things. But heMonged for a part

curacy and determination to fight
to the last, ditch mark the play'
of Helene Contostavios. ranking
woman tennis player of France,
now that Suzanne Lenglen is no
longer' an amateur.
These qualities enabled the lit
tle French-Greek girl to' defeat in
succession Miss Eileen' Bennett,
the British star, Elizabeth Ryan
and Senorita Lili de Alvarez in
rapid, succession to take highest
honors in the jrecent Cannes cham
pionships. Thei sime . q'ualities,
say the experts, will take hef into
the last eight, at least, at Wim
bledon this summer and perhaps
tp the coveted honor now held
by the Veteran Mrs. Kitty McKane
God free, the all-England cham
pionship. -Wfaen Mile. Contostavios swings
her racket Suzanne's brilliance is
lacking. There is no slashing about
the court, no superhuman reach
ing for the' ball. But placing abil
ity, vicious side-line driving and
in sight into the opponent's plan
of campaign take their place.
If Mile. Contostavios is success
ful at Wimbledon it is declared
by some, sporting writers that she
will enter the American national
championships.
