MISS LENCLEN MODEST
AS TO TENNIS SUCCESS
Gives Credit to Father-Says She
Will Not Visit u. S. With
out Him Along.

Followers of tennis in America are
greatly interested in the plans OF
Miss Suzanne Lenglen, champion OF
Europe. to make a trip to this coun-
try next summer. The French girl
has declared that she is very anxious
to make the trip, but that she would
not think of coming without her
father. He confesses that he is in
fear of the ocean.
Miss Lenglen's visit is being urged
strongly in view of the fact that next
summer will see the Inauguration of
play for the Hazel Hotchkiss Wight
man cup-a trophy offered by the
present holder of the national title
for women's competition similar to
that which is held for the Davis cup.
If Miss Lenglen comes here she will
be accompanied not only by her father.
but by Andre Colbert, the greatest
tennis player France yet has devel-
oped.
Miss Lenglen, in a book she has
written on tennis. tells girl players
that If they desire to succeed with
their game they must play after the
manner of the leading man experts.
She says:
My favorite place is at the net, and
1 get there on the first chance. Tennis
would seldom be dull If girls learned
to volley. Nothing is more monoto-
nous than a girls double with all
four players sticking to the back OF
the court. Those who teach the young
tennis should insist on one player on
each side being up at the net"
Miss Lenglen denies that she has
had any professional coaching what
soever and gives credit for her rise
to her father and says:
Il started tennis at the age OF
eleven. Seeing my parents playing.

Roughing the forward passer was

Loses Il Base Hit.
Then came the trouble. The first
baseman called for the ball, and it was
thrown to him by the third baseman.
He touched the bag. and l was COM

Few people in the crowd had noticed
his failure to touch the bag, and there
was an awful howl from the stands.
as well as from the home team s
bench. The manager of the home team
was coaching at first. and knew the
bag had been missed, and consequent
1y did not protest against my decls-
ion. The runner also knew that ne
had missed the bag, and attempted no
defense of that point; although he ap-
peared to the crowd to be protesting
as he made his way toward me- The
following is what he had to say:
"ff you intended calling me out. why
didn't you call me out at third. and not
at first, because of my failure TO touch
that bag? Then 1 should have received
credit for a two-base hit; whereas all
! get now is time at bat"
Il called you safe at third because
you were safe, and out at first because
you were out. provided the first base
man claimed the technicality. 1t is my
business to give plays as L see them,
and not to make base hits for play
ers."
you're right. Bill: but I certainly
wanted that base hit. 1t would have
given me a clean record for the day,
and would have put me within SIX

Ruth Likes to Swing.
If there is one thing in the world
that Babe Ruth hates, it is to be call
ed out on a third strike. He is far
from delighted when he takes a
healthy swing at the third one and
misses but to have the umpire call
him out on third one at which he
does nothing more than look as IL
passes bv is entirely too much. ANY
time Ruth was put out OF game last
vears 1T was because he and the um-
pire-couldnt reach an agreement on

ESSEX Wins On Quality
Minus Useless Weight

Essex won recognition on the finest
quality without useless weight and size.
For that issue is uppermost today.
You will take pride in your Essex from
the first. It's smartness, its rich fittings
and finishing, its quiet luxury and superior
performance give it distinction every
where. And time and use will increase
your esteem and respect for it. You will
come to rely absolutely on its dependa
bility. You will expect and find it always
ready for any demands you may make.
These are the reasons why Essex set
worlds sales record in its first year. And
orders now are so far ahead it is certain
that even that unrivaled mark will be Sur
passed this year.
Thousands, realizing this, are placing
their orders now We advise that you do
likewise, else you may be disappointed in
delivery.

You will hardly dare use its over

1t means better, more durable, lasting

And Essex is easy to operate. Driving
does not fatigue. It's instant response to
the lightest touch and its smooth, restful
comfort in motion account for this.
That is another reason why so many

The most important thing that Essex
has proved is that weight and size are no
longer necessary to finest car quality.
All concede average ability in any
modern car
So it was to prove ability far beyond
what any light car ever has shown that
Essex made its famous endurance tests.
It's 3,O37 miles in 50 hours is worlds
endurance record The test was official.
Supervisors of the A. A. A. certified the
Essex stock chassis in every detail.
Such Endurance as You
Want in Your Car
Never before was a car driven at top
speed for so hours. The grind was more
severe than years of road use. Yet at the
end the Essex showed no measurable wear
What car, the Essex size and weight,
can even attain mile minute speed,
much less keep it up for 50 hours?
These results were decisive. They
proved Essex not only the supreme per-
former of the light car field. They showed
that with its advantages of moderate price
and economy it combines such endurance
and dependability as few large high priced
cars offer.
