out after short rally and then dou- ble faulting. At this point, she ap- ipeared to hesitate on the back line before taking her service position, and then walked slowly across the court to the referees stand She 1 sank into chair and after mo ment's indicision, Mrs. Mallory also walked to the rapidly increasing group, and a moment later was seen to shake Mile. Lenglen's hand per functorily and hurry across the turf Ito the clubhouse. For q moment there was apsolute silence in both the stands and on the clubhouse bal oony. Then hum of excitement and the murmuring of the word defadlt gave an inkling to the uninitiated as to what had happened.
 Forced to Leave
 Mile. Lenglen, with d towel held at her mouth and in violent spasm of coughing which caused the tears to roll down her face, was quickly assisted to the clubhouse, and shortly afterward to her private apartments 1 in a nearby hotel, while the official announcement was made that she Tad defaulted her match with Mrs. Nal lory and withdrawn from the singles tournament.
 A comparison of the play, as dis closed by the stroke analysis, showed that Suzanne piled up an astonishing number of nets and outs in contrast with the reputation which had pre- ceded her here.
 1 She drove the ball out of court 15 times to Mrs. Mallory's 10; made five nets, to her opponents seven, and scored seven placement shots against the American title holders 12. In both driving power. service and gen eral court strategy, she was inferior to Mrs. Mallory who. in addition to her muscular striking of the ball, raced around the court with speed and ability far superior to that of the French girl Had the match con tinued under the same playing form, there would not have been the slight est doubt as to the outcome.
 Lesser. But Brilliant A far more brilliant, skillful and interesting contest preceded the in ternational play in which Mrs. B. E. Cole of Boston defeated her towns woman. Miss Leslie Bancroft, 5-7, 9-7, S6. This match in which all three sets vents to deuce, was probably one of the very best played in woman's national tournament in re- cent years.
 l In the other singles games of the
 
 | Monica. Cal, three times champion of the United States, and Mrs. May Sut- I ton, Bundy of Los Angeles, won in easy and impressive fashion. I Late in the afternoon play was also l started in the woman's doubles cham 1 pionship, Nbut the first round was not 1 completed before darkness halted the i play.
 Announces Withdrawal I ] her withdrawal from participation I in the doubles match here. She was : scheduled to play the first round 1 doubles, paired with Mrs. Mallory,
 but she telegraphed the American champion that her illness would make | 1t impossible.
 A. R. DeJoanunis, vice president of ! the French Lawn Tennis Federation announced that the French star had ! been told by her physician to rest for at least week. He said he hoped Mile Lenglen would recuperate suffi- eiently to make her contemplated tour of the country and he indicated
 that he felt she would be able to do 1 so.

lIs udCIIuk percentage.
 Whitehill has developed into one or the foremost twlrlers in the league and ranks in the immediate vicinity of the top among other forksided companions His dependability in the pinches and all round consistency at all times has stamped him as one of the most promising young boxmen in the south.
 Wheeler Leading sIabmen
 Wheeler Is leading the local mound artists, having won eight encounters and checked up short only on one occasion His sole loss is a two-hit game against Atlanta in which his defense cracked and the rungetters refused to perform their duty. Floyds work from his first to last game so far, has demonstrated him as one of the most dependable men on the staff and 1t is an established fact that the opposition is bound to meet up with some heavy armfire whenever he Is on the hill.
 Vance annexed the season strike out record in his last game against the local wallopers, whiting IA bats men in nine mound sessions. He is bOluE GU lOP Spttb iipW ahN ShphaN make things hot for the Baron bat ters this afternoon. Phillips is lead r. ing the league in percentage. having only six games to his lost account. His showing this season has been a feature of the years play in the Dixie major.
 Today's games will be the last played by the New Orleans aggrega- tion at Redwood this year and with the feature of two games for the price of one, in addition to the prospect of two great contests and a farewell glance at the Pelicans, today's crowd should be one of the holiday species. The first game will be called at 2:15.
 Texas Gets Habit
 The disease of buying high class baseball talent his apparently spread from our own circuit to our lately elevated Texas league neighbors. Fort Worth, who is figured to have good chance at the Lone Star state flag announced the purchase of out fielder Stellbauer from the Nashville Vols yesterday. It was insinuated that the purchase was made through big league outfit but it all amounts to the same when the final tabula- tions are made.
 Tn outer gardener was clouting the ball barely below the 1850 mark at the tima-of his sale. and was large part of the punch of the pepless Vols. "Quack" Smith, local proxy who has shown marked disgust for the tal- ent purchasing spree lately inaugu- rated. has announced that he will go to the next league meeting prepared to fight for rule forbiddiHg the selling or purchasing of players after August 1. It is a rule which cer- talnly is needed in the Southern and in all probably will be adopted.

HERMAN A. METZ TRIES
TO GET GERMAN STOCK
Seeks $597, 900 Seized by
Alien Property Custodian.

Trial of the suit by Herman a. Metz
former member OF Congress and one
time City Comptroller. to compel Francis
p. Garvan Alien Property Custodian, 10
return almost 100000 worth of the cap
ital stock of dye and color concern
seized under the provisions of the trad
ing with the enemy act, was begun IN
the United States District Court yester-
day before Judge julius M. Mayer. The
stock was seized by A. Mitchell Palmer,
Mr. Caravans predecessor.
Mr.. Metz brought the suit as the
owner of shares of the stock OF the value
Of s597,o0O in the Farbwerke- Hoechst
Company a New York State corporation
formerly controlled by a German con-
cern engaged in the manufacture of dyes
and drugs near Frankfort. In opening
the case for Mr.. Metz his attorney, I.
Levy OF the firm of OGorman. Battle &
Vandtver, said that his client had nego.
tiated for the stock control ia 1908,
when no war was in prospect, and that
the transaction was consummated IN
good faith BY agreement with the for
eign concern Mr. Metz gave his promis-
sorry note for s597, 900, secured ythe 800
shares of stock. Then he and Frederick
w Hinrichs. an attorney Of So Wall
street. went to Canada and deposited
this collateral in the Royal Bank OF
Canada. where II was held subject to
the pleasure Of the German interests.
Finally it was seized by Mr.. Palmer, the
stock was voted and the Metz interests
were ousted and the company rcorgan-
lied.
william Travers Jerome. attorney for
Mr.. Garvan, told the court that he would
show that the deal was an effort to
evade probable prosecution under the
Sherman antitrust law. He declared
that the collateral was deposited in Can
ada because Mr.. Metz then a member Of
Congress, was fearful OF Federal prose
cution. and that the seeming transfer in
ownership to Mr.. Metz was made by the
corporation to erect a barrier against
such prosecution.
