Suzanne Takes
To Mountains
With Jangly
Nerves
By FREDERICK K. ABBOTT

By FREDERICK X. ABBOTT
NICE, France, Feb. 22.--
Suzanne Lenglen is quitting the
hectic life of the Riviera today
for the quiet of the mountains,
victim of nerves and the fine
brand of tennis played by Helen
Wills.
The revenge" match between
Miss Wills ana Mile. Lenglen now
seems unlikely to be held on the
Riviera, for Mile. Lenglen has
announced that her doctor has
advised against her playing any
more singles for some time to
come.
Suzanne's condition is not critical,
and it is said to be largely a
crise des nerfs, brought about by
the severe test that her ability was
put to a week ago when she faced
the California girl. Tuesdays
severe battle, coupled with private
worries and perhaps too much
social excitement, has left Mile.
Lenglen a weary person, glad to
seek a mountain refuge. It has
left Helen Wills superior tennis
player. for she has undoubtedly
profited by her match with Mile.
Lenglen.
II there is no revenge match"
for Suzanne still reserves i1ei
womanIy right to change her mind.
then perhaps Miss Wills will meet
Mile. Lenglen at the French open
championships at st. Cloud, or at
the Wimbledon championships.
Miss Wills best chance would
be at Sc. Cloud, for the grass
courts at Wimbledon, usually
fairly slow and heavy from the
frequent English rains, are not
rs well suited tOthe CaIifOrnian's
style Of play as they are to the
Means style.
II Helen Wills does not go stale.
from q surfeit of tennis she vii: be
in marvellous form at st. Cloud, for
the experts declare that her game
has improved tremendously since
she met Mile. Lenglen, and on paper
they agree that her match against
Mrs. Satterwaite yesterday was Al
display of form superior to That
which Suzanne generally Displays
against this formidable English
woman. Miss Wills beat Mrs. Sat.
terwaite, ST.. 81, in the finals of
the Bristol tournament at Beaulieu j.
and beat her by a display Of as
fine tennis as has ever been seen
on the Riviera.
The dimming prospects of an
other Wills-Lenglen match on the
Riviera is disappointing to the fans
and to the hotel managers. as well
as the tennis promoters. Pere
Lenglenss Nice tournament will
suffer IL Suzanne abides by her de-
cision to play no more singles.
