Riggs Appears Set to Regain National Title; KOvacs Has Everything, But It Isn't Enough; McNeill
 Pulled Tennis Biggest About Face

trouble, but though he quit fooling and played his head of, he was never in the Southampton final that went to Riggs, 6-2, 6-2, 6-3.
 Riggs comes pretty close to being great. Only 8 fault of stopping around in the majority of his matches, becoming careful only when pressed, has hurt the Chica- goan in the past. Bobby has taken a new slant on things, and now doesn't take things easy against any kind of opposition. Consequently, he is more formidable.
 Riggs is the smartest of all tennis players and the slickest counter fighter. Not strong enough to hit hard himself, Bobby makes his pace of his opponent .. 19 straight vic- tories over Gardner Mulloy prove he is at his best against hard hitters.
 Equipped with all the shots, Riggs knows when to use them. He has the best lob in the game and one of the best drop shots. His underhit backhand keeps opponents of bal- ance and out of position.
 Frank KovacS has everything but it isn't enough. His strokes are ter rife, from a stinging backnand on down the line. But the Hungarian seems to lack proper concentration to be a consistent winner ad- mits he's best when playing the Screwball.
 Frank Parker really has turned up with an improved forehand. He beat everything in sight on clay courts, but failed in his first grass test at Sea Bright. The Milwaukee mech- anical man cannot be counted out this trip.
 Don McNeill apparently is in his last days as champion. Though he appears to be rounding into form slowly, his confidence is gone. Nat urally aggressive, the Oklahoman may do another turnabout once he wins an important match.
 Rangy Jack Kramer, national doubles champion with Ted Schroe- der, is the conner of the lot. Needing better backhand and confidence, he is a year away, but is capable Of upSetting the big fellows.
 Go along with Robert Riggs, until somebody shows the bantam rooster can be licked this summer.

New York, Aug. 8.-By this time Bobby Riggs has fairly well put across the idea that he should re- gain the national singles tennis championship at Forest Hills, Aug. 30-Sept. 6.
 Don McNeill hasn't won tourna- ment since he shaded Bobby Riggs in the U. s. final year ago, and the Oklahoma City blond has tried in something like nine.
 Riggs started McNeill skidding by returning his trimming 8 few weeks after the National in the Pacific Southwest in Los Angeles. Bobby had been i'll with a cold just pre- vious to the firing at Forest Hills and, at that, two questionable deci- sions in the fifth set cast him as many vital games.
 Francis Kovacs finally was ex- pected to live up to his potentialties this summer and give all hands

WELTER CHAMP
 JOINS THE NAVY
Boxing Can Wait" Says COchrane as He Signs
 Up With Tunney

New York, Aug. 8.-UP)-Wel- terweight champion Freddie (Red) Cochrane held the distinction to- day of Eeing the first fighter to enlist in the armed forces while still holding his title.
 Cochrane won the championship from Fritzle Zivic in Newark, N J., only last week. He received his selective service notification after the fight and joined the navy yes- terday to help former heavyweight champion Gene Tunney in the navy'S physical education program.
 I've always liked the navy" he said. T wanted to join when Presi- dent Roosevelt declared a national emergency but my manager advised me to wait for a chance to win a world boxing title and that's just what I did.
 "Now my boxing career can wait. Service comes first, of course, but I will say that my title will go on the line whenever my new naval duties. permit"
 Classified
 Cochrane will become boatswain's s mate, first class, as soon as he takes his physical examination and will be stationed at the Norfolk, Va, naval base at $84 month. He has a tennis elbow, resulting from an injury received in a softball game, but he thinks he'll be &C., cepted because Tunney had the same sort of elbow and saw ser vice in the first World War.
 Promoter Mike Jacobs, who staged the Cochrane-Zivic match, said that plans for a return bout must wait for a while but he hopes to bring them together again this year.

 Cody and his kids want the SO0- meter title badly.

lists of titles. Coach Cody will be the most surprised man in the world. After watching them for three years, he is confident that they will knock off the BOO-meter championship and a record.
 Already the 4O0-meter free style relay is credited to the Oregon girls on the American outdoor books. The Misses Zimmerman, Merki, Macrae and Helser splash ed it of in 4:45.T in San Francisco last fall. Ofiicial recognition is still lacking, but the quartet IS sure to get credit for additional American records in the 400-yard free style (indoor) and 440-yard free style (outdoor).

He had not come here without pro-
viding that the horse which waited
under his saddle was fresh and good.
He struck westward now out of Miles

he found broad cross trail where
some random band of cattle had
trampled the snow into trackless
pavement. He turned north in this,
followed it for mile, then swung
northwest over markless snow. Now

DEFENSE INCIDENTS


Out of rs major incidents OF. dam
age' in defense plants last month,
military intelligence authorities
have evidence that IA were caused
by sabotage. The other IL were &C.
cidents.
Of the IA sabotage cases, four
were fires and 10 were mechanical
damage. Two are attributed to
Communists; the others to Nazi
agents. There is no indication that
Communists and Nazis worked to-
gether.
Since the outbreak of the Russo
German war, the Communist party
line has somersaulted. The current
dictum is, no interference with de-
tense output. It is significant that
since the Nazi attack on the Soviets
there has been a sharp decline in
strikes.
However, intelligence agents re-
port that the party has made no
change in it's policy of propaganda
ing soldiers and sailors. This is be-
ing pushed as vigorously as before,
although with little success. In fact,
party generals are so dissatisfied
with results that they recently or
dered labor unions dominated by
Communists to help their campaign
by offering their halls as soldier rec
reation centerS.
Japanese COnsulates.
Another significant development
in subversive influences relates to
the Japanese.
Since the expulsion of the Nazi
and Italian consulates, intelligence
officers have found that the Japa-
nese consulates in Los Angeles and
Seattle have become the chief clear
ing houses for espionage on the West
coast. japanese residents are send
ing in a constant stream of reports
on airplane production, ship move
ments and other military informa-
ton
The recent arrest of two japanese
spies in Los Angeles caused furry
in Japanese quarters, and a num-
Der of Japanese rushed to Wash
ington, apparently to place them
selves under the protection of their
embassy. Others hotfooted for Mex
leo, which may mean they are plan
ming to shift spy headquarters to
Mexico City.
