Williams, Jonozzo Next Fight
Planned Here; Abrams Earns
Split Verdict Over Cocoa

work against Williams worry-wart
boring-in tactics-something to keep
fans awake nights pondering the
result.
Meanwhile, Menendez. Turner,
George King, Billy Mack, Dave Her
man and Mihitabel, the meandering
kitty, are wondering where they can
dig up another opponent for George
Abrams, the local boy who made
good against Louis Kid Cocoa in
last nights l0-round feature at the
ball park.
Abrams didn't win on our score
sheet, which showed Cocoa ahead
by a slim margin on points and all
even in rounds. but they didn't count
our vote and George got it. Well
say this for him, he made a good
fight of it, made Cocoa extend him
self for the first time in three
matches here. but still didn't appear
as the winner.
Cocoa particularly was aggressive
in the fifth and sixth when he shook
up George with vicious chops and
uppercuts to the head, ore of which
lifted Abrams clear off the carpet.
But he was guilty of a low blow or
two and they were counted against
him. Low blows or not We still
think Cocoa won.
On Georges side of the ledger
we're his aggressiveness, careful and
clever work in the early rounds and
finishing rally which won the sew
enth. eighth and tenth rounds
George punched all the way, but not
as hard and cleanly as his opponent,
who also spotted the District boy
eight pounds Q56l2 to 1882 in
weight.
George Gets Cut Eyebrow.
George emerged from battle with
a cut eyebrow while Cocoa escaped
unScathed. The eye will prevent
Abrams from filling an engagement
with Al Wardlow at Youngstown.
Ohio, August 20. 1t was to have
been a benefit match.
George Shepherd. Cocoa's man
ager, was peeved at the decision and
downright angry when he heard
Cocoa will not be used on the next
show or the next. He's got to get
back in line now and wait his turn.

Hornsby Is Labeled
Manager Of Year
In the Minors

Loop Flag Threat
BY the Associated Press.

bN llle hSSOCldleQ HTeSS.
OKLAHOMA CITY. Aug. i3.-If
there's spot in next years major
league baseball show for the man
ager who turns in the best per-
formance in the minors in 1910,
just wrap it UP for Rogers Horns
by of Oklahoma City's Indians.
They're cahing the Rajah the
manager of the year" in the Texas
League for his trick of transform
ing the Tribe from a seventh
place weakling into a dangerous
pennant contender.
Starts Rise Immediately.
With the cub f1oundering help
lesSly just one notch out of the GEL
lar. Hornsby took over on June 8.
He lost no time in kindling a fire
under the lethargic Indians, and
they jumped clear into the first
division.
They had won only 26 games
and lost 35 when the Rajah stepped
in, but they welcomed their new
skipper with SIX straight wins.
They recently won nine IN a row.
You've got to go the limit on my
ball club said the man who led
the National League in batting seven
times when he walked into the In
dian clubhouse that first day.
Has Youthful Team.
The players found that he meant
it. His team is young. and his
pitching probably is below the av-
erage OF the league. Yet the In
dians have Travelled at a SAL clip
under Hornsby, winning 40 out of "a
games.
There have been rumors that the
man wlo has managed four major
league teams in his colorful career
is set to return to the big time in
1941. AS far as HornSby is con-
cerned, They're still just rumors."

Picking Top Doubles
Team Here Easy as
Making Million
Matters Are So Jummed
Committee May Draw
Names From Hat

Ranking District mems doubles
teams for 1910 promises to be a
task for a modern Solomon unless
something wholly unexpected comes
along to help straighten out the
tangle in which top-yanking COM
binations now find themselves.
Last year Davey johnson and
Hugh Lynch we're ranked No.
ahead of Barney Welsh and Dooley
Mitchell. Third were Jimmy Farrin
and Bill Howard; fourth, C. Al
phonso Smith and Dick Murphy.
Trailing in order were Sam Hayes
and Ray Stocklinski, Allie Ritzen-
berg and Turner, George Herbert
and John Smith.
Situation Badly Scrambled.
This year the matches have not
gone strictly according to Hoyle. In
fact, everything is so topsy- -ulrvy
the committee seriously is consider
ing throwing out all results and
picking 'em from hat. Mitchell
suggested a tournament, to be held
over the coming week end, but this
idea had to be abandoned when it
was discovered that most of the
better players had out-of-town
bookings.
Here's an idea of the muddled
standings. If you can make heads
or tails of it the Rankings Commit
tee is looking for you-that's more
than its members can do:
Welsh and Mitchell won the
mems District title. defeating Far
rim and Howard. Smith and Murphy.
In the semifnals Lynch and john
sen were beaten by the same Smith
and Murphy.
One Upset After Another.
In Middle Atlantic competition
Howard and Farrin triumphed over
Smith and Murphy in the final
after the latter had ousted Mitchell
and Welsh in the semifinals. On
their way to that title Howard and
Farrin knocked off Lynch and
johnson.
Lynch and johnson won the City
of Washington tournament, defeat
ing Smith Murphy and Farrin-
Howard. In the same tournament
Mitchell and Welsh were upset by
Bill Breese and Ed Mather-and
the last couple hasn't been heard
of since.
1t simply goes to show how few
upsets can jam up traffic on the
doubles lane.

