MONTE CARLO. January f.
Suzanne Len2len's detection from
the ranks of amateur tennis has not
caused a single murmur of protest
along the Riviera.
Leading club secretaries seem
agreed that "Lenglen did the right
thing at the right time" They gen
orally believe she was at the top of
her form last season and that an
other two years would have seen her
fighting hard to keep her title.
IF Suzanne can come home and
retire in 1928 with an income of
$4,000 a year, there is no one who
would question her move" one said.
The difficulties regarding amateur
standing, however, are seriously
bothering the Riviera tennis world.
Following the sensa tional disclosures

which the "non-pay pass key to the

their chance is lost beyond recovery.
| am firmly of the opinion that the
more we encourage healthful athletic
competition. the better citizens we
make. The successful foot ball player
30 years ago was unGisputably the
man who had strength first of al,
courage next and intelligence only as
a minor incident, if at all. Under the
playing conditions of today games are
won and lost simply on the mental
difference, which more than offsets
physical difference Just as great.
| have seen great foot ball classics
decided solely by mental superiority,
difference in speed and clearness of
thought, which was quite as visible
and far more effective than the differ
ence in physical qualities. / am firmly
convinced that the winning foot ball
player is the thinking foot ball player,
and that the most vital qualification
for those who wish to excel at the
game is brains.
