Lenglen Gives

FARIS, Aug. g. Mile. Suzaoe
Lengien, famous for her marveloup
tennis playing and cratic tempera
mont, has declared that profession
alism is better suited to her moody
nature than the amateur status.

ervbody. I just haven t the mood
for that
On being asked what she thought
was the best age for women tennis
players. Suzanne replied: 4" Any
woman should plav q good game uD
to 30. but after that she begins to
lose Ter skill | certainly expect
to retire when | am 50. SO you see

! In answer to the suggestion that
she might welcome an open tourna-

tic display Of temperament, " Oh, ]
! should not object to playing but [
make no promise. I might and
might not 1t all depends on how
I should feel at the time You see |

Suzanne was not in the mood for
talking at great length on the ques-
ton Of the amateur status as com
pared with the professional but she
said that she had no criticism to Of
fer against amateur.
THE line is such fine one,
she said What is the exact diff

that I could do it. In America an
amateur cannot write about tour
