Heavy Rainfall
Prevents Tennis
Tourney Games
BY United Press Leased Wire

FOREST HILLS, N. Y, Aug. 26.
Heavy rainfall all during the
night and through the early morn
ing so drenched the courts of the
West Side tennis club that resump-
tion of play today in the national
tennis championships appeared i'm
possible.
Because of the unusually large
number of. entries and the interest
in the tournament, officials had
hoped for week without bad
weather postponement as the sport
calendar next week is choked with
other events. Many matches had
to be called off yesterday when Il
rain storm came.
The one great surprise came
however, when Richard Norris Will
liams, captain of the American
Olympic tenni steam and the third
ranking player of the United States
was defeated by George Lott, Jr.,
an Is year old Chicago boy who re-
Gently won the junior national
championship. Lott was an unknown
until late last season but he has
developed amazingly this year.

HEALTH FAILS
AT WIMBL ED0N
AND AT PARIS
Still Claims Title as
Champion of
World
By HENRY L. FARRELL
United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, Aug. 26.-One of
the most unusual and least expect
ed happenings of the mad rush of
big summer sporting events this sea-
son was the default of Mile. Su-
zanne Lenglen in the middle of the
Wimbledon tournament and the
withdrawal of her entry before the
Olympic tennis championship in Pa
ris.
Her default at Wimbledon took
away from her what she had claim
ed was q recognized world g cham
pionship, although she can fall back
upon the claim that she was not
beaten and that she will be the
champion as long as she is not
beaten by any rivals who aspire to
the title.
When she decided to quit VIM
b!edon, after Miss Elizabeth Ryan,
the former California woman, had
given her the fight of her life, her
wisdom was not questioned and her
motives caused no suspicion. 1t was
accepted in London tennis circles
that the French girl did not feel
quite up to her game and that she
wanted to save herself for the Olym-
pic matches. The loss by default of
her Wimbledon championship was
considered a very serious step, but
the opportunity of winning the Olym
pic championship had its good
points. The same stars that played
at Wimbledon were entered in the
Olympic matches and there were
additional entries from other nations
that gave the Olympic officials
good reasons for advancing the
matches as being for the world s
championship.
Then, also, Mile. Lenglen by
printing herself for the Paris games
could have claimed the world s
won one first place and probably
three for France in the singles,
championship and she could have
doubles and mixed doubles.
There must have been good reas-
ons for her refusal to take ad-
vantage of the fine opportunity
for further glory that were offered
in the Olympic matches. By elimi-
nation it might De advanced that
she was physically unfit, as she
claimed, or that she is through as
a champion player. 1t is all up to
the individual to form an opinion.
