Los Angeles. Using one of his brother
rackets, Bobby quickly caught on to the
strange new game and defeated his brother
the fourth time they played And within one
month after taking up the sport Bobby
entered his first tournament, the Southern
California championships for boys thirteen
and under. The amazing young novice star
tied the tennis world by going all the way
to the finals before meeting defeat. He has
made practice of startling the tennis world
ever since.
But, although he has made good his five
meteoric rise has not been an easy one.
Indeed, know of no one who had more
discouraging start in top-flight tennis than
did Riggs when he made his debut into the
big time four years ago. Bobby, at the time
was the national junior singles champion and
he was scheduled to defend this title in the
annual tournament at Culver. Indiana. But
although he was only sixteen years old, he
felt that he was ready for the best, 50 he
decided he would take fling at the Eastern
the worst losing streak in the history of
tennis.
First off, Bobby lost the good will of the
United States Lawn Tennis Association by
his refusal to defend his title and as result,
the local group wouldn't stand the expense of
his projected Eastern jaunt. So Riggs was
strictly on his own when he set forth 50

bravely from Los Angeles in wheeling
secondhand jollopy.
Two days out from Los Angeles he awoke
in tourist camp to discover that someone
had looted his car and stolen all his clothes
but the sweater and slacks he was wearing.
The following afternoon Bobby stopped at
roadside inn for bit of a snack. 1t was hot
in the steamy lunchroom so Bobby took off
his sweater and draped it over the back of
his chair. A person of keen eye and dull con-
science spied worn wallet in the sweater
pocket and when Bobby went up to the
counter for second helping of pudding the
wallet was lifted, leaving him only few cents
in change. Chagrined, no doubt, but un-
daunted, our hero sold one of his two tennis
rackets and both of his spare tires and con-
tinued on his way.
1t was three days later that this losing
streak came to blazing climax. Bobby lost
the auto. While rafting across the country
side somewhere on the great American plain,
the jollopy gave last gasp, burst into flames
and was gone with the wind
Thus, by the time Bobby reached the Allan

his courage He kept his young unshaven
chin up and embarked on his big-time tennis
career without whimper. He caused quite
a bit of comment by cavorting on the courts
of the swank Seabright club in his rather
worn slacks and sweater. but he made no
excuse and it was not until months later that
anyone learned of the trials and tribulations
of his trip.
1t would be nice to report that Riggs won
that 1895 Seabright tournament, but, un-
fortunately, fatigued by the trying cross
country travel, Bobby was eliminated in the
second round. However, the courageous
youngster gritted his teeth, took firm hold
on himself and cut such wide swath
through the rest of the summer tournament
schedule that when the rankings for the
following year were announced the rookie was
named No. 4 among all the amateurs in this
country.
In his rapid rise since then Bobby has had
to combat more than just tine opposition

defend the Davis Cup against invading
Australia and Bobby Riggs was nowhere to
be found From room to room a posse of
anxious hunters scurried in search of the
star singles player. They looked in his room.
in my room, in the dining room, in the
library. on the veranda.
Already the stadium outside was filling
with spectators, and half the show was
missing. Vanished. The officials were frantic.
They were beginning to conjure up dire
thoughts of kidnapping and such when. finally,
porter found Bobby. He was discovered
~down in the basement shooting pool.
Breathlessly the officials swarmed about
. him, never 50 glad to see anyone. but Bobby
waved them away.
Just minute, he said, ''I'll be right with
you - The number ten ball in the side
pocket
Calmly he sent the ball spinning into the
side pocket. And then, just as calmly, he
went forth grinning to score smashing, and
somewhat unexpected, 4-6, 60, SO, 6-l,
triumph over Australia's Adrian Quist - a
victory that was largely responsible for
Americas successful defense of the Davis
Cup last year.
Now, all of this proves that young Robert
L. Riggs is just about the coolest calmest
young man you will ever meet Nothing
ruffles him. Some people have mistakenly in
terpreted this attitude as being born of con-
ceit Supreme self-confdence might be
better description. He merely knows what he
.can do and it just so happens that he usually
does it, He simply has the belief - and l
share it with him - that no one has anything
on him in amateur tennis.
This coolness and confidence is going to
stand him and the United States in good stead
this week when he leads Americas tennis
forces against one of the strongest challenging
. teams in recent Davis Cup history. The
average player, you know, is nervous wreck
before, during and after the momentous days
of the Cup matches. Why, even after you've
been in several matches you still get alternate
