Hy HOI113HT KDGItEN, There's a report from Frnnce that Mile. I.eiiKlen, the famous tennis champion of Hurope, has so com pletely broken down In health that she will never 1m seen on u tennis court ngaln, Her heart, doctom say, lifts hem weakened by strenuous competition. This would bo nlnrmlng but for another report over tho sumo cahlo on tlm same tiny to the effect that Mile, Lcnglen Is fairly aching to re turn to America nnd show up the peoples who criticized her for wltl) drnwllj; from contests on her tour Inst summer, nnd that next year ahe "will astonish the world with her brilliant vlrtnrli, whlcl) H! bi mora dramatic- than her Into down fall." V ' Thls-c-or perhaps. Pa hotter say. these bolng tho caso, wo'll nwolt Mile. Lcnglen's next nppcarnnce he fore deciding whether aho's through or not. In any ease thn French woman champion will havo a chance to, show what she .fcan do. if she wants to, for Mrs. Mallory plans go ing abroad next season to cdmpete In both the Rngllsh and tho French championships. He's Going to WnrW. "We mil" Tllden is likely to bo missing when tho British tennis championships aro contested for again. Tllden only foreigner who ever turned tho trick has' won tho British title twice. He says lie win not defend It In 1922, na ha Intends to hucklo down to business. Tllden's renl- reason for staying at homo may ho tho defense of the Davis cup. Tllden and Johnston are tho outstanding American singles slurs. Tllden will bo as good next year as ho wan last season. All he needs Is a reat. Johnston has slipped back n hit, nnd Is thinking of retiring. Tllden played so many chnmplonshlp matches and traveled so much lost scUHon that ho was etalo and below his best form at tho end. The real mennco to United states tennis supromacy will come from 1 Austrnlla, whero tho veteran Nor-1 man Brookes la concentrating his j effrts In developing a cup winning combination. lie bi ought out young J. O. An derson, who reached tho somtflnals nt Merlon, losing only aftor a bitter strugglo with Wallaco Johnson. Brookes la also grooming Gerald Patterson, former holder of tho Brit ish trophy. Not satisfied with de veloping young stars, Brookes Is pre paring to Invade this country again himself. Now over 40 yenrs of ngc, Brookes will not go through tho atrnln of tho singles competition, but wilt uti lize his cunning In the doubles, whero Americans havo not shown so well, For many years Norman Hrookcs luia beon ono of tho won- deiB of thn tennis world, nnd Tllden wonts to stay at home and save him self for the task of repulsing the In vasion from thn antipodes. A "Hafo" Match. 'There's talk In Franco of match ing 'lUattllng SIkl," n Senegalese boxer, with Georges Carpentlor. Hlkl outpointed Pnul-tfourneo nnd gave him u 15-rnund beating without being able to knock him nut. ' Joumcn was Carpontler'n sparring partner when Georges wns training to fight Dempsry. Hhortly beforo tho CarpcntlerjDempsey fight Jour nee met Chftrlro Wolnort, who knocked tho tnll French heavy weight for a goal with little loss of time, so completely outclassing him that thero was practically no con test. France Is naturally anxious to see Carpontlcr In action again, nn ho has done little fighting nt home slnco the war. Mntchlng him with a man who couldn't knock out Journeo In IS rounds Is a perfectly safe proceeding, so far as Carpon tlcr la concerned. Slaking Out Claims. Low Tendler "claims" the light weluht championship on tho plea that Benny Leonard refuses to de fend It, although offered good purses or percentages to fight Tendler, Hocky Kansas claims the title on the ground that ho recently took u 15-round decision over Tendler In New York. A Tribute. I don't often wrlto about athletes who have "gone over tho r.mgo," tflr several reasons. The world lin't such a merry old place tliul It's good to dwell on the things that sadden. Still, now nnd then namen flash through the news, (or tho last time and ran hardly be passed by. It cave mo a shock when I read, golns down town In a.

Every, man who ever knew him wna hla friend. ' Carpontlcr Not Through, Georges Carpcntler put ono over on tho peoplo who thought ho was nil through 'Just becnuso Jack Demp- ney tapped him rather vigorously on bend nnd ribs, when ho started training again Inst week and an nounced that ho Is going to defend tho llght-heavywclght championship against all challengers who show the necessary clais. This means that Carnentler never thought of drawing out of his verbal agreement with Tox Itlckard to come to this country and fight Tom Gibbons. Ho will como over, prob ably, ns soon ns ho has cooked the gooso of Mr. Cook of Australia, his next opponen), England. . Football Supreme. The basketball Benson la in full swing, naaketball Is a harder, fast er gamo than football, But It lacks aomo of the spectacular features pt tho grldlr"" sport. It covera loss ground, nna teams of flvo scantily clod men are less lmpresslvo than teams of 11 moleaklnncd nnd hcl meted heroes.

It was de cided, howover, to Increase tho num ber of playrra n club Is permitted to hnvo under option from eight to 15. Commissioner InndU is deter mined tho draft shall bo completely restored. "If baseball Is tho great retl blooded nnd sportsmnrllkn American game It professes to be," ho said to day, "It can not ufford to tolerate a condition that is both tm-Americun and unsportsmanlike and the hold ing back of tho ball player Is Just that."

Ono resolution prohibits umpires from scouting and confines tho ac tivity of it scout to ono lub. Tho major league clubs will hold forty men, under reservation as they did last year. Whon reducing their rostors to tho allotted 25 limit, they will ask to bo permitted In the future 'to send 15 players qut on optional agreement which will take. earn of all rorty men.