McNei|I and Kovocs Loom
As Rious' Main Trouble


McNeill and Kovacs likely are to
be two of the hardest challengers
to overthrow. Either can unload a
bale of trouble on Riggs, who hap
pens to be a high-class competitor
when the blue chips are down.
1t will be a tough battle most of
the way, with at least one or two
upsets to bank on.
Bud Ward is defending his title
in a game in which form is never
as consistent as it is in tennis. Too
many battling turns and twists can
happen in a golf match, especially
at 18 holes.
Ward needed a putting blade that
was smoking hot to beat of Art
Doering of Stanford and Chicago
year ago. This time he will have
such people as Doering, Willie Tur-
mesa, Johnny Fischer, Dick Chap
man, Charley Yates and too many
others to mention at this spot. And
don't overlook big Jim Ferrier, the
Australian star. Keep him in mind.
Ward is a high-class golfer and
also high-class competitor. But
he will be surrounded by young
stars, and older ones, from the
entire u S. map.
The Far West and the South
west-the Midwest and the South
and the East-all have entries
who are capable of playing hot golf
at certain stated intervals.
- DoL r
son Little in the field to open and
keep up a consistent fire. But there
still is a strong, general average
that can scramble things up in an
18-hole merry-go-round.
There have been only few cham
pionS able to come back and win
the next year-including H. j..
Whigham, Walter Travis, Chandler
Egan, Jerry Travers, Bobby Jones
and Lawson Little. The others
have had to abdicate after a year
on the throne.
Winged Foot in Mamaroneck is
q robust test. Its smaller, closely
trapped greens call for long, straight
hitting from the tee and controlled
iron play.
Both tennis and golf should put
on two of the best shows we have
seen in some time.
The tennis crowd will have its
chance to see good matches every
day. The golf stampeders should
look at a flock of scrambles, eSpe-
cially in those 18-hole tests, known
as sudden death" where one or
two missed puts can overturn the
applecart.

Riggs and Ward Face
Hard Row as Champs
BY GRANTLAND RICE,

NEW YORK, Aug. 13 (N.A.N.AO.
Two defending champions. the
same being Bobby Riggs and Bud
Ward, soon will be walking the high
rope of trouble.
In a short while Riggs will have
to defend his tennis crown at Forest
Hills and Ward will be called on to
repel all amateur golf assaulters at
Winged Foot. Both will be on trial
in two of the best matched fields
tennis and golf have known for
many early autumns.
Most tennis champions enter at
even money against the field. 1t
will be different this time at Forest
Hills, where the alert Riggs will
have eight or ten earnest young men
in hot pursuit.
The domination of Tilden, Vines,
Perry and Bulge is over. Their long,
lean shadows no longer rule the
grass courts of Forest Hills as they
did for two decades, or the greater
part of dusty calendars.
Who has the better chance to de-
fend his title-Bobby Riggs or Bud
Ward?
Riggs must finish in front of a
field that will send a number OF
aggressive tennis players into action,
including Don McNeill, Frank Park
er, Frank Kovacs, Welby Van Horn,
Elwood Cooke, Gil Hunt. BitSy

information possible about certain
crimes until. as they claim. the GRIM

the officers and the public about
what ne has done. He Is on his way
the mnutc he can shake the dust
from his lcct and clear out.
Il has always been our contention
ihat the white light of publicity is a
deterrent to crime; that Il man VINO
has violated the law in heIEouS
fashion fears and shrinkS from 1t,
and knows. that il the public has no
knowledge OF his dUings he stands
ten to one better chance of getting
away with it. It is not always easy
10 make the officers see it that way.
But now comes one Of the head
knockers in the business Of running
down criminals to buttreSs the argu-
ment we have always upheld. he
! IS none other than Earl J. Connelley,

admits that the kidnaper Of the de
