Par's, Nov, 27 (By the A. P).—Capt. Albert R. De Joannis. who ied Mlle. Suzanme player, to the United States last summer, has tendered his resignation as vice president of the French Tennis federation | with the utmost courtesy. Her and also as a member of the organization. De Joannis resigned agafhst the federation's “order of the day,” published In the morning news- papers today, blaming the directors of ! the “United States Lawn Tennis federa- tion for unjustified commentaries upon the sporting spirit of Mlle. Lenglen.” The resignation of M. De Joannis is the climax of a controversy that has been going on inside the tennis federation since the return to France from the| United States of Mlle. Lenglen and her party. M. De Joannis was accused of naving urged the French player “to en- gage in tennis matches while physically unfit to do s0.” s M. De Joannis told The Associated Press today that thus far he had re- frained from commenting on the criticism leveled against him owing to his deli- cate position and in view of the fact that & woman's name was at stake. but that the attacks became so bitter when the United States Lawn Tennis association was brought into the argument that he had to abandon his reserve. “Mlle. Lenglen” said M. De Joannis today, “was perfectly fit when she met Mrs. Molla Bjurstedt Mallory at Forest H Mile, Lenglen was defeated by a plaver who on that date showed a better brand of tennis. “1 shook hands with Mlle. Lenglen before she entered the court, Her hand was cool and her pulse normal. She was confident. She oniy commenced cough- v I blame ve obtaind a recess of an kour. perhaps an hour, through e sporting spirit of the tennis officials in protest |- { amd_the large - agains tthe United arge crowd. “Suzanne's attacks Lenglen, the French tennis | States lawn tennis officials and the public are absolutely unwarranted. She was received like ‘a.little queen and treated every whim and mood' was satisfied. “She knows how to win, but she does not know how to’lose gracefully. She placed the personality of Suzanne before the good mame of the sporting world of her country and could not face defeat. “The attitude of the United States lawn tennis officials and of the American pub- lic in the face of the repeated defaulls of Mile. Lenglen was very lenient and above all blame. Carpentier is a hero in America, despite his defeat, -because he showed grit and went down fighting, while Mile. Lenglen placed France before the Americah public as preferring to quit than to face defeat. France never quits.” NEW HAVEN KACEYS 3 PLAY MERIDEN IN OPENER The New Haven Kacey basketball team has put in a very strenuous week getting in shape for the apening league game at Merideri on Tuesday night. The team will. put to the- acid test with !C| Restelli Saxe their Silver City brothers as the latter have been strengthened for this season.

The score was 38 to 29, but until the final five min- utes of competition the contest was much closer than the final figures would in- dicate. Powers, at centre, was a flash on the floor and handled the ball cleverly throughout. His passing was sharp and FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL SATURDAY'S MARKET.

Just 2t this time France was at war with England, and she was meeting with defeat. As-Joan wandered in the woods she heard voices and saw - many ons. They kept telling her to save France. She thought that they must mean some- thing, so she told her father that she myst go to the court of France. He said ‘that he would rather drown her than have her go tq battle. She final'y per- suaded him to let her go, and the gov- ernor promised he would bring her safe- 1y to the king.

At first he didn't believe her, but she persisted and finally got permission to lead the army into battle. She was £iven a white suit of armor and a fine horse.
