Incident Follows Loss of
Set to Obscure Player
Whom He Eliminated
BY ROBERT WEBB
UNITED Press staff CORRESPONDENT

UNITED Press STAFF Correspondent)
Boston, July 29-Letting the sports
chips fall where they may:
1t begins to look more and more
as II Bobby Riggs Of Chicago won't
win that number two singles berth
on the American Davis cup team. :.
The CONFIDENT 20-year young
ster has been in disfavor with ten
mis- officials since he started the
game and nothing has happened re-
Gently to change this opinion.
What q Racket!
After dropping the second set Of
his three-set match with relatively
obscure player at Sea Bright We'd
nesday, Riggs threw his racquet 40
feet in the air :. when the racquet
fell, 1t nearly injured several spec
tators. -. 1T Is antics OF this sort
that may keep Riggs off the team.
The tennis greybeards don't want
anyone representing this country in
the Davis cup matches whose court
manners aren't beyond reproach :.
Sidney Wood, Frank Parker or Bit
Sy Grant would be chosen ahead
OF Riggs on that basis although Bob
by insists his court manners are
okay. d.. "A New York expert has
compared Riggs court manners to
those of Won Cramm, a model of
court politeness.
Riggs showed a bit of temper In
the recent Longwood bowl tourna-
ment during his indoor semi final
match against Tlwood Cooke of
Portland, Oregon, who yesterday
eliminated Frank Parker at Sea
Bright. Riggs scaled his racquet
across the court when a linesman
called an out on what appeared
to be an ace.
Inasmuch as spectators on the line
said Riggs service was good, one
can't blame him for being a little
annoyed. Instead Of winning the
game, which came at an important
point In the second set, he lost 1t
and the set. il. Thus he had to play
third set because a lineman blund-
cred.
-Tennised
The real reason behind Riggs re-
cent display Of temperament may
be that he is over tennised. He
has played in II tournaments, win
ming IS of them, since the 1888
campaign opened Competitors in
other sports need rest OCCASION
ally, why not tennis players.
In his efforts to show the Davis
cup committee he Is the man for
that number position, Riggs has
won 13 tournaments, the last six
In row. . j.. but at Longwood and
Sea Bright he has showed signs OF
slipping. {. Players who couldn't get
three games a set from him a month
ago are winning a whole set from
him now. :. 81. This angers Riggs
thus such episodes as the racquet.
tossing one are becoming more
common.
Walter L. Pate, non-playing Da-
Wis cup captain. made an odd re-
mark yesterday. -. I'm defending
the cup. we want players who are
keen and on edge, not all worn
out" This can be interpreted many
ways one OF which Is that Riggs
won't be picked because he has been
playing too much tennis.

NEh DCEVICC 0Vhh vvhbsCA
Henry Cotton's short, grooved,
three quarter stroke may not look
graceful, but 1t Is as consistent and
effective as tommy gun.
The famous English professional
has a controlled, compact, unvary-
ing swing that jibes with the
gusty winds encountered on Brit
aims North Sea coast links.
He has mastered the secret OF
hitting late developing the
punch until the clubhead Is almost
at impact.
No hint OF hitting from the top
the curse Of so many players.
1t Is very difficult to hit late from
a three quarter restricted swing, but
Cotton waits for It.
Cotton stands with feet parallel
and at right angles 10 the line OF
flight. This comes natural TO him,
because q player should stand Oh
he walks, and the former British
Open champion walks pigeon
toed, Indian fashion.
No marksman would think OF
shooting at a target without look
ing at 1t. Neither should a golfer
attempt a shot without keeping his
eye on the ball.
II then Is impossible to bring
the clubhead back to the ball IN
the same path in which 1t was
taken to the top OF the backswing.

The snow and heavy prccipita-

and sub-normal temperatures
were reported in southern states,

w man dropped dead while shovel
ing snow in front of his store.
U. S. Weather Forecaster j. R.

in the entire eastern half of the
country. He predicted continued
snow today for the middle Missis-
sippi valley and for all states
north of the Ohio river.
