Did Not Want to Play.
The French star did not want TO
play yesterday. Hours before her
time to dance upon the courts came
she told A. R. De JanniS. vice presi-
dent Of the French Lawn Tennis Fed
GRAFTON, who accompanied her, that
she was i'll and should not play. But
he insisted, asking Suzanne not to
disappoint the thousands who came to
see her. This thought, and her am
bition to win the championship, caused
her to yield against her expressed
wishes, Mr.. De Jannis said.
FROM the start she was not as ad-
vertised. In the first place. she wore
no sweater when she skipped out to
the court. Customarily. Suzanne wears
at least two or three of them. peeling
them on one by one as the play pro-
crosses. And all the heralded tor
nado-on-tiptoe stuff was absent. too.
Mademoiselle did not pirouette. She did
not leap high into the air in thrill
ing whirl to slash the ball back across
the net. She appeared bereft of all
the dazzling jumps from one end of
the court to the other. and the fiashy
smashing at the net. for which She is
famous. She remained at the base
line, running from one side to the
other, and, save occasionally. she re-
lied on conservative, graceful stroke
in all her returns. 1t was obvious
that she was not in her usual surpass-
ing form.
Mrs Mallory. on the other hand, ap-
peared at the peak of her game. She
was all over the court. banging her
racket against the ball with terrible
force.
Now East Against West.
The women's championship has mar
rowed from an international contest
to a struggle between the east and
| west, as a result of the elimination of
Mile. Lenglen.
Leading contenders for the title
now. in the eyes of the experts. are
Mrs. Mallory. representing the east
and Mrs. May Sutton Bundy of Los
Angeles. and Miss Mary X. Browne of
Santa Monica, Calf, representing the
west.
The following matches. were sched-
uled as features today:
| Mrs. Bundy VS.. Mrs. Edward Ray
mond.
Mrs. B. E. Cole vs. Miss Martha Bay
ard
Mrs. Mallory VS.. Miss Florence
Miss Phyllis Walsh VS.. Miss Helen
| Gilleaudeau.
Miss Browne VS.. Miss Edith Sigour-
ney.
Play Great Match.
| A skillful and interesting contest
yesterday was that in which Mrs. Cole
defeated Miss Leslie Bancroft. 81.
81. Sc. This match probably was
one of the very best played in a wom-
ans national tournament in recent
years.
Long and bitterly fought rallies fol-
lowed almost every service in which
| both Mrs. Cole and Miss Bancroft COW
| cred their courts in a manner that
would have done credit to top rank
ers in the mems list. At the end Of
! forty-two games there We're less than
a dozen points separating victor and
| vanquished.
| If any one distinctive stroke might
be selected as the winning one, it
| was Mrs. Coles deep driving to Miss
Bancroft's backhand at critical mo-
ments. These shots. which fell on the
| very base line. proved exceedingly
| difficult for the younger woman to
handle. errors and nets resulting.
