LADIES TENNIS FINAL AT WIMBLEDON,

**SUZANNE STILL CHAMPION.

THY A WALLIS MYERS, D.B.2]

Suzanne is still chumpion i

Losing

only two games in each of the two sets. in the final, oh July ath, the French girl came serenely through her challenge from Miss McKnne. She had swept through the lists at Wimbledon for the fifth succes sive year. And in this five years' reign, | playing over fifty sets, she has only lost one-tu Mrs. Lambert Chambers in the | challenge round of 1910), her first year, Verily, a remarkable record, and one that justifies the exclusive class in which she. and she alone, has ben enthroned,

The stage was set worthily for a great match. Conmander Hillyard took the * chair,” as he always does în a Longlen final: the lines were judged by well- known players, Johnsten, Campbell, and Roper Barrett among them. The vast amphitheatre way again thronged with an expectant crowd, those exposed to the buruing sun qualifying for the American' appellation of "fans" And the heat re Iquired any artifice to relieve its rigours. Miss Mekane followed a new. fashion (introduced by Mrs. Satterthwaite on the Riviera) 6f tying a handkerchief round her neck. Suzanne wore her lucky brace, jlet.

The heat undoubtedly had its influence on the play. it must have lightened the balls appreciably, and thug caused many of Miss McKane's best drives tá fly over their legal boundary: and since the Eng lish girl's only real chance lay in deep driving covered by ad advanco in the net, since a defence so well-equipped and so leadfastly maintained could only be {shaken; if it was to be shaken at all, by persistent attack-Mix McKane would assuredly have preferred a cooler day. Nor, if the sun had been veiled, would she have missed the volleying coups, somit of them so appetising, created by her own ground strokes... A chorus of mortified Oh's" went up when Miss McKane muffed an easy smash in the second geme of the second set-Suzanne had renounced the rally, sure of its fate. But it was not so easy to volley in the burning afternoon glare. Perhaps this is on reason why. sensing the efficiency of more restrained methods, the champion rarely, if ever, went to the net.

in

There was no lack of confidence in Miss McKane's strokes. Rather did it ecem to me, that she had too much confid-"] ence in their tactical value, and did not change her system of play as and when its impression on Suzanne's game was found to be comparatively negligible. Thus, when the first game, in which she was vantage thrice, had shown a firm control (no certain attribute at any time j

2 centre court which contains Suzanne), it occurred to me that Miss Mokane might have abandoned the sound- ing return to her opponent's backhand she usually got in this quarter better than she gave and have resolutely gone out for a winner on the other wing. But she preferred to wait for the error, which never came. Only on length that was much aborter did sho attempt the forcing drive with its advance to volley. The success of these shots-the suspicion of stress, which they seemed to implement, on her adversary-appeared to invite their re- petition. I dare say, having regard to Suzanne's swift mobility, they would havo involved the disappointment of a clean pass on several occasions; but their mere exploitation would have forced the cham- pion to abandon her purely defensive at- titude, which seems to give her almost a fixed base. The conclusion I came to was that Miss McKane had the strokes to exert a much sterper pressure; she did not employ them enough in vigoar or variety, and so Suzanne, finding that no threat by surprise would materialise, enjoyed a permanent security.

HOW THE MATCH' WENT»,

Losing the first game, which she might have won, Miss MeKate forfeited the next four without any such probability. She was inaccurate; she beat herself; openings came, but were not accepted; the champion's steadiness was sufficient. Then, to prove her humanity, or perhaps to relieve the monotony, Mile. Longlen hit three balls in succession out of court. Her opponent took a live game. Miss McKane also won the next gamo; she en- ployed her gross forehand well on some mid-court returns and made one crisp, decisive volley. But the champion's lapses were only temporary, She won the eighth and set game without serious strain, and hit a harder ball in the first game of the second set. The increased pace put into these strokes confirmed the impression that Suzanne, despite the beat, had ample reserve stamina. A double fault coat the charapion the second game; she won the third on her oppon ent's errors, and the long fourth by keep- ing cool after Miss McKane, having achieved a fine sequence of volleys to win a point, was visibly reacting. Two really had shots on her backhand-down the line- as service returns gave Miss McKane the fifth, and as it proved, her last, game, The rest of the match was scarcely stimu fating Suzanne had no need to strike an nggressive note; the errors of her op panent -in-reply to her defensive shots were sufficient to carry her out. 1188. McKane was vantage twice in the last zame; no higher did British hopes rise.-- Daily Telegraph.
