Forest Hills, N. Y, Aug l7,-Th,
women's national tennis championship
had narrowed from an internationa
contest to a struggle between the east
and the west to-day, as the result OF
the elimination of Suzanne Lenglen
French champion, yesterday by Mrs
Molla Bjurstedt Mallory, the Ameri-
can titleholder.
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 An
geles and Miss Mary X. Browne of
Santa Monica, Cal, representing the
west.
Mile. Lenglen, who was picked by
most of the experts to add the Amer
lean title to her long list, defaulted to
Mrs. Mallory after the latter had won
the first set 60, and had captured
two games of the second set.
The French star who had been
coughing throughout the match, left
the court and informed the umpire that
she could not continue, as she could
not breathe. A recurrence of an at
tack of bronchitis, from which she
had suffered for several weeks, caused
Mile. Lenglen's downfall, her physi-
elan said later. She has been ordered
to remain in bed for several days, aft
err which she probably will resume her
schedule of exhibition matches for the
benefit of the American committee for
devastated Frances
Her hope of winning the champion

a set in two years of tournament play.

Yesterday. Hours before her time to
dance upon the courts came, she told
A. r. DeJoannis, vice president of the
French Lawn Tennis federation, who
accompanied her, that she was i'll and
should not play. But he insisted, ask
ing Suzanne not TO disappoint the
thought, and her ambition to win the
championship caused her to yield

mis- said.
From the start she was not as ad

no sweater when she skipped out to
