ENEMY OF SPECIALISATION
London, Oct. 23.
"For my part I do not like tennis," WAS the surprising statement that Mlle. Suzanne Lenglen made to a woman cor- respondent of the "Ocuvro."
“I on the enemy of all specialisa- 'tion in sport," ale explained. "The intensive training and the strain of big matches Are very trying. Tennis kills Its greatest devotex. It unbalances and weakens. I om an average swimmer, I play golf abominably, I rido without
nny particular style, and I am a very bad yachts-woman, Yet I adore yachting, and swimming. I enjoy myself tremendously on the golf course, though, to tell the truth, I love music better than anything. The best way is to go in for any sports that amuse you, and only those in which you do not get tired Dut.
"But you have let yourself be absorbed by tennis?" ventured the correspondent.

"Do you regret it?" "Rather Lenglen.
