Kramer Swomps Riggs Before
Record ennis Gate at UIine's

brought about Riggs demoraliza-
ton.
The final game of the second set
was significant. Kramer, hitting
his lobs shrewdly and his passing
shots sharply, forced Riggs into an
error on the first point. He then
came to net behind his serve for q
backhand yolley that slid along
the green tarpaulin out of Riggs
reach. Another hard serve made
Riggs err for 400 and then Kramer
made a delicate forehand volley
to end the match.
Riggs never had chance to get
his game into top working order.
He tried to stem the tide by tax.
ing the net away from Kramer, but
those tactics proved to be the wrong
ones. His approach shots-es-
pecially his service-were too soft
and Kramer constantly caught him
in the "no-man's land" at the serv-
ice line. Kramer, on the other
hand, was hitting with such pace
that on several occasions Riggs
racket twisted in his hands and he
hit the ball into the ground before
it reached the net. The entire
match took only an hour, short
time for a contest between stars of
this rank.
Rallies Mark Early Match.
The Segura-Pails contest lacked
the hard hitting of the feature
event, but made up for it by long
driving rallies from deep court.
Segura came to the net behind his
service frequently, but on other &C.
casions he fought hard-driving
duels with the Australian before
venturing up forward.
The second set of the Segura-
Pals match appeared to be head
ing for another 1913 contest, such
as they had in their first setto in
Madison Square Garden last month.
Segura, making spectacular serves
and colorful two-handed drives,
broke through Pals to lead 10.
But Pals soon evened 1t, taking
love game from Segura to even the
count at 2-au. From there on until
the umpire announced the match
would end at the finish Of two more
games, the games went on service.
In the 18th game Pals broke
through after 30-all had been called.

Rollers Cautioned
In Star Tourney
By Rod THONGS

Attention has been called to q
number of attempts, either by
design or through ignorance, to
make illegal entry in The Stars
goth annual bowling tournament,
which is hourishing at all maple
establishments in the Washington
area.
One of these presents a new
wrinkle. A mems team, with each
member kicking in with 20 cents,
bought an entry blank with the
agreement that the blank would
be turned in for the member with
the highest score that evening.
The incident was reported and
the blank set aside by the man
ager of the plant. It contained
a score that easily might have
been sufficient to figure in the
prize list. But 1t won't.
Neither will any other ilegiti-
mate tally. In spite Of its thou
sands of entries, The Star tour
nament is one Of the most closely
checked in the country. In four
instances during the 20 years of
the event four top scorers have
been disqualified. In two in
stances infractions of the rules
cost men 81, 900 War Bonds.
Thus. any entrant who fails to
familiarize himself with the regu-
lations, posted at all establish
ments, and abide by them, runs
the risk of great disappointment.
The full handicap system and the
list of 1000 prizes offer every
entry such a glowing opportunity
it is senseless to attempt an ir-
regularity.
High-handicap bowlers con-
tinue to dominate the tourna-
ment, both in numbers and
scores. o. c. Miller of Takoma
holds the mems lead with o.
1872 and Hazel Beck, who COM
petes at Bethesda Bowling Gen.
ter, is high among the women
with 90-439.

NEW YORK, June 12.-National

Two Courts Abso|ved
Taylor in Paternity
Case, Lawyer Says
BY thsAsso IPrsss

PARIS, June 12.-Myron G. Tay-
lor's lawyer says two courts already
have found that Mr.. Taylor, presi-
Dental envoy to the Vatican, is not
the father Of an illegitimate daugh-
ter.
Mrs. Eunice Waterman, IS, OF
Chicago, claimed to be Mr.. Taylor s
illegitimate child in suit filed in
Federal Court here Thursday. She
asked a court declaration that she
was, and $4,000 damages from
Mr.. Taylor and Joseph A. Bennett
whom She accused of conspiring to
keep her status quiet.
Joseph M. fairfield, New York
lawyer, said here last night he had
defended Mr.. Taylor against a
similar suit in New York and Mrs
Waterman had lost that case in the
original court and an appeal court.
Mr.. fairfield said the trial had
been held behind closed doors and
at his request the courts had sealed
the papers.
The lawyer, in Paris on business,
said Mrs. Walterman's claim that
Mr.. Taylor was her father was
found wholly false and without
merit" He said Judge John c.
Knox of the United States District
Court in New York threw the case
out in May, 1947, and was upheld on
appeal by a United States Circuit
Court May 81, 1948.
His story of the case:
Mrs. Waterman said Mr.. Taylor
met her mother, a Harlem theater
cashier named Margaret Nichols, in
New York in the summer of 1911
and vanished on learning the girl
was pregnant. She showed birth
certificate listing him as her father
and giving his age as % when she
was born.
Mr.. fairfield showed that Mr..
Taylor spent most of that summer
on his yacht or on the Maine coast,
where he underwent an appendix
operation, and was 81 then instead

Featherstone Estate
Destroyed by Fire

Featherstone, 23-room home Of
George w. Herring near Wood
bridge, Va, was destroyed in $50,-
900 fire yesterday.
In addition to the main house,
nearby utility house also was
burned to the ground. Firemen
managed to save nearby barn.
The fire recalled a tragedy which
occurred at the house about a
quarter of century ago, when the
former owner. Frank Chambers,
killed himself and his teen-age
daughter took her life after hear
ing of her fathers death.
Mr.. Chambers, a wealthy New
Yorker, had developed Featherstone
into an outstanding dairy farm.
Firemen said they believed the
blaze was started by short circuit.
It burned from about $50 to $3.50
pm. Mr.. Herring and his wife were
home when the fire broke. The five
fire companies which responded
were handicapped in fighting the
blaze by lack of water. The house
was of frame construction and was
situated on top of high hill over
looking the Potomac River.
The Occoquan, Occoquan Work
house, Fort Belvoir, Penn-Daw and
Dtlmfries- Triangle fire companies
responded.
Mr.. Herring bought the estate
after the Chambers tragedy. He has
been operating it as cattle ranch.
He is retired from the Wallace g.
Herring lumber firm in Alexandria
and is a former member of the Vir-
ginia House of Delegates.
