Mrs. Mallory Not Satisfied
With Wimbledon Verdict And
Issues Challenge To Lenglen
Chief Anxiety Is to Play French
Woman Again at Earliest
Possible Moment.

WIMBLEDON, England, July g. -
Mrs. Molla Bjurstedt Mallory, who will
leave England on July II for the Unit
ed States on the steamship Homeric, is
! not at all satisfied with the outcome
of her contest with Suzanne Lenglen
for the tennis championship in which
the French champion demonstrated
quickly and in no doubtful fashion
her superiority over the American
champion. Speaking of the match to-
day Mrs. Mallory said:
L am sure I did not play one third
as we'll against Mile. Lenglen as I
played in New York, but she played
better against me than 1 hove ever
seen her play before. She was heaps
better than against Miss McKane or
Miss Ryan. It is when Mile. Lenglen
has the upper hand that she plays so
we'll; 1t would have been a different
story had got the first two games.
Not Her Game
But it could be seen how I was
playing when the French woman got
the first game by my beating myself,
in hitting out widely on the first four
shots. That is not my game. Many
people tell me they thought was
nervous because I seem to them not
to have the same control over the ball
as had against Mrs. Beamish the day
before.
But 1t was not nervousness. SIM
ply felt from the beginning even when
we were just knocking over a few
balls that I couldn't hit the ball, and
was not on my game. Perhaps I was
over anxious.
Shadows On Court
'T do not think, however, that a
match of this Importance should have
been put on at o'clock in the even
ing, after we had been kept waiting
about four hours and were not even
expecting TO have play on Saturday at
all. The lights were 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.
to play NIL Lenglen again at the
earliest ko-sio.e moment.
my question is that she come
over to our national championships
in America to play, in the hope that
us has one victory on the grass to
our credit.
Waited In Cold
| "Sitting around waiting hour after
! hour in the cold was no preparation
for this match. do not consider Sat
urday a fair test; many others have
said SO, too I thought the great crowds
/ of English spectators were perfectly
| fine. and I hope to come back again
/ next year and then to meet Mile. Len
| glen again. But as the French Davis
cup players are going to America to
NAV the Australians at Boston in
/ August, why does Mile Lenglen not
| come also? Then we need not wait
i a full wear for another match. My one
wish is that Mile Lenglen will take up
this expression of my desire as a
1 challenge.
Suzanne Happy
i Mile Lenglen declared today that she
is returning to France immediately
1 after the Wimbledon tournament and
will go to Dieppe for few days rest.
She said she was. feeling very jolly
after her victory of yesterday and that
it was a very good match indeed.
~ had to keep all my strength for
this match she went on. And l
/ played very much better than l did
/ against Miss McKane or Miss Ryan.
/ and so. as I had been careful, | was
nerfectIy well on Saturday and had
all my strength.
