Mile LengIen DefauIted To Mrs. Mallory

assisted to the club house and short- 1 ly after to her private apartments in a nearby hotel while the official an- nouncement was made that she had defaulted her match with Mrs. Mallory and had withdrawn from the singles tournament.
 The physical collapse and withdrawal of the famous, European racquet w1eld- CT under the conditions and clrcum- stances left spectators both critical and uninitiated, in a most uncertain state of mind regarding Nile Lengien's ability at least on American courts. Judged entirely from her showing with Mrs. Mallory this afternoon, she was not the court phenomena which Am erican followers of the game had been led to expect. A comparison of the play as disclosed by stroke analysis show ed that Suzanne piled up an aston ishing number of nets and outs in contrast with the reputation which had preceded her here.
 She drove the ball out of court fif- teen times to Mrs. Mallory's ten, made five nets to her opponents seven and scored seven placement shots against
 the American titleholder's twelve. In
 both driving power, service and gen. eral court strategy she was inferior to Mrs. Mallory who, in addition to her muscular stroking of the ball raced around the court with a speed and ability far superior to that of the French girl Had the match Ion- tinued under the same form, there | would not have been the slightest doubt as to the outcome. A far more brilliant, skillful and interesting contest preceded the in ternational play in which Mrs. B. N. Cole of Boston defeated her townswo- man Miss Leslie Bancroft, 5-7, 9-7, S-6. This match in which all three sets went to deuce was probably one of the very best played Tn a woman's national tournament in recent years | and had whetted the spectators ap- petite for even greater flight of ten
 his when Mrs. Mallory and Mile. Lem sien succeeded the Bostontans.
 Long and bitterly fought rallies fol-. | lowed almost every service in which both Mrs. Coe and Miss Bancroft GOV
 cred their courts in d mauaer that
 would have done credit to top rankers
 in the mems lists
 In the other singles games of the | day both Miss Mary Browne, of Santa Monica, California, three times cham pion of the United States, and Mrs. | May Sutton Bundy of Los Angeles, who
 won in easy and impressive fashion. | These Pacific coast stars, who, with
 Mrs. Mallory were the outstanding
 hopes in the expected rush of the
 French player, are now expected to
 fight out among themselves the cham pionship of 1921
