Southampton, N. Y, Aug. g.
W.P)-Bobby Riggs of Los Angeles
and Jiro Yamagishi Of Japan to-
day moved into the final round
of the 47th annual Meadow Club
Invitation Tennis Tourney.
The 19-year-old Californian
who ranks fourth nationally
justified his top-seeding in the
domestic draw when he soundly
thrashed Arthur Hendrix, of
Lakeland, Fla, 6-2, 6-2, 6-2.
Hendrix, rated 10th in the nation
and seeded fourth fought a hope
less battle from the opening ral-
ly.
Yamagishi, national champion
of Japan who headed the foreign
seedlings, found The going even
easier in his semi-final test,
coasting to a 60, 60, GA victory
over Hal Surface of Kansas City
in As minutes. Yamagishi, who
lest only IL games in his march
to the finals, never gave the
blonde Missourian a chance. He
kept Surface on the defensive
from the outset with a devastat-
ing baseline attack, and when Hal
attempted several sorties to the
net, Jiro drove him back with
high lobs, or scored neat passers
down the sidelines.
Riggs and his teammate from
Los Angeles, Bernard Coghlan,
moved into The doubles final
when they beat the Japanese
tandem of Yamagishi and Fumi-
turu Nakano, 6-2, 3-6, Ga, 6-2.

Newport, R. L, Aug. 5.-lU.R-
Man in the red pants:
A shiny, yellow tender from
Mike" Vandeybilt'S private yacht
Vara pulled up to the New York
Yacht Clubs float here and three
fellows and thre2 girls got out. l
button-holed the husky youngster
with the taffy- -cOlored hair and,
after introducing myself, said,
Rod. why do you wear red pants?
The gals giggled and the other
.-wo fellows grinned. Rod flushed
and said. perhaps, we had better
walk into the club house and talk
this over" so we sat down at a
table inside and talked.
Roderick Stephens, Jr., prob
ably the acc of Americas gener-
alton of yachtsman, explained
right off that he wore red pants
while sailing because Il am super
Stitious. I never have lost a race
with those red pants on-and I'm
afraid to take a chance without
them"
Of all the men on the Ranger
and Endeavour 2nd during the
Americas cup races, Rod Stephens
was the first fellow you picked
out through your binoculars be-
cause of his flaming trousers.
Many persons in the spectator
fleet thought at first he was Mrs.
Vanderbilt in some sort of sail
ing pajamas. But they didn't
think that long.
Any time you let your glasses
settle on the Ranger thE first
human that caught your eye was
Mr.. Red-PantS Scurrying about.
During the third race you could
see his red legs waving aloft ike
a couple Of pennantS when he
went up the mast in a boSun'S
chair to fix something at the spin
maker head.
Although Rod IS only 81, h is
unqueStionably the buSieSS indi-
vidual in the Rangers afterguard
or crew because he is the contact
man between Vanderbilt and the
crew-the successor of the veteran
C. Sherman Hot. Rod is re-
sponsible for placing the crew
during a race: he has charge of
the mechanics of setting the sails,
and handling the mast and rig
ging.
Young Stephens, erStwhile
hockey star at Cornell, was talk
ing about his red pants. He said,
Il picked them up on the French
coast a couple years ago. They're
the kind that some of the French
sailors wear. I started wearing
them in races-and they brought
me good luck.
"Oh-certainly it's just pure
But everybody on
the Ranger is superstitious-like
most yachting people. Yes
Vanderbilt is SuperstitiouS too.
He always wears the same neck
tie and handkerchief in races.
Why?-you ask him.
And our navigator, Professor
Zenas Bliss, always wears the
same yellow Shirt-and even Mrs.
Vanderbilt always comes aboard
in the same blue coat. l guess
every member of the afterguard
and even the crew has his own
private superStition5."

Senators Warned
Not to Be Misled
ByD.C. Tax Rate
Ne,u Committee Mem.
bers Told to Consider
High assessment.

New members Of the Senate SUBJ
committee on District appropriations
were cautioned in this years hearings
by Senator Copeland OF New York
against Understanding Washinston'a
property tax levy by looking at the
rate without considering the high
basis Of assessment. When Senator
Hitchcock, Democrat, of South Dakota
one Of the newcomers, asked the pres
ent rate and was told 1t is $50
Copeland informed him of the local
full value assessment, and added:
"A man who is familiar with the
tax rate at home says, My heavens
what 4 low rate exists here but it il
due to the fact that the assessment
here Is based on 100 per cent Of value,
or perhaps l25 per cent"
Chairman Thomas cited the further
fact that tax rates elsewhere have to
be fixed to cover the amortization Of
bonded debts, whereas Washington II
required to operate ON = pay-as-you-gu
basis, which eliminates sinking fund
requirements.
Copeland and Thomas, veterans on
the subcommittee, have felt for . long
time that Washington's tax problems
would b understood better in Con-
gress II the city followed the rule Of
most cher cides Of using q lower
oasis oHAssessment and Q higher rate.
