1 together, ate together. played to- gether. Then they reached Seabright, a tournament important enough to bring out high U. s. L. T. A. off, cials, on the lookout for Davis cup material.
 Kovacs played magnificently.
 Came that afternoon when a pho- tographer asked Kovacs and Hud : son to pose for picture. Out of a clear sky, Koyacs refused.
 Asked why, he answered T have my own reasons. I can't have that picture made"
 Sitting in the lounge of the Gov ernor Clinton hotel yesterday, with Kovacs playing at Southampton, Hudson told me what shock the boys behavior had been to him.
 T asked him what was the mat ter, and 50 did my wife" Hudson said. All we could get out of him was that certain tennis officials had told him he positively must no, be seen with me, take any lessons from me, or travel around with me I haven't seen him since. Just what the officials told him would happen to him unless he left me I do moi know, but 1t must have frightened him"
 asked Mir. Hudson If he had not made inquiry among the tennis fathers.
 Nothing Doing
 "Yes, but I got little satisfaction talked to Mir. Holcombe Ward anc he told me that Kovacs did not ncec my services any fonger-that hc was completely equipped player now, and furthermore, If he should by any chance, need coaching, tho Davis cup committee would furnish 1t. told him this was absurd that Kovacs did need further help especially on his forehand. But ht started talking to some one else and seemed to forget all about me.
 Mir Hudson does not intend let. ting the mystery drop. He is busy at work tearing away the mist, that surround the entire transac. tion and promises some interesting developments in few days.

New York, Aug. 4-(UP)-For George Hudson's sake I wish there were a Baker street in New York, and that on Baker street lived Sher- lock Holmes, ready at any time, day or night, to jump into his trap and gallop of to solve a mystery.
 Because George Hudson, tennis coach at the Berkeley Tennis club of Oakland, California, and one of the finest teachers of the game, is confronted with mystery. The mystery concerns what officials of the United States Lawn Tennis as- sociation told young Frankie Kovacs on c hot and sticky afternoon dur ing the recent Seabright tourna- Eaent.
 It must have been an ominous message, because 1t turned him dead against a man who had been his friend, his coach, and his adviser for more than five years.
 Knows His Stun
 That friend, that coach, and that adviser, was George Hudson. He started teaching Kovacs when Frank was gangling boy of 13 Finally Frank developed sufficient stroke equipment to be one of the most promising players in the coun- try. When Frank decided to come east thiC year for a whirl on the big-time circuit, he asked Hudson to come with him; made Hudson pledge that he would accompany him every step of the way.
 Hudson, paying his own way, left the coast with Kovacs early in June The two-pupil and coach-went tc tournaments in Kansas City, Chi cago and Cincinnati. They roomed

By HUGO HOOKJAB

Fair and warmer weather, a fin, program of fisticuffing, plenty oj seating capacity and every i1dica. tion of pleasant evening came to. day with everything in readiness for another bill of battling booked for tonight at Randolph -Clowes Stadium, starting at 8:30 o'clock. On paper, the card looks like a master piece of matchmaking with Tommy Ciarlo, state lightweight champion from this city meeting Irish Johnny Hayes of Bridgeport for the thiro time. Beth their previous boutt were crammed full of action thougE Hayes was the winner.
 Rested for two weeks and trained perfectly, Ciarlo gets his last crack at Hayes tonight. It should be a whale of fight all the way. al Ciarlo will make Irish Johnny fight every minute--or hold on.
 Ather bouts with excellent pros. poets include: 4r
 Dick Turcotte vs. Johnny
 Chris of Brooklyn, N. Y.
 Red Moffett, Devon vs. Jackie

 Johnny Devore, Bridgeport vs
 Joey Marcus, Windsor Locks.

 Billy Perrin, Bristol vs. Eddie
 Sampson, Brooklyn, N. Y.
 Debut
 The New York boys are making their first showing in this city and come well-recommended, but their work in the ring tonight and the fans will be the best judges of theif ability, and decide whether or not they will show here again before the season is over. Chris. a coloret boy, is rated well able to handle strong southpaw slugger such as Turcotte, while the local lad is ou for that old knockout, as a warm. up for his coming fight with Danny Houlihan set for next week Thurs. day.
 Well-Known
 Moffet, Pazden, Perrine, Devore, Taylor and Tarello are all known quantities while Pat Casey of Hart ford and Jimmy Strong of Bridge. port ought to put on battle fea- tured by Slugging. Casey is the boy who got TKO over Irish Johnn. Hayes in Bridgeport when the lat ter's eyebrow was cut in a fall iron the ring two weeks back. With the return Turcotte- Houli- han natural" coming on the heels of tonight's program, the first six rows already sold out for boti shows, 1t seems the promotorial firm of Mulligan, Dance and Kelly is in for even bigger and better things than has come their way for the past month or more.

 Chicago, Aug. 4.-(UP)-Pace. makers who can win on the roac usually blossom into pennant. win. ners in October. That's why the ma. jor league situation today pointed to the New York Yankees and Pitts burgh Pirates as likely world series rivals two months hence.
 The Tanks continued their high ly successful western junket yester- day while the Pirates stepped ur their eastern pace by sweeping a double header from the Boston Bees Whereas the Tanks and Pirates have proved their ability to win on the road, their two nearest rivals, the Indians and Giants, slumped in their last intersectional road excursion falling to live up to their form at home.
 Going On High
 Pittsburgh, showing no signs of cracking under the pressure Of lead ing the National League, blast ed the Bees, 9-4 and 5-3, to increase it's lead to 5 1-2 games over the Giants. Al Todd, with hits, led an l8-hit attack on Turner and Hutch inson to win thes opener. Arky Vaughan and Paul Waner, with a pair of hits each paced the Pirates l0-hit attack in the nightcap. Cy Blanton and Joe Bowman were the winning pitchers.
 The New York Giants turned loose home run barrage on the Chicago Cubs to win, 8-3. Mel Ott hit No. 24 and Mancuso, Bartell and Seeds also hit round trippers Harry Gumbert with relief from Dick Coffman scored the victory.
 Cincinnati moved into a third place tic with the Cubs by trimming the Phillies 6-3, in 10 innings. Ival Goodman's 27th homer with a mate on base featured the Reds three run rally in the tenth.
 The St. Louis Cardinals nosed out Brooklyn, 3-2, in a 10-inning night game. Pitcher Bill McGee's double a wild throw by Bill Posedel and Terry Moore's single accounted for the winning tally.
 Rookie Joe Gordon's 14th homer climaxed three-run rally in tho eleventh, giving the Tanks To-, victory over Detroit and increasing New York's American League leae to two games.
 Not So Good
 The Boston Red Sox divided a pa with Cleveland winning the opener 4-3 and then dropping the nightcar 8-6. Cleveland fans gave Earl Aver. i'll, American Leagues leading bats. man, a car and he hit triple in the opener and single in the second game. With 80 lead in the night. cap the Indians almost tossed the game away before Bok Teller squelched rally after six runs had scored.
 The Philadelphia Athletics wal loped the Chicago White Sox twice l4-2 and 13-5. Bob Johnson hil homers No. 19 and 20 in the lst game Wally Moses had a perfect day, 4 for 4' in the opener and Earl Bruck. CT did the same thing in the after piece. one of his four hits being a homer. The As made 18 hits in the first game and 16 in the second.
