Once again the question of Su—
sanne Lengelen’s sportmanships has
bobbed up. Unfortunately. of course
but inevitable inkview of‘the circum-
stances surrounding her actions to-
ward the close of the world chem-
pi ip tourney at \K'imbledon.
After playing through to the'clos-
ing matches of the tourney Suzanne's
friends‘announced that on the ad—
vice of physicians she had withdrawn
from rturther- participation.
Unfortunately this was the sec-
ond time that illness had overtaken
~Mlle. Lenglen jjust when the tennis
world was waiting for her to match
. her skill against the most formid-
able opposition that could be found.
When Mlle. Lenglen came to this
country a. few season's back to play
a. return match with Mrs Molla
Bjurstedt Mallory the French girl
defaulted in the middle of the
‘ match because of illness. Her se-
verest critics pointed out then that
she had been outplayed by the
American champion up to the point
when she withdrew. In justice to
her, however. most of those who
witnessed the match and her re-
tirement from th ecourts accepted
her reported illness as the reason
for her retirement. -
Back in Europe again she seem-
ed to regain eupreme. Came the
recent tests of skill at “'imbledon.
Miss Lenglcn seemed to be giving
her best. She had however. met
staff opposition when she faced Miss
Elizabeth Ryan. the American girl
Ryan’s victory in the second set
was the first set-defeat handed the.
French star since the semi-finals of
the 1919 tourney.

Most champions these days have a
great deal of trouble getting down to

not the case with Goldstein. Abe is
at his best a couple of pounds under
the bantamweight limit of 118

around 116 for the affair \Vodnes-
