RIGGS, PARKER
 FAR FROM GOOD
 DAVIS CUP. FORM
U. s. Tennis HopefuIs Have Narrow Squeak at
 Westchester
BY HENRY SUPER United Press Staff Correspondent


 Rye, N. r., August 8. - tUP) - The Davis cup may go for long sea voyage this year unless couple of young men who'll probably de- fend 1t for the United States settle down and play some real tennis dur ing the next few weeks.
 On the basis of play this season, 1t looks like Bobby Riggs, the Vim bledon champion, and Frankie Parker will be called upon to repre- sent the United States in the chal- lenge round next month at Philadel- phia, undoubtedly against Australia s strong team.
 Both are playing at the eastern grass courts championships here at the swanky Westchester Biltmore Country Club, and the tennis they turned in yesterday In their opening round matches was not the kind you'd expect from a couple of Davis cup candidates.
 Riggs, notorious for his clowning, almost blew a decision to Leonard Hartman, former Columbia Uni- versity Captain, and Parker had to fight to eliminate Robert Kerdasha, of Wocdcliff, N. J. Of the two, Riggs had the most narrow escape.
 Hartman, an unorthodox player with reputation as Giant Killer" ran through the first set, 6-4. Riggs was trying, but he couldn't cope with the strange style of his oppo- nent, particularly at the net
 In the second set, Hartman held Riggs to two-all before falling be- hind and losing 6-3. By the third set, Riggs shots were clicking, but he need edalmost an hour and a half to triumph. and as several ex- pcrts put 1t, you can't ritter away points like that in Davis cup com petition and come out ahead"
 Parker scored a 60, 6-4, victory over Robert Kerdasha of Woodcliff, N. J. But the score doesn't tell the story. Parker played methodc- ally in the opening set and returned all of his opponents hard shots with ease. But, after winning the first two games of the second set, Parker began to experiment with his new est forehand, coming in behind serv- ice and trying to force the issue. He lost three games in a row before going back to the baseline and talk ing the match.
 Otherwise, play yesterday went according to form and the seeded list suffered only one casualty in the mems division - top-seeded foreign entrant Charles Hare of England who dropped decision to David Freeman of Pasadena, Cal.
 In the women's singles, the field will spend the day catching up with defending champion. Alice Marble, Kay Stammers of England, and Pa tricia Canning of Alameda, Cal, all of whom drew first round byes and won the second round engagements.

ELMER HAYDEN, STULHDREHER TO
 COACH ALLSTARS
Bad Luck Has Followed Job; Ducky Pond Lacked
 Enough Votes
BY STEVE SNYDER United Press Staff Corresponds

(Un1ted PfcSS StaH COrrcSpondent)
 Chicago, Aug. 8.-UP) )--Elmer Layden of Notre Dame laid himself open today to ;he meanest jinx in football by accepting the offer of six million fans to coach an all-star team against New York's world champion Giants the night of Aug. 30.
 One thing about this jinx-nobody escapes. Misfortune caught up with all five of Layden's predecessors the season after each served as all-star coach, and every National League champion that bucked the All-Stars for charity lost its world title in the spot cash league before the year was out.
 Layden may fare better. He had the best Notre Dame team last sea- son since the golden days of Rockne and early reports from the Irish capital say there is more where that came from.
 Elected with Layden were four as- sistants from the Big Ten, the east, south and far-west. Harry Stuhl- dreher of Wisconsin, teammate of Layden in Notre Dame's famed Four Horsemen backfield of Is years ago, Carl Snavely of Cornell, Maj. Bob Beyland of Tennessee and Edward P. tSlip) Madigan of St. Mary's will greet a squad of 68 college players next Saturday for the first of IS days preparation.
 Notre Dame packers in every sec- ton of the country rolled in votes for Layden and he moved into the lead after the first batch was count cd. His total of 5,127,888 points in- cluded 1,247,916 first place votes.
 Stukldreher was second in total points, but barely defeated Hal El- ward of Purdue for the one coach- ing job allotted the Western Confer ence. Stuhldreher had 2,9l8, ,150 points to Elward's 2,742,063.
 Lynn Waldorf of Northwestern, Dr. Eddie Anderson of Iowa and H. O. (Fritz) Crisler of Michigan were among the Big Ten leaders.
 In the east, Snavely finally won out over another of the Notre Dame horsemenJimmy Crowley of Ford ham. Snavely boiled 1,150,907 to Crowley's 820,478. Ducky Pond of Yale and Columbia's Lou Little were next in line, but far behind the leaders.
 Maj. Neyhland, who brought the Orange Bowl championship to Ten nessce, swept the south by more than million points. His organized votes totaled 1,496,335 to 2l0,399 for Dana Bible of Texas and 195, ,208 for Bernie Moore of Louisiana State.
 Far west voters fell in line with Slip Madigan over Tiny Thornhill of Stanford and Buck Shaw of Santa Clara. Madigan drew 894,275 points, Thornhill 565 ,569, and Shaw 490,375.
 This will be the fourth season the Notre Dame style of play has been selected for the All-Stars. Noble Kizer of Purdue gained a scoreless tie with the Irish system in the opener against the Chicago Bears in 1884, Frank Thomas Of Alabama lost to the Bears with 1t the following year, and Gus Dorais of Detroit beat the Detroit Lions in 1887.

