PREDICTS SEVERAL WILL BEAT HELEN
Samuel Hardy Believes Suzanne
 Better Than American Girl

Now York. Jan, 27 LPl -- Samuel Hardy. captain. .manager of tho American Davis Cup tennis team in 1920. in q copyrighted article in the New York Telegram today. says that he fears Helen Wills, America'S woman champion, will hc beaten several times during her Invasion Of European cour,a,
 Hardy, who several times has played with both Miss Wills and Suzanne Lenglen of France. believes that Mile. Lenglen will not he the only one to score over the American and ho names Mile. Nlasto, whom Miss Wills conquered in the Olym- pics and again the recent Metropolc tournament, along with Scnorita Alvarez, the Spanish champion, as probable obstacles to the American champions success.
 Mile. LengIen, he argues, has no defect in her style and is Miss Wills superior in the mechanics of the game by a great margin. She is faster than the American, playing on her toes all the time while Miss Wills Is too much on her heels. And as strategist she is a champion, n department in which Miss Wills is strong yet not quite q match for the French girl.
 The high sky. warm sun and cold nights of the Riviera may have som' effect on the American, he says, al though the hand!caps should not bt too great. However. Mile. Lengler
 knows every inch of clay upon th'
 hard courts of her native territory
 AS to psychology Hardy declare that both are uphill fighters, Nils
 Wills being at her best while coming
 from behind.
 Experience goes to Mile. Lengier

HELEN WILLS HAS
 MARRIAGE OFFERS
Suzanne LenSlen a 10 to 8 Fa-
 voTite Over American Champion

Cannes, Jan. = Pt-Humors are . going tho rounds that Miss Helen . Wills has received two offers of mar {. riage--one from q noble lord of th" British aristocracy and the other ! from q plcbian professional tennis ! player Both offers were rejected. They were made during the past three days, it Is said,
 Ma,rimony is not in the program of Miss Wills at present. She ia lcclored 10 have conveyed knoWl- adgc of this fact 10 the titled Eng lishman and the tennis player who sought her hand.
 "I don't deny that ] have had Of. fcrs of marriage, and l won't con firm the rumor," said the American champion today. But" she added, eff you are q betting man please 1 lay odds that l shall return to Cali

 Ten thousand francs against 6oNn that Suzanne Lenglen will win over
 Miss Wills when they meet were off, fered yesterday at the end of the match between the American girl land Miss Bendit, who vas disposed
 of easily, 6-l. Go. Even money was
 offered that Helen does not win
 more than seven games from the French flash and that she will lose lin straight sets. This money also
 went begging. A week ago Mile Lnnglen was tho favorite 10 win. but the experts all believe now that the American champion is holding something In reserve and therefore have shortened their odds,

 T. Is the opinion of William T.. Tildon that Helen Wills hasn't a chance 'o beat Mile, Lenglen on the Riviera, Tho American girl might win on home courts or at Wimhle- don. but her prospects because Of unfamiliar environment on the Riviera, discounts chance of Ylc- tory.
 "Mllo. Lenglen Is q genius, and, as such. subject 10 flights of artis- tic temperament" declared Tilicn, Miss Wills hasn't the guile for tn" court craft 10 beat Suzanne a' her own game.
