THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND;

French Woman, First Time in

Suzanne Lenglen, Tennis Champion of Europe, Meets Water

loo on Forest Hills Court Accuracy Gone (By Associated Press) FOREST HILLS, N. Y., Aug. 17. Suzanne Lenglen, her marvelous rec ord on the tennis courts blemished by defeat for the first time in two years lay in her sick bed today a tragic f gure, whose dreams of several years had vanished. " She came to America expectant of winning the title of United States champion on the Forest Hills court, and yesterday, when her opportunity to eliminate the titleholder, Mrs. Molla Bjurstedt Mallory, came, she was not Suzanne the marvelous. She was sick, and her dash and accuracy of placement were gone. , Mrs. Mallory, playing with a skill she seldom has equalled, defeated this French jewel of the court, 6-2 in their first set Then when Suzanne failed to rally at the opening of the second set she walked to the umpire and iaid: "I positively cannot continue, I cannot breathe." Will Fill Engagements. Exhausted by coughing from a sudden - recurrence of bronchitis, the French wizard dropped into a chair, and later went to her rooms and was ordered by a physician to rest for at least a week. Her manager said he expected Mile Lenglen would be able to participate in the mixed doubles at the Longwood Cricket club, Boston, next week, and later fulfill her scheduled engagements elsewhere in the United States. But her hope of winning the championship has passed. So too has the marvelous reputation of not having lost a set in two years of tournament play. Mile. Lenglen in these two years conquered every woman tennis player of note in Europe, won all the national championships in which she par ticipated and acquired the title of world champion through victory at wimbledom. But In the United States the Wimbledom tournament Is not rec ognized as conferring a world title on the victor, and so Mile. Lenglen, anxious to remove all doubt that herj skill wa3 supreme, came here to win the American laurels. Health Not Recovered She had triumphed over Mrs. Mallory only a few weeks ago in France, and last year she defeated a British star who previously had won from Mr3. Mallory. Suzanne expected to defeat the United States champion again, but she warned those who met her on her arrival from France last Saturday that she was a convalescent and wanted to "put in an alibi early," should her ambition fail of achievement. . The French star did not want to play yesterday. Hours before her time to dance upon the court came, she told A. R. Do Jcannis, vice-president of the French lawn tennis federation, who accompanied her, that she was ill and should not play. But he insisted, asking Suzanne not to disappoint the thousands who came to see her. This thought, and her ambition to win the championship, caused her to yield against her expressed wishes, Mr. De Jcannis said. Not in Usual Form From the start she was not as ad vertised. In the first place, she wore no sweater when she skipped out to the court. Customarily' Suzanne wears at least two or three of them, peeling them off one by one as the play progresses. All the heralded tornado-on-tiptoe stuff was absent, too. Mademoiselle did not pirouette. She did not leap high into the air in a thrilling whirl to slash te ball back across the net. She appeared bereft of all the dazzling jumps from one end of the court to the other and the flashy smashing at the net, for which she is

Doubtful if Georges Will Ever

Back to

Carpentier's Wife Strongly Objects to His Appearance in Squared Ring Cannot Gain More than Lucre Has Plenty of That.

By FRANK G. MEXKfS "It's doubtful if Georges Carpentier ever will come back to these parts to do battle with Toma&co Gibbons, slugging party of the first rart from St. Paul. There's a reason one beyond the story of a'fractured bone in the right hand, "which will not heal." At the time of his marriage the Frenchman is reported to have promised his bride that the tussle with Jack Dempsey "win, lose or draw," would be the last of his career. This pleased Mrs. Carpentier immensely, because, even though she thinks Georges is the greatest mitt whirler in the world, she is opposed to fighting. She cannot get it out of her mind that the game is somewhat brutal and fraught with the peril of permanent physical harm to each and every combatant including her husband. Some of the cabled stories concern ing the Dempsey-Carpentier fight distressed the Frenchman's wife considerably. Among the early reports that reached there was one which stated that Carpentier had died a few hours after the fight ended due to the terrific body punching of Dempsey. When this was denied, there were rumors that he was in a bad way and perhaps permanently crippled inwardly,. Wife Suffers Anguish. Those yarns, cf course, were found to be false later but the wife of Carpentier suffered considerable anguish before thay were authoritatively denied. And in those hours her eagerness to have Georges quit the ring was intensified. Those who profess to know the "in side and the outride" insist that Carpentier's wife was considerably dis pleased with the news that he planned to return to America in the Fall and sttempt to take a few pot shots at the Gibbons boy. She is said to have argued rather vehemently against it and to have reminded Georges of his promise that the Dempsey thing was to be the farewell. It is a well-established fact that Carpentier cannot gain much more than lucre and a possible beating by taking on Gibbons. He now holds the light heavyweight championship of the world and by winning from Gibbons he could add no new crown to his diadem. If Gibbons whipped him, it would take much prestige from the Frenchman, whereas if he won from Gibbons he wouldn't gain much as far as a return match with Dempsey is concerned. For no matter what Carpentier does in the future, he always wil be considered as outclassed by the "Utah Mauler." Carpentier is quite comfortably fixed as far as money is concerned. He Come

PROMISING TROTTERS FACE STARTER'S GOtlG . (By Associated Press) i PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 17 The best field of three year old trotters, to face the starter t.his season was promised for the Newbeck stake of $2,000 this afternoon at the Grand Circuit meeting at the Belmont driving club's track at Narberth, Pa. . Nineteen young trotters, the pick of the colts and fillies which have started this year, were entered. A. B. Coxe, of Paoli, Pa., has offered a special silver trophy. The Bellevue-Stratford stake, worth $2,500 for 2:05 trotters with ten entries, brought the stars of the 1921 campaign together and a big field w,as t assured in the B. F. Keith theatre Make of $1,000 with eighteen named to go. There was also a novelty race of one mile and 100 yards for 2:24 class i trotters scheduled. The track was in splendid condition early today.America For Bout took nearly half a million dollars out of this countrv within a vear and carted it back. to France. .He estab - lished himself in a small manuf actu ing business which is ProsDerinir. The income from this source is sufficient to provide'him with all the needs of a lifetime. "The "velvet"' from his American venture can carry him along for 20 or 30 years in comparative luxury. Carpentier .therefore, is In the position ,of gaining nothing but money for fighting Gibbons and he has about as much money as he will be able to spend. By fighting, he may lose, surrender prestige and presumably incur the displeasure of his wife. So, it would seem that the story that Carpentier cannot keep his engagement with Gibbons on the originally scheduled date "because of a bad hand," perhaps is a lead-up to a full cencellation of the match and the complete retirement of Georges Carpentier from the ring warfare in America, at least.

MEET CHICAGO SQ0I1 IN CRUCIAL BATTLE CHICAGO, Aug. 17. The New York Americans arrived here today for what was considered a crucial series with the Chicago White Sox. The Yankees and Cleveland are having a tough tussle for first place and the New York outfit faces the Sox with hopes of better results than have characterized past series with the Chicagoans this season. . . . ;, Babe Ruth makes his final appearance in Chicago with the present series and there is much speculation regarding his ability to come through with further circuit clouts here. This season he has succeeded in curing only one homer here from Chicago and that was gained off littls Dick Kerr, who will probably work in one of the New York games if hii lame arm can be coaxed Into shap".