D|NAP0LI TO DEMAND ALL
 NEUTRAL BOARD
Protested Game to Be Dis' cussed at Special BAG.
 Meeting Tonight
BY JOHN A. CLUNEY

Unless Manager Eddie DiNapoli can get President Raymond Tram of the City Amateur baseball league to stretch a point and name a completely neutral protest board of five men, the burly Brooklyn A. c. manager insists he will withdraw his entry from the leaguge immed- lately. To that end, special meet ing of the Brooklyn A. c. members has been called for tonight at 7;3O o'clock by President Mike Sasso to take official action upon tl.e pro- test insofar as claims of the B. A. c. manager are concerned, and to give him authority or instructions relative to the immediate future.
 Hot WO4 ds
 Last night, DiNapoli came to the City Amateur League meeting at the YMCA and after heated dis cussion of the merits of the B. A. C., protest relative to pitcher Decker of the North End Thomas Club, Pres ident Tram brought about a wind up by declaring that he would follow the league rule and name protest committee consisting of the four league officers, Pat Doran, Mike Higgiston, Johnny Rock and himself plus an "outsider" to hear the Brooklyn protest against the Thomas Club 5-3 victory week ago Sunday at Hamilton Park, whcih began with a potential nome run" hit by Eddie Mack, Brooklyn second baseman who missed touching third base, went back and stayed there, claiming that Umpire Bill Stanton's action of waving his arms kept him on third base.
 In Or Out?
 Manager DiNapoli claims an au- tomatic home run for Mack as the ball went out of the park, under wire fence and was tossed back to BoroWay, Thomas Club outfield- CT, by spectator. DiNapoli has photographs of the fence and stone wall inside of 1t, where the ball landed before 1t went out of the park. The ground rule in the league calls for an automatic home run If the ball IS hit out of the park to the left of the painted mark CT in right field.
 The contention of the Brooklyn manager in asking for five neutral men to hear the protest, instead of four league officers and one "out- slider" which the league rules call for, Is that some Of the officers are prejudiced against his claims and are already determined to vote against his team.
 In the meantime, President Tram intends to follow the league rule in the matter of protests and will call meeting this week if possible. If that happens. DiNapoli says his team is out of the league, pending official action of the Brckolyn A. c. members at their meeting to- night.

Sullivan And Brennan Gain
 At Thomaston

Joe Sullivan, flashy Brass City netman, ran into bit of trouble in his early-morning match yesterday with Bradley Bates of Hartford yes- terday at the Pine Hill tournament before he conquered the Dartmouth freshman 8-6, 6-l. Bates started well and took Sullivan off his feet for time, but as soon as the Fulton Park finalist smoothed out his game and got his smashing overland shots clicking, Bates began to fold. The second set showed Sullivan in his best form, and he ran the set out quickly. This victory for Sulli- van, seeded third in the Clocktown tourney, earns him the right to meet Wifi Meyer, Bristol speed artist who entered the third round by defeat- ing Joe Daly on Sunday. This match which should be one of the liveliest of the meet is scheduled for 200 o'clock this afternoon.
 Easy Win
 Matt Brennan, Brown University star and Sullivan's partner in the double, won a quick victory over Charles Larkin, Middlebury player, 6-2, 6-2. Brennan's service has gained power as well as twist, and serves him well in spots which would be tight otherwise. It did him little good, however, in the doubles match which he and Sullivan lost to the Bristol pair. Ralph Strong and Gus Funk, after a long and ex- citing battle 5-7, 6-3, 6-2. Both of the Bristol men arc splendid at the net, and once they had gained the volleying position. the points were usually theirs. Sullivan and Brennan managed to keep them in the back court during the first set, and out maneuvered them to win 1t. but not so in the remaining two sets, for Strong and Funk forced their way in and raked the opposition with sure winners.
 Other scores for the day were as follows:
 (Mens singles): H. Cieslewski de- feated c. Osterman 60, 6-l.
 (Mens doubles): J. Makepeace- c. Larkin defeated G. Shove-W. Mann 6-1, 60.
 (Women's Singles): Josephine Rossini defeated Peg Jay 6-1, 6-3; Lenore Gauvin defeated Ann Fos- ter 6-2, 6-2. The match between Stella Pocoski and Mary Warzinski was called because of darkness after Mrs. Warzinski won the first set 7-5 and Miss Pocoski the second 6-3.
