to Meet Mile. LengLen
Draw Gives French Champion
Severe Test in Early Rounds
for Title.

I As luck would have II. an uneven di-
vision OF strength has resulted in the
draw for the women's national tennis
championship which starts next Monday
on the courts of the West Side Tennis
Club at Forest Hills. The usual blind
draw made yesterday at the ONCE OF
the United States Lawn Tennis Asso-
citation has placed all but one of the
title contenders in the lower half and
has grouped them so closely that at least
two must go out after the first round
OF play

emily is to be tested to the limit without
any delay at all. For her first match
she has drawn Miss Eleanor Goss, fifth

suit OF sensational victory over Miss
Mary X. Browne OF California. Directly
below this pair in the draw stand Mrs.
Molia Bjurstedt Mallory, national cham
pion. and Mrs. Marion Zinderstein Jes-
Sup. first and second respectively in ma

match Is to meet the winner Of the con-
test between Miss Goss and the won
