No Alibi for French OCEAN VOYAGE SHOULD NOT AFFECT HER- GAME BY LAWRENCE PERRY. EW YORK, August 15.—Sea le is a subjgct very much on t N ong Island, If Suzanne Lenglen, gs as an alibi for lost tennis matches he tapis among enthusiasts who are attending the women’s national championships at Forest -Hills, the worlg-famous French girl, fails o come through her present campaign on the turf courts of the West Side Club, to what extent would her downfall be attributed to lack of breliminary practice and proper period of acclimatization? xtent at all, declare tennis players o another in the course of their playing career. Tennis, they say, is an exact science, nd if you have your strokes perfect- d. why, then, they are yours to use ipon any occasion. Of course, saf- cient time must be given for a player 0 get his—or her—range and get trokes working; but this process does 4 require a great deal of practicg in he case of a gifted exponent of the ourt game. ; Naturally, illness or a physical or ental condition which affects the erves will throw any player off, hether- the play is at home or broad: but all things being equal, ay tennis experts, an ocean voyage hould prove rather a tonic than therwise. Not Bothered by Trips. In this respect attention is called o Molla Bjursted Mallory, who came iraight off an ocean liner and breezed hro: to the Metropolitan cham- ionship for women with all sails set nd everything drawing.

Over here it been the theory— ¢iten verified—by the way that the Arsf ten man players could give the first ten woman players a fifteen-point handicap and dispose of them handily. Indéed, there are many.who maintain that the first twenty male players are superior to the best women. The {ssue as between the male and the female of the species-was worked out in most thrilling manner in France, when Tilden encountered Mile. Lenglen at St. Cloud. Tilden won without a great deal of difficulty. And, even so, Tilden was not in his best form. But Mlle. Lenglen said ghewwas not up to snuff either. , Where- upon Bill Tilden offered to mect her again when she felt up to par. But the French girl seemed content to let the matter rest. Perhaps after the cham- pionships are settled we may have some l Lost-season man and woman tests which will be of the utmost_interest. | As to American Polo. « It is gratifying to note that the Amor-‘ ican Polo Association is not going to | rest upon it international laurels and | give polo players a rest for the re-| mainder of the year. Tt is likewise sat- ( isfactory to note that the various teams cntered in the tournament of the Mead- owbrook Club, which began last Sat- urday and continues today and tomor- row, consist of young players, men who in coming years will probably figure prominently as international candidates. l STANDINGS IN MINORS.

EW YORK, August 15—“The thumb is healed.” said Benny at his bandaged left hand, “is N first thing I want to do when my Leonard.today, as he gazed ruefully to meet Lew Tendler. Then I'll con- vince him whether or not I' was afraid to meet him last Friday.” Some of Leonard’s friends are a rguing with him never to fight Tend- let at all as punishment for the attitude the Philadelphian has taken in g ouy. gut Benny’s frlends, in this stand, ignore public sentiment, which plainly demands a meeting_between the two lightweights. The New Yorker would injure his prestige more than a little were he to duck out of a meeting with Lew when his thumb has knit. No, dope of that sort is all wrong. The champion must defend his honors against Tendler if he hopes to retain holder. Not His First Injury. Are Benny Leonard’s hands, brittle? No one seems to have thought to this question. And no one seems to recall that, i bout against Ted Lewis, Benny put his left out of commisston in an -early round and had to make a right-handed fight out of it, coming through to a decision. This is a very important thing to take into consideration in viewing Leonard's further ring career, for he is getting along now and has been fighting a long time. The last thing he could afford to have fail him along about now would be his maulies. As for running out of the bout, it looks as though Gibson, Leonard’s manager, had too much at stake to make any such scheme wise. He had sunk $8,000 in arrangement for movies of the battle: a $5,000 forgeit was post- | ed and special trains froln New York | to Philadelphia ordered.
