She ISA PRO.

NEW YORK, Sept. 20. - (AP) IS Su-
zanne Lenglen, former woman tennis
champion of the world, arrived today
to enter the ranks of professionalism
as "rebel" against the amateur rules
of the game.
Exulting in her freedom from these
rules, she declared there is too much
dictatorship in the amateur organlza-
tion, with the players being "bossed"
too strictly. She also thought amateur
players should share in the proceeds
from matches.
cat Wimbledon and at Cannes and at
Forest Hills she said, "the promoters
took all the profit after expenses had
been met, while the players did the
work. Why should the players not
have their share?"
She readily admitted she had turned
professional to make money, explain
ing she felt that it was time she did
something for herself. The former
world champion appeared more like
woman of fashion than a tennis player
when she arrived on the steamship
Paris. She wore costume made by
one of the leading Paris fashion de-
signers and brought eleven trunks
crammed with the latest clothes from
French shops. She brought supply OF
perfume also.
Mile Lenglen said she expected to see
professional tennis become as popular
as professional football. She will talk
over radio station WOR tomorrow
night when she will tell of her plans
in this country.

Two western golfers who suffered
unexpected elimination today after

more formidable foes yesterday, were
Mrs. Lee Mida and Mrs. ]. S. Cassriel

OF CITY SERIES

Root hurled the Cubs to a to 0
triumph in the opening game of the
annual city series with the White Sox
at the Burin stronghold today. The
White Sox were unable to solve Roots
offerings with any degree or GER
tainty or consistency and contributed
considerably to their own downfall
by frequent blunders some of which
were commission and other of omis-
sion.
Red" Faber started on the mount
for the Sox and a great pitcher while
he was in there. The Cubs scored
two runs off him in the third but
Berg's wild throw to first passed up
a certain double play and put the
veteran spitball pitcher in the noIe.
Root held the Sox to four hits,
Hunnefield getting two and Sheely
and Falk one each. Faber retired IN
the Sox half of the eighth in favor
of a pinch hitter, Ray Morehart, and
George Connally took the mound ror

and Hollis Thurston was rushed to
the rescue. Before he could retire

scored more runs and clinohed the
victory.

ALL EYES WILL
TURN TO BABE
AND R. HORNSBY

NEW YORK, Sept. 29.-(AP)-As the
series, Babe Ruth and Rogers Hornsby
carry unusually heavy burdens of re-
sponsibility into the battles that start
here Saturday.
Not since 1909, when Hans Wagner
and Ty Cobb matched their playing
skill, has the baseball classic brought
together a rivalry so colorful as that
between the mighty slugger of the
yankees and the brilliant manager of
the Cardinals. Like Wagner, Cobb and
Others of playing fame, Hornsby and
Ruth may find it difficult to meet ex-
pectations, or they may, in the pinch,
| rise to greater heights.
This will be Hornsby's first turn in
baseballs big show, but Ruth will be
taking the stage for his seventh per-
| formance The Babe alternately has
/ been a bust and star, but he has
never quite broken in among the ranks
of the champion immortals. Ruth's
mauling mace played a big part in the
defeat of the Giants by the Yankees in
l1923, but in the previous two all-metro-
Fpolitan classics, the Babe was subdued
1 by John McGraw's master minding."
While all eyes will focus on Hornsby
and Ruth, it may fall to the lot of less
conspicuous performer to step into the
/ spotlight. More often than not, the
Erecords reveal, the role of world series
hero has fallen to unheralded players.

The convention was generally re-
garded by republican leaders as one
of the most harmonious of recent

among the drys and the women, be-
cause of the failure of the slate to

The Islander left here yesterday

When the fog lifted to some en-
