Cummings Gets Final Chance With Dougwillo

With the six round professional glove duel featuring Bobby Cum mings of New York and Johnny Dougwillo of Marlboro, Mass, head lining the card, Waterbury A. C.. officials were again prepared to pre- sent bang-up semi-pro and pro- fessional boxing show Thursday night at Randolph-C Cloves stadium. Given good weather, the show may draw as many os 5000 customers as Shelton, Naugatuck, Bristol and New Rochelle, N. Y, is represented on the card which is well-balanced from top to bottom.
 Bad Luck
 Cummings met Dougwillo in Wa terbury three weeks ago and was the proverbial mile ahead" going into the sixth and final round as 1t was a case of Dougwillo having to stop Cummings to win. Stop him, he did, for a cut opened over one of the colored boys eyes with less than 8 minute to go, but the referee halted to go, due to the size of the gash, giving Dougwillo, a lucky TKO victory, as the Bay State bat tier, who has since beaten the sup posedly able Irish Mickey Donahue of Stamford, was taking quite a drubbing up to the time of the accident to Cummings eyebrow.

RIGGS FAILS TO SHOW EXPECTED
 TOURNEY CLASS
Nearly Beaten Yesterday /; Big Test Today With
 MullOy; Cooke FlOps
BY JACK CUDDY United Press Stan Correspondent


 Rye, N. Y, Aug. 9-(UP)-Eyes of the tennis world were focused squarely upon playboy Bobby Riggs, Amerioa's big Davis Cup question mark, as he faced Gardnar Mulloy of Miami, Fla, in today's tiArd round of the Eastern Grass courts tennis championship.
 There was feeling among writers and officials that today's contest with Mulloy on the lush lawn of the Westechester Country Club would provide a definite tip-off regarding what help Uncle Sam can expect from Riggs in defending the cup in September.
 Riggs, who was No. 2 singles play CT in last years successful cup de- fense against Australia and who is regarded as the main-stay this year in the wake of Don Budge's plunge into professionalism, played uncer- tain tennis in the first two rounds of the current tourney.
 Both yesterday and Monday he dropped sets to lads rated hardly good enough to carry his racquets. Not only did he drop the first set yesterday to Chester Murphy of Chi cago. but he almost dropped the match.
 The womens singles presented . mild pre-view of the British Amer ican Wightman Cup matches late this month. Feature international encounter among the gals brought together statuesque, blond Alice Marble of Beverly Hills Calif, and Valerie Scott of Great Britain. Miss Marble is Wimbledon and National champion, and Miss Scott is seeded sixth among the foreign stars in this tourney. The winner will ad- vance to the fourth round.
 Mary Arnold of Los Angeles, pos- sible doubles player with the Amer ican Wightman Cup team, meets Mary Hardwick of Great Britain, No. 3 among the foreigners. Helen Bernhard of New York, seeded fifth, and almost a certain Wightman player, was matched with Mrs. s. H. Hammersley of Great Britain, No. 1 in the foreign group. And Pa tricia Canning of Alameda, Cal, another Wightman hopeful and sev- enth seeded, tangles with the top- seeded foreigner, gorgeous Kay Stammers of England.
 Bob Kamrath, the tall Texas U. senior, who provided the tourney with its biggest upset yesterday the elimination of Elwood Cooke, Davis Cup hopeful from Portland, Ore.-was matched today with Nor- man Bickel of Chicago. Yesterday Bickel put out the last of the seed- ed men foreigners by downing Lad islav Hecht of Czechoslovakia.

ASTRA 3 TO 10 CHOICE
 FOR BIG RACE
Trotters Go for $4O,OOO Prize Money at Goshen
 Today
BY JACK GUENTHER Limited Press Racing Editor)

