WIMBLEDON. Em gland. June
23. (By Associated Press.)
The oueen of England came to
Wimbledon today to see Mile. Su
zanne Lenelen perform in the
golden jubilee tennis tournament
But the queen of tennis would not
set foot on the courts.
Amazement swept through the
thousands who gathered to watch
the matches, and then wonder: as
to the cause. Club officials bur
ried back and forth; there were
consultatioons in various corners
and whispered explanations.
Suzanne had been delayed In
reaching the grounds by a break
down in her motor, and soon there
were rumors that she had return
of the nervous manifestations by
which she is occasionally afflicted.
Meanwhile the crowds became
uneasy, but Queen Mary sat com-
Dlacently in her gray silk and
silver-gray turban, totally obli
vious for a time of the agitation
that was going on within the con
fines of the clubhouse in an effort
to bring the temperamental Su
zanne to a realization that the
queen and her loyal subjects were
awaiting the coming of the little
French star.
Suzanne explained that she was
in an extremely nervous condi
tion, had been ill overnight, had
suffered from the heat, and, fin
ally she declined to play In two
matches on the one day the sin
gles and the doubles.
She protested against such an
imposition and she had the sup
port of her companions, Borotra,
Burgnon, Cochet and the others.
She would not go on and that
was the end of it.
Borotra was summoned to the
royal box to explain as he might
the whole sad affair. The queen
was very gracious, and learning
that Mile. Lenglen had a recur
rence of a nervous affection, ac
cepted in kindly manrier Borotra'a
statement, rendered somewhat ex
plosively in halting English, and
the apologies of the officials for
the no-appearance of the cham
pion.
She could well understand, she
said, that the indisposition of a
player mght upset the schedule
of the day.
Eventually the tournament
committee decided to postpone
both matches. Suzanne would not
play in the doubles and Miss Mary
Browne and Miss Elizabeth Ryan,
the American pair, declined to
accept a default. Suzanne even
offered to withdraw from he Bin
ges, out as ine question was iin
ally arranged, both singles and
doubles are on the program for

their wanderings they speak from
a wide experience.
The shade trees, the unusual
amount of . grass that has survived
the tramp of many feet, general
cleanliness and good sanitary con
ditions were chief among the feat
ures commented on. Many parks
have dust lying inches deep on

has a coating of . carpet-like grass
over most of its surface. Shade
trees are a rarity in auto camps,
say the tourists, and Salem's cara
