Great Rally by Riggs
Nips Kovacs, Earns
Sea Bright Bowl
Bobby Uses Every Shot,
All Courage to Take
Five-Set Bottle
BY the Associated Press


SEA BRIGHT, N, j.. July 81
Forced to use every shot in his bag
and to spend his every ounce of
courage, national champion Bobby
Riggs battled uphill for 3l2 hours
today before he could defeat Frank
Kovacs of California in one of the
most brilliant final round matches
of the 53-year- old Sea Bright Lawn
Tennis Tournament.
Riggs, by his resourceful shot
making and refusal to accept de-
feat. finally prevailed by 2-6, O-6,
6-3, 11-9, 10-8.
-Four times Kovacs was one point
removed from victory only to have
the rampaging Riggs pull the game
out.
When the marathon ended with
darkness settling over the court, a
sell-out gallery stood and cheered
while Bobby received the famous
Sea Bright bowl from Holcombe
Ward, president of the U. S. l.. T. A.
Not since 1923, when w. M. Little
Bib Johnston won the tourney for
the third time, has a Sea Bright
bowl been retired Bobby won twice
before, but never after such a titan
tic struggle.
Riggs Makes Great Rally.
While Riggs display of valor was
great, so, too. was Kovacs' spirit.
Such retrieving as Bobby accom-
plished in the two final sets would
have brought despair to many other
opponents.
Repeatedly, when the hard-hit-
ting Californian slashed a diagonal
depth drive across court, Riggs
raced into position to turn it back
winner of his own.
With speed and placements, the
unranked Kovacs stroked his way
to a two-set lead. 1t wasn't until
his rangy foe had established this
big advantage that Riggs buckled
down. quit fencing and played his
best tennis.
Hitting harder and deeper, and
blasting away with his well-placed
service, Riggs took the third set,
6j3. and then the battle reached
it's wide-open stage.
Twice in the fourth set, and twice
in the last, the tall challenger from
Oakland arrived at match point.
Pace Change Upsets Kovacs.
Finally, in the 10Th game of the
fourth set, Bobby broke through
Kovacs' delivery and held his own
to take the set.
Again in the 18th game of the
last set the same thing happened
with Bobby's change of pace and
drop shots upsetting Kovacs.

Clark Scores 8-ond-6 Victory
For u. S. Public Links Title
As Dietz Suddenly Folds

AS the afternoon round got under
way it was evident that Clark knew
whereof he wrote. Dietz, one OF the
most consistent golfers in the tour
nament until today, lost control of
his drives and appeared to press on
his approaches. He won only two
of the last 16 holes and never was
able to start a comeback.
Will Go to Work Monday.
Clark. who sells medical supplies
and hardware, said that he planned
to meet his wife in Milwaukee to-
morrow and be back to work Mon
day morning.
Clark proved a seer not only in
his message to his wife today, but
in a letter he sent to his employer,
Robert Seiberlich, on Tuesday, after
he had completed two nice qualify
ing rounds for a 144-stroke total
Tell the members of my Sunday
foresome that I won't be seeing
them" Clark wrote.
The new champion is the present
st. Paul city champion, the title
being the most important that he
had won before today.
Out Soon at Baltimore.
In the 1899 public links cham
pionship at Baltimore, Clark was
beaten in the opening round of
match play.
On the outgoing nine of the first
round today the new champion
three-putted four greens, losing two
of the holes.
His conquest got under way at the
tenth, when he got home in two
and down from six for an eagle 3, to
square the battle. Two pars and a
birdie gave Clark the next three
holes and Dietz never challenged
again.
"It was the worst nine have ever
played" said Dietz.

and the Buffalo West Sides won
the senior eights and also took club
aggregate honors by compiling 68
points during the three-day meet.
In winning the aggregate, West
Sides dethroned the Toronto Argo-
nauts, who won last year. The
Argos were second this year with
40 points.
Oarsmen from the Detroit Boat
Club finished third with 81 points
Buffalo swept to victory through
sheer weight of numbers. as COM
pared with the war-depleted entries
of Canadian clubs.

through seven firsts. three seconds
and three thirds. Four of the VIC
tories were registered today, the
Bisons winning the senior 140-
pound eights, the senior 140-pound
fours and the senior fours as we'll
as the featured eights event.
Victory in the senior eights
clinched the club title for the Buff
falonians and they were allowed to
take part in that race only through
the good sportsnanship shown by
Hamilton. Leanders and Toronto
Argonauts. West Sides were late
arriving at the starting point and
were disqualified by officials. The
disqualification decision was re-
SENDER. however.
Buffalo led throughout but the
race between the defending cham
pions, Leanders, and Argos was one
of the most closely contested
matches of the regatta. At the fin
ish both crews were four lengths
behind West Sides in a dead heat.
Joe. Burk, rowing under the colors
of Philadelphia's Penn A. c.. had
little trouble in winning his third
successive Canadian singles crown.
He finished an open length ahead of
Theo Dubois of Winnipeg who also
trailed the champion to the finish at
last years regatta.
Burk led from the start and at the
halfway mark led by four lengths.

Razor Blade" Walsh's life away in
self-defense.
Greene, who claims to be a nneal
descendant of Nathaniel Greene,
Revolutionary War hero, declined to
make a statement before the jury,
saying witnesses gave a square"
version of the killing.
Walsh, who, according to testi-
mony. wanted to be lord of the low

noon after he threatened to get
Greene right now" the jury was
told. Detective Sergt. Dewey l..

when Walsh advanced holding his
hand menacingly on his hip pocket,
Greene rushed into his shack and
returned with the antiquated dou-
ble-barrel .28-gauge shotgun from
which the fatal load was fired.
Greene traded an old boat for
the gun some time ago, Sergt. Guest
said, and intended sending 1t to q