Goshen, N. r., Aug. 9.-(UP)- The prize jitterbugs of the racing world - 1o- high-stepping, fancy striding three year-old harness horses-met today under a spread of sultry sky in the wooded back land of New York state for the 18th renewal of the Hambletonian Stake, annual corn-cob derby of the sulky circuit.
 Named for the sire who is grand daddy to 95 per cent of the trotters in America, the Hambletonian al- ways has been classic among coun- try carnivals, but the one held today against the pastoral panorama of good time track threatened to top 'em all. The weather was threaten ing and the chance of 8 fast track was only fair, yet city slickers from miles around swelled the town to 15 times its normal population of $500.
 There was prize money of $40,00O waiting for the colt or Ally who could lead the others home around the triangular strip of loam without breaking the mincing gait that char acterizes a trotting horse from his running mates, and there were 50,- 900 people-apparently all septua- genarians-crowded under canvas canopied grandstands to watch the lucky one do 1t.
 Native or stranger, there was one favorite for all. That was Peter Astra, a $3,500 colt who has scored four consecutive triumphys without losing heat and who has been backed down to 3-10 in the space of A hours to close at 8 shorter price than even the fabled Grey hound, who carried away the flow CTS and fortune in 1895.
 At those odds, Peter Astra was all alone. The nearest thing to him was shaggy-maned number named Gauntlet, who carries the silks of c. W. Phillis of Greenwich, Conn.,, runner up to the big boy on four oc- casions this years. Gauntlet was 5 to l, and as trotting horses go the prices of the others were long and their chances proportionally slim.
 Hobby Horse farms Sir Walter was 10 to l, the same as w. H. Strange's the Abbot. Back of them came Hanover farms Cherry Han- over at 12 to J. c. Lang's Voltina, 25 to 1 A. F. Williams Ned Abbey, IS to E. Roland Harriman's Bag piper, 2 to l; Hanover's Spud Han- over. IS to 1; and Joseph Burke's Leemite at the same price.
 The white-haired bookies swarmed the ramps in their quest for wagers but of Peter Astra money they were cautious. In some transactions = when the visitor looked just a bit ripe-the odds on the favorite went as low as 1-10. Along the same line, a sharp bargainer could get bit of an overlay on the others.
 The race will be decided by the best of three mile heats. The post time of the first heat is 3 p. m, EST.

Scannell won his fifth game out of six starts and al- lowed the Collies only six scattered hits. Darlington, the losing pitcher, was nicked for fifteen solid hits. J. Brennan's big bat continued to con- meet, getting four out of five to lead the attack. The hitting and fielding of Jim Donahue, T. Laden and Scully also featured in the triumph. Capt. Kenny featured for the losers.
 John Holihan's Wolfhounds will meet Ray Divers Daschunds to- night at 6:30 sharp to decide the winner of the second round.

MAKING WEIGHT IS HARD TASK
 FOR CHAMP ION
Will ''DecIare Himself" Next Week - Wants to
 Fight for Welter Crown
BY LESLIE AVERY ,~ ~sknL D,o.- Ctn e rnr,nywo,.I Ia {

(Un1ted PreSS Stan COrreSpOndent)
 New York, Aug. 9-(UP)-Shed- ding weight has become so diff cult for Henry Armstrong that to- day he considered abandoning his second world boxing championship the 135-pound lightweight title and extending his realm to a high- CT division.
 Armstrong won three titles-fea- therweight, lightweight, and welter- weight--over 10-month period in 1937-38. He relinquished the 126- pound featherweight crown because of inability to make the weight last September.
 Scheduled to defend the light weight title against Lou Ambers in less than two weeks, the little Negro scrapper is more than. six pounds overweight, and unless he,is able to shed the necessary poundage with out endangering his health, he will forfeit the 135-pound tiara to Am- bers and ask that he be allowed to defend the welter title instead.
 Even if Armstrong can make the weight for his Aug. g scrap, 1t prob- ably will be the last time he will fight as 8 lightweight, because his manager Eddie Mead realizes it is only question of time before he will be much too heavy for the class.
 Henry has laid off longer than any time within the past three years," Mead said. "He hasn't fought since he beat Roderick in London last May. realize there is no use in forcing him to make too low weight, and there is no reason we can't make the welterweight class just as popular as the lightweight.
 Armstrong has been in training for 10 days at Pompton Lakes, N. J., and he has reduced but 3% pounds. He weighed IA when he opened his camp and he scaled Al IA yester. day after Q two-mile sprint and three fast rounds of boxing with Frankie Wallace, the veteran Cleve- land boxer.
 If Henry does not come close to the lightweight figure by Sunday, Mead will not ask him to continue reducing and will 50 inform the boxing commission Tuesday.
