Richmond began to roll in the

Janiro must make 149. according to

there doesn't appear to be that much

Kramer in Fine FettIe
For Riggs Match Here

Big Jack Kramer will be out to
continue his rout of Bobby Riggs
Saturday night when he makes his
final 1948 appearance at Uline Arena
in a two-out-of of-three set profess
sional tennis match.
Kramer turned the tables on
Riggs in Madison Square Garden
last night when he avenged an
earlier loss to Bobby there by TAX
ing his 6Oth verdict in 70 starts
against his transforming opponent,
IS, 6-3.
Meanwhile, Dinny Pals Of Aus
tralia defeated Pancho Segura of
Ecuador, 60, 2-6, 8-6, while
Riggs and Pals disposed of Kramer
and Segura, 6-3, 8-6.
Kramer's smashing triumph over
Riggs in the Garden last night was
a far cry from the smashing victory
Bobby scored when they opened
their tour there before more than
$4,000 paying customers last winter,
when Riggs all but blasted big Jack
off the court.
Kramer apologized to his friends
and admirers for his poor perform
ance following that match, but
showed no traces of the stage
fright apparent in his previous in
vasion of the big town as he
stroked smoothly to the decision
last night.

Woodmont, Washington. Chevy
Chase and other clubs scheduled
the match-play tournaments
week after week.
The invitation events IN the
20 and early '30s had some great
local amateur talent. The last
Indian Spring Invitation final
provided the first of the Roger
Peacock VS.. Claude Rippy clashes,
when Peacock crushed the touted
youngster from North Carolina,
7 and 6, to the chargrin and
financial embarrassment of many
of Rippy's public links followers.
Harry G. Pitt, who, of1hand,
must have won more invitation
tournaments than any local
player with the exception of
George Voigt. won the Indian
Spring Invitation at least once,
it was recalled today. Pitt de-
feated Page Hufty in the final
and in another year Voigt de.
feated Fit in the final.
Indian Spring did not keep
plaque of its invitation tourna-
ment winners but a group of the
Four Corners club members were
of the opinion that Peacock won
it a second time. Regardless.
next weeks winner will join some
pretty fast company.
Eddie Ault and his Greens
Committee have performed
careful job of toughening the
course for the tournament with
out affecting the daily play. The
average golfer may not notice
the difference, but out where the
top amateurs hit tee shots the
fairways have been narrowed
and there's going to he a pre-
MUM on accuracy.
The rough is reaching the
knee-high stage in some points,
the pins will be moved back on
the new tees that have been
protected since last fall, and the
host club members think par
will stand up.
Volney Burnett and his Invita-
tion Tournament Committee
have planned a midweek show
with all the trimmings. Wednes-
days 18-hole qualifying round
will be followed by a dinner. The
championship flight of is and
the other flights will play two
rounds of match play Thursday
and the semifinals and final on
Friday. With the exception OF
a gold medal to the medalist, all
prizes will be luggage.

making democracy work. He closed
his address with an appeal for all
