morrow.
NICE, France. February R.-
They are offering odds of Z to 1 along
the Riviera that Suzanne Lenglen
will defeat Helen Wills if they meet
in tournament at Cannes next week.
The reason for the big jump in the
odds was the splendid game played
by Suzanne yesterday against Mrs
Haylock of England, whom she de-
feated in love sets. Miss Wills last
week was hard put to defeat Mrs.
Haylock, 81, 6-2.
A Lenglen-Wills match, which has
caused much ink to flow in Europe
and America. and which has created
feeling along the Riviera. now ap-
pears virtually certain. Both girls
have officially announced their entry
for the singles of the Carlton tourna-
ment, which begins on Monday. They
will be seeded in the upper and lower
halves OF the draw
Both champions evidently are anx-
ious to come face to face across the
net and have it out. Suzanne. espe-
cially. has been laboring under great
mental strain. while Miss Wills, usu-
ally cool and self possessed, lately
has shown signs of annoyance and is
said to have decided to stake every
thing upon her chances now, so that,
whether victorious or defeated, she
may enjoy a little rest from the pitt
less spotlight of publicity which has
been following her every move
Helen still feels that her overhead
game needs improvement and has
been playing a practice match every
morning on the Carlton courts. For
these she has been picking the strong
est man players available.
