Riggs, Battle Against
Prejudice Won, Set
For Wimbledon
Had to Win Top Ranking
To Gain Support Of
Tennis Bruss Hats
BY GAYLE TALBOT,
Associated Press Sports Writer

NEW YORK, May 19.-Bobby
Riggs, who represents what faint
hope this Nation has of keeping
the Davis Cup from going to
Australia in September, is prepar-
ing to sail for England and the
famous finishing school of tennis,
Wimbledon.
He is being sent by the United
States Davis Cup Committee, along
with ElWood Cooke. to play in the
all-England championships for the
first time.
The two other outstanding candi-
dates for the defending American
cup team-Wayne Sabin and Gene
Mako-are being kept on this side
to play the regular Eastern tourna-
ment circuit.
Overcomes Prejudice.
This is a great personal triumph
for Riggs over the rulers of this
country's tennis destinies. Bopbv
made himself unpopular with the
brass hats from the first wear no
came East. He was hard-bitten and
outSpoken and never made the
slightest effort to smooth the
ruff1ed feelings of the great white
chiefs.
AS result, while the more favored
and amenable tennis sons were frisk-
ing around Londons lawn parties in
their white pants each summer,
Bobby was left home to follow the
bread-and-butter trail. He had to
become the country's first ranking
amateur and its Davis Cup ace be-
fore they bought him a boat ticket.
Riggs Outlook Rosy.
Bobby has an excellent chance of
winning the all-England title in his
first attempt, because Wimbledon is
going to be Woefully short of top
notch talent this year. There doesn't
appear to be an amateur in Europe
capable of beating him, and the
Australians are passing up Wimble-
don again to come directly here and
concentrate on the cup campaign.
1t is understood that Baron Gott-
fried Won Cramm of Germany, who
probably still could lick Riggs, will
not be invited to Wimbledon since
his morals trouble at home. and
Bunny Austin is too much wrapped
up in his own personal pacifist move
ment to bother much with tennis.

NYACK, N. Y, May 10 (NA.NA).
Dom the Omnipotent is willing
to bet couple of elephants and
a toucan that Lou Nova will raze
Max Baer to the ground on June /
when these two heavyweights meet
for the doubtful privilege of fighting
Joe Louis for the championship of

Dom ordinarily is not a betting

Moch;ne-Like Golf Gets Rippy
To Chevy Chase Sen1is; Title
Looms for Mrs. MeckIey

Chevy Chase today saw the last
rounds in the 29th annual tourney
for the Taft and Sherman trophies
and 1t might well be a repetition
OF last years final, although that
was unlikely. Semi -f1nalists in the
first flight were Frank Allan, the
smooth-swinging, dead-panned lad
from Pittston, Pa, against 17-year-
old Bart Yount of Columbia, son of
an Army officer, and steady Spen-
Ger Overton, the medalist, against
Claude Rippy. the immaculate shot
maker from Indian Spring who won
last year.
Allan Steady Campaigner.
The final round, slated at pm,
could well find Rippy against Allan,
although that was not likely. Spen-
Ger Overton, aging and cagy vet
eran, looks like the man to lick.
But Rippy has played three con-
Secutive rounds of the Chevy Chase
course in 72, II and 49,. That nap
pens to be golf good enough to whip
any amateur around this town, or
almost any other town. Allan, a
steady campaigner with a wealth Of
tournament experience behind him,
might win this time.
The black-haired boy from Penn
sylvania has twice been runnerup
for the Taft trophy and it must be
getting tiresome always to be a
bridesmaid and never a bride. If
he happens to click as he clicked to
lick rangy Charley Malone yester-
day he can win. Frank got a hard
working par on the eighteenth to
whip Charley after overhauling him
in stern chase. At one time the
boy from Pittston was down to the
Redskin end, who is going to make
a good golfer when he learns some
Of the tricks and sharpens the rough
spots in his game.

will be done about it soon.

Cont Miss Beating Louis
