The Mentone Tournament

Mrs. Molla Bjurstedt Mallory continued the losing streak which has dogged her steps through Europe, when, with Miss Blake as partner, she was defeated in the doubles semi-final by Mrs. Satterthwaite and Mrs. Beamish of England. Mile. Lenglen and Miss Elizabeth Ryan of California took the doubles championship.
The American indoor polo team retained the Townsend International Cup by virtue of three straight victories over the invading English.

At the annual meeting of the Football Rules Committee the onside kick was barred, owing to the difficulty of accurate ruling on it by the referee. Another minor change decreed time out during the try-for-point after a touchdown.
