SUZANNE LENGLEN
MAY VISIT AUSTRALIA AFTER AMERICAN TOUR. Sanguine expectations for the future of .professional tennis were expressed by Mr. A. W. Dunlop, tho ex-international player, who is negotiating for a tour of Australia by Mdlle. Suzanne Lenglen. Though only in its Infancy at present, there is no reason why professionalism in tennis should not flourish to the. same extent as in cricket, football, and golf,
he said. He considered the suggestion that it would have an adverse effect on the game tn be ridiculous. Mr. Dunlop hopes to arrange for Mdlle. Lenglen to visit Australia on her wav back to Europe after her American tour. . . , , . No difficulty is anticipated in arranging matches in the event of her accepting the offer, as the laws in victoria, at any rate, permit amateur players to moot professionals in exhibition matches without forfeiting their status. "If she comes,” Mr. Dunlop added, confidently, "she will have a greater reception than Alan Cobham."
