Politesse

Lenglen. On a damp court at the Racing Club in Paris, Suzanne Lenglen and Mary K. Browne, one-time U. S. champion, stroked the ball to and fro. They are good friends and sometimes, in the long pretty rallies, they smiled at each other as if to say, "The spectators like this sort of thing," or "Isn't it exciting!" When MIle. Lenglen considered that a rally had lasted long enough, she hit the ball a little harder than other woman in the world can hit it and relieved Miss Browne of further worry upon the point in question. Often, too, Miss Browne managed to return some difficult shot only to have it called out, and on these occasions Mlle. Lenglen sometimes pointed out to the referee that she wished her friend to have the point. In one unfortunate game two of Suzanne's drives hit the net cord. Miss Browne won this game. The rest, and the match, Mlle. Lenglen took, 6-1, 6-0--the women's international hard court championship.
