Suzanne Len glen of Paris, France, holder of the worlds tennis championship. furnish ed a dramatic climax to the second round of the United States annual women's tennis championship tourna ment on the courts of the West Side Tennis Club here today.
 Mile. Lenglen tonight announced her withdrawal from participation in the doubles matches here She was scned- uled to play the first round doubles, paired with Mrs Mallory, but she tele- Eraphed the American champion that her illness would make it impossible.
 A. R. Dejoannis, vice president of the Frenci Lawn Tennis Federation, an- nouncsd that the French star had been told by her physicians to rest for at least a week He said he hoped Mile Ienrlen would recuperate sufficiently to make her contemplated tour of the coun- -v. and he indicaed that he felt she would be able 70 do SO.
 The French racquet wizard. after be- ing decisively defeated by a score of six games to two in her opening match against Mrs. Molla Bjurstedt Mallory. present American titleholder, collapsed in a chair alongside the referees stand and defaulted her match after losing the first two points oe the first game Of the second set.
 Mile Lenglen's sudden equalization to a renewal of her attack of bronchit- is and the powerful anG aggressive play of Mrs. Mallory, left a gallery of some eight thousand spectators stunned in- 10 absolute silence by the tradegy that took piece on the green turfed enclo- sure at their feet.
 The girl from Paris was undoubtedly the magnet which drew a majority of the spectators to the Forest Hills grounds.
 Today she fell from the pedestal of her particular game in a far more drama tic and decisive manner, per haps. than did Georges Carpenter on July .. Notwithstanding the known lack of practice due to her arrival in this country as late as Sunday, Suzanne was generally expected to give Mrs. Mallory a terrific battle.
 The pair came onto the turf a few minutes before five o'clock and after few minutes practice the match was underway.
 Mrs. Mallory won the first two games at point score Of four to two in a most convincing fashion. Mile. Len glen appeared to open her play in a slow and hesitating fashion which was remarked upon by those who have been fortunate enough to see her in action at home. In the third game she in- creased her speed, winning after deuce had been called twice, and it was theI that close observers noticed that she was beginning to cough. The fourtf game was quickly won by the Ameri- can championship holder while tht fifth went to Mile Lenglen after7on' deuce round. With the score three t' two games in her favor Mrs. MaTlor! quickly ran out the set winning th' last three games by point scores, O i-1. 5-3. Az for a total of 22 point to 24 and six games to two.
 The French woman opened Ihe sec ond set on her own trvice drivinl nut after a short raIlysend then dou 1le faulting.
