 In this laboratory test of lafrup 1t seems to Dc Q minor issue whether Bunny" can or can't lick his hated opponent, Welterweight Champion Fritgle zivic.
 According to most of the thou. sands of words that have been written about this i2.round non. title return match, the major ques. ton D this: will Brooklyn's bad boy" so herserk again and cause another flear.riot as he did on Nov. ib at Madison Square Garden when he first tangled with Zlvtc7
 Here on the white, breeze.cooled piazza at Madame Bey's camp, Pri- vate Davidoff or Davis assured the press that there would be no repetis ton of the Nov. i6 hurly.buriy in which he was disqualified in the second round for repeated low blows, and for which he was later banned from the ring permanently and nationally.
 Davis--n husky, moor. .faced, slant.eyed lad with curly brown hair--sald, I'm gonna belt thiA Zivics brains out. 1 ate his gutS, I'm out for revenge. His dirty fight: ing in November made me mad and almost ruined me. He'll get whats coming to him this time, but ! won't lose my head. No, won't lose my head, no matter what kind'a tricks that louse tries on me-"
 Army officers, the New York box ing commission, and Promoter Mike Jacobs cooperated in bringing him back to the ring Ion probation" Tn tomorrow nights experiment ct the Polo Grounds, Bummy's conduct will reveal whether these gentlemen were right or wrong in their acticii; also whether Davis will continue fighting for the army fund during tne rest of his enlistment or wheth.

 Apparently the boxing Boswella are correct about this match. The biz question is: Can Bunny keep his head?
The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-06-30
BY HARRY CRIMSON NEA Service Sports Editor

New York, June 30.--Leading ten. his players getting into the summer swing agree on one thing--that Francis Louis Koyacg II is the young man to beat in the national singles at Forest Hills, Aug. 3O.Scpt 6.
 Prank KOvacS has beaten Bobby Ripggg five times this year.
 This may not be important. Riggs rates himself to come on when 1t counts most, but the results give you a rough idea that KovacE IS something more than Q magnificent Hungarian EcrewbalI who drives D.. g. L. T. A. ofiicials nuts with his antics.
 Kovacs has twice repelled Don McNeill, the champion, without loS- ing 8 set.
 Koyacs has more respect for Frank Parker than Riggs or McNeill. This can be traced to Parker re- polling him in the California State linai. Parker has split decisions with Riggs this year, repulsed the little man who walks like duck in the national clay court climax. [.
 Kovacs and Riggs report Parker IS coming east with 6 greatly i'm. proved. game. The ore-tirne Mil- waukee bail boy has worked on It overtime.
 He's a machine, and his rivals de- clare the right parts have been greased at last.
 You've heard this before, but they once more assure you his abortive forehand has been srtoothed out.
 McNeill apparently will have to come long way in @ hurry to figure prominently again. The Oklahoma City collegian hasn't been playing as well as he did last summer while his top opponents are clicking.
 McNell was fortunate 10 take the crown from Riggs last year.
 He performed the feat with an s-6 fifth set, after being down, two sets 10 lcye.
 He played brilliantly. but had to have a lot of good luck to bag the next two sets. The breaks and a couple of decisions that might have settled the match either way went against the defending champion.
 Immediately Thereafter. Riggs
