sPress) .-Anothe and even greater
}battle between Nile. sussnne Leng-
I fen and Mrs. Molla Mallory for the
worlds tennis championship prob
ably will be staged in the United
! States next summer.
While the French girl said she
would never play in America again,
! Allen Muir, manager OF the French
Davis Cup team. made the state
ment that she Is planning to come
, back next summer on an errand Of
vengeance.
II Suzanne does come back next
year che will no doubt make lot
of Americans eat the nasty things
they said a,out her when she re-
tired during her match with Mrs.
Mallory at Forest Hills last summer.
It's a cinch II the French star
comes back for the third meeting
with the American champion, con-
ditions will be more IN. her favor.
She will have the opportunity Of
acclirnating herself and getting into
good physical trim and she VIII
inaist on having somo voice in say
ing whether she Is in proper con
dition 20 play.
There Is no doubt that Suzanne
was not IN condition TO play last
summer and that she was forced to
go ont and play Mrs, Mallory when
she wasn't expecting 10 meet the
American champion until the next
day. Although she was in distress
she might have been able to finish
the next set and remove the doubts
. about her courage under fire.
Beyond all doubt. Nile. Lenglen
Is the most finished woman player
lin the world and she demonstrated
that beyond all doubts by the beat
ing that she gave Mrs. Mallory in
the recent British championships.
She further proved in that match
that she IS game and does not pos
sess the heart Of a gutter that
'many OF the American critics
charged.
/, It takes a game and able player
to tell in advance what poor player
another big champion Is and go out
and prove II. The French girl did
that very thing.
