LENCLEN ILL,
QUITS TOURNEY
fRv Dlsparcn 4 p wirel

NE YORK, Feb. W20.-Wall Street
still considers Mile. Suzanne Leng-
len a favorite to defeat Helen Wills
the next time the two women rivals
step on the court. One Wall Street
firm announced today that it had
placed a wager of $4,000 against
$4,000 that Miss Wills, wins from
the French champion at the next
meeting. The same firm announces
that it has $2500 more to place
against $4,000 the same way. On the
recent meeting this firm wagered
$4,000 against $4,000 that Helen Wills
would win. Despite her good showing
the odds have dropped only little.
BEAULIEU, France, Feb. 2O.-suz-
anne Lenglen rose from a sick bed
today to appear on the Beaulieu ten
mis- courts, and although she won her
match, in the womens doubles in two
love sets, she announced that this
would be her last appearance for at
least ten days.
She scratched from the Beaulieu
j tournament and announced she would
not enter the Monte Carlo tourna-
ment next week, and she will leave
tomorrow for the mountains to rest
for about ten days.
The highly nervous condition of the
French champion which has persist
ed since her victory over Helen Wills
last Tuesday, was manifested sem
sationally earlier in the day, when
she collapsed while journeying from
Nice by automobile to Beaulieu for
her doubles matches. After short
rest at home, however, she was able
to appear on the courts, where with
i Mrs Phyllis Satterthwaite she de-
feated Mrs. Noble and Miss Pittmann
! of England, without the loss of a
game.
| Meanwhile, Miss Wills continued har
| triumphant progress through the
/ sinbles of the Beaulieu tournament,
reaching the finals by a smashing
victory over Miss E. H. Harvey of
England, 6-1, 60. She will face
Mrs Satterthwaite whom she has not
yet played on the Riviera, in the
final round tomorrow morning.
In the mixed doubles the American
champion and Charles H. Kings

ley disposed of Mrs. Randolph Lycett

BANKS ON JOE bush

Now they are saying that the prin-

Bush from st. Louis was due to lax
lity in observing training rules.
know nothing of such things.
However, I do know that Joe Bush
was a pretty good pitcher last sea-
tson. I look for him to be an even
better one with the American league
Iehamps.
| The reason-the much larger play
ing field at Washington. The short
right field bleachers at st. Louis
bothered Bush.
Il never feel safe unless I have
a five-run lead in this park was a
remark Bush made to me one day
last summer at st. Louis. "a pop-fly
home run with the bases filled can
wipe out four runs at any time"
Some of the experts who argue that
Bush is hard to handle won't even
make an Impression on Stanley Har-
ris. They said Dutch" Reuther was
a trouble maker, yet he never be
haved as well as last season and had

GETTING GOOD START

| The Philadelphia Athletics and
| Washington Senators are unquestion-
ably pennant contenders All experts
so agree.
| Getting away to a good start means
much to a club with championship
aspirations. The American league
schedule for 1926 may hand one of
the two above mentioned teams stiff
jolt.
+ 1t is baseball theory that the
ability of a team to knock off its
strongest contender, is very often the
margin that decides pennant issues.
Washington had the edge OH the
Athletics last season and won the
American league pennant.
Each team in the majors plays %
games against every other club, II
at home and abroad This year's
American league schedule calls for
Washington and the Athletics to meet
jeight times in the first IL games of
the season. In other words, the %
game series will be more than one
third over in less than two weeks of
play.

iTilden, tennis champion. 1t will be
recalled that Sir William "blew up
recently when he was ruled out as a

In justice to the distinguished Mr..
Tilden, it might be said that he took

| interviewed relative to the chances
of Helen Wills against Suzanne
Lenglen, Tlden said:
Suzanne should win but may have
her troubles if Miss Wills plays 4
slashing game. She should try Babe
!Ruths stuff on the tennis courts
against Suzanne, because the French
girl is the better strategist.
/ Miss Wills has the poker face,
but Suzanne has the chess brain. She
will prove too smart for the Ameri-
can champion unless Miss Wills simply
plays her off her feet, speaking lit
orally"

No doubt Miss Wills has her game

out and as L understand it. she in
tends playing the style game that
Tilden suggests when next they meet.

a bad break in these eight games it
might have "a strong bearing on the
