WIMBLEDON. England. July p
CBy a. P)-Mrs. Molla Rjurstedt
/ Mallory, who will leave England on
July u for the United States on the
steamer Homeric, is not all satisfied
with the outcome OF her contest
with Suzanne Lenglen for the ten
mis- championship. in which the
French champion demonstrated
quickly and In no doubtful fashion
her superiority over the American
champion. Speaking Of the match
today Mrs Mallory said:
II am sure I did not play one
third as well against Mile. Lenglen
as I played in New York. but she
played better against me than
have ever seen her play before.
She was heaps better than against
Miss McKane or Miss Ryan. 1t Is
when Mile. Lenglen has the upper
hand that she plays 20 well; II
would have been a different story
had l got the first two games.
But il could be seen how I was
playing when the Frenchwoman got
the first game by my beating my
self. in hitting out widely on the
first four shots. That Is not my
game. Many people tell me they
thought I was nervous because
seemed 10 them not 10 have the
same control over the~baIl as 1 had
against Mrs. Beamish the day be-
fore.
Not Nervous.
But Il was not nervousness.
simply felt from the beginning, even
when we were just knocking over
few balls, that I could not hit the
ball and was not on my game. Per
haps 1 was over anxious
Il do not think. however, that a
match of this importance should
have been put on at seven o'clock
in the evening after we had been
kept waiting about four hours and
were not even expecting TO have TO
play on Saturday at all. The light
was very bad, the sun was low down
in the eyes on one side and heavy
shadows were over parts Of the
court cast by the stands. am
not satisfied with the score and the
verdict and my chief anxiety now
is 10 play Mile. Lenglen again at
the earliest possible moment.
M suggestion is tina. she come
over to our national championships
in America to play, in the hope that
we meet again because now each OF
US has one victory on the grass 10
her credit.
sitting around waiting hour after
hour in the cold was no preparation
for this match. 1 do not consider
g..
have said so too. / thought the
great crowds Of English spectators
were perfectly fine. And I hoFe 10
come back again next year and
then 10 meet Lenglen gain. But
as the French Davis cup players are
going to America to play the Aus
tralians at Boston in August why
does Mile. Lenglen not come also.
Then we need not wait a full year
for another match. Ny one wish
IS that Mile Lenglen will take up
this expression Of my desires as
challenge"
Suzanne TO Rest.
Mile Lenglen declared Sunday
that she is returning 10 France i'm
mediately after the Wimbledon
tournament and viii go 10 Dieppe
for a few days rest. She said she
was feeling very jolly after her vic
tory Of Saturday and that it was
very good match indeed
Il had to keep all my strength
for this match" she went on, land
played very much better than I did
against Miss NcKane or Miss
Ryan, and so as I had been care
full I was perfectly we'll on Satur-
day and had all my strength
Il was not a bit nervous. Do you
think then that I looked like it?'
she queried with a gay laugh. II
assure you was not a bit nervous
at all and 7 hit much harder than
before. I think Miss McKane and
Miss Ryan the better players. don't
you ,"
After Dieppe, I go 10 Paris, then
west TO play in a little tournament
but I shall not play in big ones for
a little time so that may rest"
