For Eastern Crown
Alice Marble Reuffirms
Right to Net Throne by

BY BILL WHITE.
Associated Press Sports Writer.

RYE, N. Y. Aug. 12.-Don't let
Bobby Riggs ridiculous duck waddle
and his boyish manners disarm you.
They hide one of the 'shrewdest
brains in tennis.
Ask Don MCNEIL, the national
clay courts champion, who was al
most ready to feel sorry for the sup
posedly slipping national champion
before they took to the courts for
the Eastern grass courts final yes

Don was victimized by Ruby Rob-

because the little guy is able to Wis
ualize every opponents weakness
and is fully able to rise to what
ever occasion presents itself.
Steadiness Offsets Smuggling.
For a slugger like Mcneil the
Riggs brain has figured out the an
swer-steadiness. He covered worlds
of court, returning shot after shot
until Don's durability wore out.
Bobby CANDLES recklessly on occa-
sion-and he never chokes up when
match point is staring him in the
face.
Tennis titans thought they saw
the end of the Riggs rein when
Frank Kovacs almost beat him at
sea Bright and then did it at
Southampton. But as the tennis
tourists headed today for the New
port and Manchester tournaments
they had to admit that there isn't
any one on the horizon who can
wrest Bobby's crown away from him.
Alice Marble Unchallenged.
Spectacular as Bobby was in the
finals, he wasn't in it with Amer

Marble. With the loss of but one

field and crushed what may be the

Breaks Racket
In Ire, Is Beaten

One of the saddest but fun
NEST incidents in local tennis
annals occurred in the early
rounds of doubles play in the
District mems tournament, which
ended yesterday.
1t seems that a young man,
a member of a team with its
back to the wall and at match
point, cranked up to kill an easy
lob with a tremendous overland
shot. With exquisite grace and
form his expensive racket
swished through the air-com-
pletely missing the ball.
Chagrined and outraged, he
pounded the racket on the court.
His partner, meanwhile, had
gone behind him, made a good
return and managed to keep the
ball in play until the rival team
noticed the first player dill
gently destroying his bat.
They tapped an easy shot at
him. He looked up, splintered
racket in hand, Just as the ball
bounced by for the winning
point.

CHAPTER v.
CONTINUED

It occurred to Nancy sudden
ly that he talked of everything
in the world except himself. She
studied him curiously across the
table, trying not to stare. He was
flawlessly dressed, perhaps too
fiawlessly. He lacked that casual,
careless air other men she knew
seemed to have. Certainly he
couldn't be called handsome, with
his heavy, muscular Shoulders, his
! round, amiable, almost stupid face,
and his thick-lensed glasses. Well
no one could call Tom Cantwell
handsome, either. Tom was rangy
and almost awkward. his brown
hair was always tousled. and his
lean, tanned face was downright
homely.
Enough of that, she told herself
sharply. This was her first date in
many weeks, it might be the last
one for long time, and she meant
to enjoy herself.
Shall we dance?"
With surprise, she discovered that
Hugo Blake was one of the best
dancers she had ever known. 1t
seemed so her that she could spin
about the floor with him for
hours, eeffortlessly, like dancing IN
dream. AS the music swept her
into another world she felt all the
cares she had known slipping away
from her. Even her thoughts of

Late in the evening they drove
home slowly along the lake, watch

chanted world, one that had been
created by magic just to exist for
a night, and that would disappear
