Netmen Favor Riqqs
To Beat Kovacs in
Final al Meadow
Toss Out Franks Big
Edge Over Bobby in
Tits This Season
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
SOUTHAMPTON, N. Y. Aug. a.
The form chart says Frankie Kovacs
will beat Bobby Riggs today in the
final round of the Meadow Club
Tennis Tournament, but the boys
in the trade are inclined to disagree.
Frank has triumphed over Bobby
five times in seven meetings this
year, although Riggs won the last
time out-a four-set affair four
weeks ago at Indianapolis.
Of their semifnal victories yes
terday, there wasn't great deal
to choose between them. Riggs
dawdled through four sets with
Gardnar Mulloy, while Kovacs
shellacked Ted Schroeder in three
straight.
Schroeder, who lost to Riggs last
week in the Sea Bright Tournament,
thinks Kovacs should beat Bobby.
But the other players installed
Riggs as a 3-to-2 favorite.
Final of the women's tournament
at nearby East Hampton brought
together Hope Knowles, the surprise
contender from Philadelphia, and
Pauline Betz of Winter Park, Fla.
In semiflnal matches Miss
Knowles disposed of 18-year-old
Louise Brough of Los Angeles, rs.
60, while Miss Betz eliminated
Dorothy May Bundy, defending

Charley Horse Stops Aderholt.
Against the White Sox yesterday
Dutch was having an easy after
noon. Not until the seventh inning
did Chicago muster a run against
the portly Highlander, and by that
time the Mats had constructed a
60 lead off Thornton Lee and Bill
Dietrich.
In earning his fourth victory over
Chicago, Leonard was staked TO a
lead in the third inning when
George Case singled to score Jimmy
Bloodworth. who had doubled, and
in the fourth inning the Mats nicked
Lee for three runs on George
Archie's single, doubles by Case and
Vernon and brace of White Sox
errors.
Buddy Lewis triple and Cecil
Travis long fly boosted the Mats
advantage to SO in the fifth and
Washington made its 60 in the
sixth when Bloodworth again dou-
bled and romped across on Jake
Early's single to center.
Chicago's first run was manufac-
tured on doubles by Mike Kreevich
and Luke Appling in the seventh,
but in their portion of the inning
the Mats clipped Dietrich for two
runs on singles by Lewis and Travis,
Vernon's double off the right field
fence and wild pitch.
The White Sox produced tainted
run with two out in the eighth
when Don Holloway singled to right
and Joe Kuhel followed with blow
to the same spot. Kuhel's hit
bounced weirdly over Lewis head,
however. and rolled into q triple,
scoring Holloway.
Sid Hudson was to face Edgar
Smith as the Mats met the White
Sox again today. Third Baseman

Manager Bucky Harris yesterday, is

PHILADELPHIA, August 2.-The
writing boys have started using
choice adjectives to describe the rise
of the Athletics into the American
League first division after seven lean
years, but to willy old manager
Connie Mack it's all very simple.
The key men in the AS drive up
ward are couple of oldsters who
seldom get into games and are
classified as coaches-Al Simmons
and Earle Brucker.
Eyes, I wish had Al playing in
there" remarked Connie. We've
got some good ball players. some who
want to win are out there hustling

the AS a few years ago, always had
knack in handling the twirlers.

The AS having ousted the White

rung as their next objective.

going to stop us?" asks Connie.

By BURTON HAWKINS.

Separated from the American
League cellar by the grace of few
percentage points, the Nationals
nevertheless have fashioned a fond
ambition of surging into the first
division. 1t isn't as far-fetched as
1t seems at first blush. for Wash
ington's seventh-place club is only
seven and half games removed
from fourth place. no impossible
gap with go games remaining before
the season expires.
With the Mats now playing what
more than remotely resembles base
ball, what with having won seven Of
their last 10 games, their prospects
of giving such outfits as Detroit, Chi
cago and Philadelphia a respectable
battle for fourth place can't be in
dexed as a daffy dream.
Washington would be forced to
improve its horrible road record. of
course, for 81 of their remaining
games will be contested in foreign
parks. In their own back yard the
Mats represent a formidable team,
for they have captured half Of the
48 games played at Grifith Stadium.
The Mats haven't been sparkling,
but suddenly they are discovering
some of the other clubs in the league
have been belted down on speaking
terms with them. The Mats be-
havior at home. the collapse of Chi
cago and Detroit and Philadelphia's
recent triumph trend have punched
the last five teams in the league and
they may provide photo finish
for fourth place. Not out Of 1t, but
not regarded highly either, are the

Fourth place would represent a

II and nine games. They have
bounced in and out of the cellar
most of the campaign, but despite
their rude treatment they retain an
opportunity to pick up the few chips
that are tossed fourth-plsce club.
Leonard Aiding Mats.
That chance to capitalize on i'm
proved play and whack up fourth
place money may build fire under
the Mats. Like most everybody else,
the Mats are calculated to show
some spirit for the sake of that ad-
ditional folding green stuff. They
are in a spot to do themselves some
good, financially and artistically.
and they may surprise a few folks
and climb.
Figuring prominently in the Mats
recent conmendable conduct has
been stout Dutch Leonard, who has
captured his last five starts and
wiggled his way above the 500 mark
for the first time this season with
an lilo record Dutch registered
his eleventh win yesterday, trim
ming the White Sox, 81, on eight
hits.
Prospects of Leonard compiling a
respectable record despite his sorry
start appear bright, for Dutch
doubtless will start at least dozen
more games this season., II he cap
lures eight of those games. no overly
optimistic calculation, he will be
tabled one of the seasons sue

By the Associated Press.
GIRARD, Ohio, Aug. 2.-The
Nations two top champions teed of
today in a torrid 72-hoie battle for
golfdom's unofficial world title. with
blond Craig Wood the fsvorite over
swarthy Vic Ghezzi.
Winner of the National Open and
Masters tournaments, Wood was
given an edge in the $4,000 winner
take-all match out of respect for
his experience, powerful drives and
long-range irons.
Ghezzi, who surprised the experts
by beating Byron Nelson in the
P. G.. A. final, based his hopes on a
deadly short game and a magic
putter.
Wood Confident Of Victory.
Wood. who will be 40 this year,
once tutored the 29-year old Deal,
N. j.. star and knows well the task
ahead.
"Vic is at the peak of his game
now" the open king said. "snd he
always was poison with his putter
But the way I am playing now I
believe I could beat any one in the
world If my puts start dropping
I'm liable to wind up with some 62s
in this match"
Ghezzi merely commented, I'm
satisfied with my first trip around"
The pro champion referred 10
Yesterdays tune-up. when he shot a
1-under-par SO. Wood meanwhile
added 68 to his 65 of Thursday.
Corcoran Picks Open King.
Fred Corcoran, who as P. G.. A.
tournament manager probably is the
best informed observer in the coun-
try, picked Wood to win.
Its the long game versus the
short" he declared, land I don t
think Vic's puts can'stop Craig. who
now is playing some of the best golf
of his career"
Rains early in the week softened
the sun-baked fairwsys and put the
course in what was described as
perfect shape"
The 5000 Mahoning Valley Open,
won by Clayton Heafner, was played
over the same layout in June. Wood
shot a 283 then to finish seven
strokes off the pace.
