THE AMATEUR GAME. “It is a curious and perhaps a significant fact that while the principal lawn tennis finals at Wimbledon were being watched by enormous and excited crowds, the great Suzanne Lenglen, turned professional, was playxnjt before only a few hundred casual spectators at Henley. And yet some people, had feared that in the clash of events Wimbledon would be deserted. The truth seems to be that the public will always prefer a competition to an exhibition, and that until there are enough high-class lawn tenuis professionals to make professional competitions possible oil a .large, scale, the amateur game as a_ spectacle will continue to be in the ascendant.’’— “Daily News" (London).
