AUTEUIL, France, May 23.-The
possibility of a tennis match for charity
in Roland Garros Stadium between
Mile. Suzanne Lenglen and Mrs. Helen
Wills Moody, who have not met on the
courts since 1926. today stirred tennis
enthusiasts.
Both Mrs. Moody and Mile. Lenglen
have expressed their readiness to play
each other.
The French Tennis Federation is said
to be favorable and it was thought
probable the United States Lawn Tennis
Association would be asked within the
next few days to sanction the match.
Sanction of the amateur authorities
is necessary because of Mile. Lenglen's
classification as professional. She
left the amateur ranks in 1926 to make
a tour of the States and although she
has not competed professionally for
several years she never has sought re-
instatement as an amateur.
