This musical diversion is in
three acts and calls upon the
Players to develop and sustain

sure, just light and quay enough
to provide setting for the In

SUZANNE NOT TO
PLAY FOR U. S.
CHAMPIONSHIP
(By Dispatch A. P. wire)


NEW YORK; April 27. - Suzanne
Lenglen will not compete in tho
United States Woman's Tennis cham
pionships at Forest Hills in August
in connection with her Forthcoming
trip to this country to fulfill motion
picture contract. This was disclosed
today by Charles C. Pyle, Chicago
promoter, after filing request with
the United States Lawn Tennis asso-
citation for sanction for exhibition
matches contemplated for the French
women's tennis champion. The ad-
visory committee of the U. S. L. r. A.
was to have considered this request
at its regular weekly meeting but
postponed action until next week
without indicating what course would
be taken.
Mile Lenglen's plan to stay out Of
the American title tournament is not
expected to meet with favor among
tennis officials, who pointed out to-
day that, fnasmuch as she is coming
to this country anyway, it would be
looked upon as a return courtesy for
her to compete here in view of the
entry of Miss Wills in the French
championships.
According to Pyle and his represen-
tative, William HI. Pickens, who closed
negotiation with Mile. Lenglen abroad
recently, the French ace plans to ar,
rive here late in August. Her inten-
tion now is not to compete either in
the national championships, scheduled
to start August 16, or in the proposed
Franco American Women's team match
here, inasmuch as she expects to try
conclusions abroad with Helen Wills
as we'll as other American stars, in
the French and English championships
in June and July.

new CONTRACT
(By Dispatch A. P. wire)

! NEW YORK, April 274-Tex Rick

Dempsey's signed contract in his
pocket. The contract, he explained,
binds Dempsey to fight under his pro-
motion i'll defense of his heavyweight
title, against either Harry Wills, or
Der, somewhere in New York or New
Jersey.
Rickard refused to stipulate just
who would be Dempsey's opponent and
he said, the opponent may not be an
nounced until two months before the
fight the final date for naming tho
challenger under the terms of tbs
agreement with the heavyweight
champion.
II don't know who it will ~be," said
Rfckard, "but I'll tell you right now
Dempsey would rather fight Wills
than Tunney. He figures the negro
will be an easier opponent.
Gas soon as I'm ready with an op-
ponent 1 will go to the state athletic
commission, lay out my plans and ask
for official approval"
Rickard scoffed at reports that
Tunney and Wills meet in an elimi-
nation test before the Dempsey fight
under his direction.
But he admitted he knew Paddy

contract with another New York
promoter binding Wills to fight ,Tun,

were actually outplayed Red" Dono-

way to Bell who completed the game.

when Dorman was refused permission

With Salmon behind the bat for the
Miners, Dorman, who has been per-
