Hills. L. I., Aug. 17 From
tho conversation of th goodlv crowd of
spectators at the West Side Tennis Club
today one won d think the women's nn
tlonal tennis championship over and the
queen of the American courts crowned.
The dramatic ending of the match
vesterday was restaged in the Theatre of
Talk. On every hand one heard ex
pressions of sincere sympathy for Mile.
Lenglen. who was forced to default to
Mrs. Mnlla Rjurstedt Mallory after she
had lost the first set In the hi-torlc
contest, and yet nt the same instnnt
nraise for the American champion came
from every corner.
Mile. Suzanne unquestionably was
not able to rontlnup, and this was a
sevcie disappointment to the tennis folk
throughout the world, but this did not
detract 11 mite from the brlllinncv of
Mrs. Mallory's game. Tennis critics
were unanimous In the belief that our
defender wns at tho top of her game,
anil some go so far ns to state that no
woman could hnve mntched the caliber
of tennis displayed by the former Molla
Bjursfedt yesterday.
Mile Lenglen Is resting comfortably
today following the vio'ent coughing
spell which caused her to forfeit her
match.
The French meteor of the courts.
whoe unfortunate withdrawal from the
tournament caused bitter disappoint
ment throughout the country, believes
she will be able to play again nfter a
few davs" rest. P.v that time the na
tional tournev will be over and a new
champion crowned.
And while she is recuperating Mrs
Molla Bjurstrdt Mallory. who scored
the first victory over the foreign wizard,
will work her wav to tho finals, ex
peeling little opposition, now that the
hardest opponent has been conquered
Regardlcis of the fact that the Anicn
mii ihamplon won by forfeit, she
demonstrated her superiority in the first
set and the two opening games of thp
second. There wasn't the least doubt ns
to who was the better plajer.
Mile Lenglen was outclassed. Her
opponent plaved super-tennis, driving
botli bock nnd fore hand strokes across
the net with uncanny accuracy and
