The method is very simple and not
at all mysterious. Any one can follow
II and any young player with per
severance can become, if not a cham
pion, at least a player OF rank. The
time required for training is not long.
A player develops day by day. Tennis
is a difficult sport, which is constantly
perfecting Itself by the appearance
Of new and interesting methods.
No one can hope to become and re
main a champion without constant
and regular practice. which includes
the mastery of all the newly discover

"A few words of advice. They are the
same that | have often preached TO my
uVn daughter.
Do not forget that it requires te
nacity of purpose and hard work to
arrive.
When YOU have developed into a
first-clasS player you will have TO
tight not only against your opponents,
but against yourself. You will have
10 lead calm, temperate life in order
70 acquire and TO retain your form.
The higher in the scale you so the
harder your work will become and the
more difficult it will be for you to re-
tain Your place. Finally. you may
become champion. You will then be a
legitimate prey 10 all those beneath
YOU who are trying to push their way
up. Sometimes this viii give way 10
mean jealousies and these you must
overlook Your Weaknesses Will be
grossly exaggerated and the hour of
YOUR failure eagerly looked forward
to The slightest variation in your
play will be interpreted as Il signal OF
your decline.
Applause ~ .'icditiitSFSS.
DO net permit yourself to be carried
away by the congratulations. the fiat
;eries or the eulogies Of the press. Re
ceive calmly the applause of the pub
lie. who will undoubtedly forget you
on the morrow. All this is ephemeral.
for when the day comes that you go
down to defeat YOU viii taste the bit

Glory is often worth the price you pay
for it,
Fortune smiles on the audaCious.
To these words Suzanne has often
listened-and she has taken Iced.
Started i'm 1910.
In JUNE 1910. Suzanne Lenglen,
who was then II years old, received as
:: present her first tennis racket, if
shat dubious instrument could prop
erly have been called racket. 1t was
one Of these toy affairs that can be
found in any toy shop, and at the time
J did not think that she would make
better use of it than other children Of
her age.
At first | paid little attention to her,
allowing her to play with her little
friends on the tennis court which l
had had constru ted in my garden. At
the END or ABOUT a month, however,
was so pleased by the deXterity which
she showed with her toy racket that
] ordered from one of the Paris manu-
facturers Il racket which was both
light and we'll balanced, made especial
lv to suit girl Of her age.
Then, in order that | might get
more definite idea OF what she was
capable Of I often played with her.
The progress she made was as rapid
as it was surprising. Even Ut that
youthful age she showed signs of her
developing genius for tactical eXecu-
ton.
In the month of September, that is
10 say only three months after she
started. we visited a friend Of mine,
DIR. Cizelly, who lived at Cote, near
thantilly. The doctor was a great ten
MS enthusiast and owned a court-a
raro thing those days in France. 1t
was there that Suzanne played her
first game before a gallery.

R0CkNE MAY PICK
MILLS AS HIS AID
BY LAWRENCE PERRY.

Knute Rockne of Notre Dame has
been looking about for a good man
to take Tom Lieb's place as assistant
foot ball coach at the South Bend
institution. Now there is strong rea
son to suspect that Tommy Mills. at
one time with Creighton and now
with Beloit. will he the man.
There has been "A lot of secrecy
about the matter and no one has ad
mitted anything, except that Mills
has stated he is considering an offer
from another college. From other
sources comes word that the insti
tuition in question is Notre Dame.
Beloit gave Notre Dame very
good work -out in the Hoosiers' third
game of the season last year and
he and Rockne have always been
upon the most cordial terms.
Mills is a really able foot ball
coach and competent basket ball
men think that he rates with the
great DIR. Meanwell of Wisconsin as
a mentor.
IF he goes to Notre Dame he would
probably take over the entire basket
hall situation i'm addition to helping
Rockne on the gridiron.

This reminds me of d bit or
shrewdness by which Leo and Gene
captured the important money at the
Shreveport, La. open tournament of
1922. At that time they were OPP
ponents.
AS usual. before Florida contra cts
began TO keep many of the stars
within that State throughout the
Winter. the whole migratory goltinS
fraternity was on hand when the
Shreveport event opened. But when
the regiment of contestants descend
ed upon the Shreveport Country
Club they found the course in a de-
plorable condition.
Tremendous rains had removed a
considera BILE part of the top dressing
from the fairway. so that they were
complete network of cuppy lies.
II was freely predicted that score
of 296 would win the tournament.
Did Practice Shooting.
1t chanced that Diegel and Sarazen
had arrived in Shreveport two days
earlier than the rest of the field.
Having taken one good look at the
course, they started out at once prac-
ticing shooting from cuppy lies. EX-
cept on the tees and the green's every
shot was of this description. After
due experimentation, Leo and Gene
hit down on all plays in the fairways,
shooting low balls regardless of dis
tance, and employing terrific back
spin.
This tactical campaign was a
winner for both of them. They fin
ished well in advance of the rest OF
the field, and far under the predicted
total of 296 strokes. Leo was first.
with 275, the third lowest score for
~ competitive holes in the history
of this country, while Gene grabbed
off second money with 2S0
Diegel played marvelously with his
irons all through the tournament.
AS matter of fact, when Leo is
right, his shots to the green are apt
to be characterized by deadly ac-
curacy.
Sarazen tells me Of an instance Of
straight iron shooting by his team
mate which seems positively un-
canny. 1t was coupled with good
head work.
Leo Was Last to Play.

Sir James really could be excused
He had just BEEN watching Roland
Mackenzie sink a putt Of 20 feet on
the thirty-sixth green for a half, to
win up for himself and his captain
against Storey and Brownlow yestel'-
day. On the thirtyfifth green Sir
James had seen Capt Gardner sink
a putt of dozen feet and gain a last
lead in the match--that wildly eccen-
trio match that had seen the Amer
leans up at luncheon, square at the
thirry.first hole and down at the

to decide whether the Americans were
to finish points to l or points to 2.
But Sir James was not In the gal

That was at the thirteenth green of

| to get inside them. In other words.
it was necessary to place his ball in
the neiGhborhood of the cup.
Now this was no easy task to do.
Leo was about 1S5 yards from the pin.
But, from where he lay. he must
cross trap. set in the right edge of
the green. and also get over a mound.
some feet high. built into the
green n few yards beyond the trap.
The cup was on the right side and
not so very far from the back of the
green, where another trap yawned.
There was another complicating
circumstance, says SaraZen. "A
heavy wind was blowing from right
TO left. at right angles to Leos line.
1t would take clever shot to hold
the ball into that wind"
Took a Chance.
Leo considered the situation fully
He finally decided to make use Of the
mound on his shot to the green. II
he fell short of it. of course, it would
stymie him-or he might go into the
forward trap. But he knew that the
grass on the sides of the mound was
long. He figured that if he could
drop his ball on the far slope of the
protuberance. the long green would
retard it so that it would roll no more
than hole-high
Or course he was taking another
chance. IL he carried over the mound
he would be sure to go over the green
But he took this chance.
Using a No. 3 iron, with a con-
siderable slice. so as to hold the ball
on the line in the heavy wind. he
played for the mound. He executed
the shot perfectly. His ball came
down just beyond the crest of the
mound. trickled down its grassy side.
rolled up to the cup and nearly holed
out
OF course, he sank his and won
the hole.
Lots of the boys thought Leo was
lucky" says Sarazen. but then
there's some luck in every shot. The
fact is, he planned this play and he
made it as he planned it,
AS a result Of Diegel's strategy. he
