New York, Sept. 3.-Forty-eight hours before Freddie Cochrane was scheduled to meet Fritzie zivic for the welterweight championship, Luke Carney and e Pittsburgh lawyer showed a piece of paper ull- der Willie Gilzenbergs nose and told him to sign 1t.
 "sign it," repeated Carney, tor therell be no fight"

 When Glzenberg got around to perusng the epochal document he found he had consented to giving Carney e 26 per cent interest in Cochrane.
 That's what we had to give Eddie Mead to get Henry Armstrong in there," explained Carney.
 To get the zivic match, Gilzenberg first had to sign on agreement for Q return match ct weight within 60 days.
 But Gilzenberg, an old hand at refusing to be stampeded, now re- veals he was only giving Carney his autograph, anyway.
 That's an old pugiliStic practice \ giving autographs. That was oil Gene Tunney was doing when he etched his nonicker on the parch- ment giving Boo Hoo Hotf 25 per cent of himself in return for c guarantee of the resulVin Philadel- phia.

 VERY HARD TASK IN NET TOURNEY
Must Defeat Sabin, KOvacs and Riggs to Dodge
 Elimination
By WILLIAM TUCKER

NOMAteu EEeos 6ssn NVEEeSpVHuCnbl
 Forest Hills, N. r., Sept. 3.-(UP) Don McNeill begins suicide schedule today in defense of his na- tional singles tennis championship,
 His quarter-fnals opponent at West Side Tennis club is sixth seeded Wayne sabin of Reno, Nev., who has won no tournaments on the grass this year but is @ well-known stumbling block in the path of fa- voriteS. If McNeill gets by Sabin he will face Frank Kovacs and Bobby Riggs. The tennis fathers in- dicated they didn't believe he was equal to the task when they seeded him behind that pair.
 Tn McNeiIl's favor is the fact that he had very little diflculty in his first three matches and was idle yesterday. Sabin, who is seeded sixth, had an off-day, too, but might feel the effects of his gruelling duel with the Czech, Ladislav Hecht, who forced him to five sets Monday.
 The other quarter-f match on tap tomorrow sends Kovacs, the comical Californian who Is seeded second, against seventh-ranked Jack Kramer. Kramer showed vulner- ability in his narrow escape against Billy Talbert in the second round.
 Betz.Krase Feature
 FlrSt-seeded Pauline Betz, Los An- geles, meets Barbara KraSe, San Francisco, in the feature of the wo- mems quarter finals. Miss Betz was none too impressive in her first two matches but she put on steam yes- terday to defeat Phyllis Hunter, Wa tertow1, s. D., with loss of only two games, 60, 6-2. Miss KraSe reached the quarter finals through Mrs. Vir- ginia Woifenden Kovacs' default tr1 the first round and subsequent vic- tories over ion-ranked opposition.
 Helen Bernhard, New York, rank- ed fourth, and sixth-Eeeded Mar garet Osborne, San Francisco, meet In the other women's quarter final to be played today.
 A pair of great names in Ameri- can tennis supplied most of yeSter- days excitement.
 Decisive
 BitSy Grant, Atlanta, Ga. defled the Seedtngs by busting Gardfar Mulloy, ranked eighth, in straight sets, 6-3, 6.3, 6.2. And Helen Hull Jacobs, whose featS in the last dec. ade include four straight national singles titles, blasted highly regard ed Valeries Scott from the tourna- ment 0.2, 8-0.
 Top-Seeded Riggs in the mems di- vision and Mrs. Sarah Palfrey Cooke, ranked second among the women, moved into the quarter finals with easy wins and do not see action again until tomorrow.
 The quafter-finals will be rounded out tomorrow with Grant against Ted Schroeder, seeded fourth, in the mems division and Miss Jacobs vs. third-Seeded Dorothy Bundy, Santa Monica, Calf. Miss Jacobs Is seeded fifth.
