RIGGS IS
TENNIS IRON MAN
IN 17 TOURNEYS SINCE JANUARY
HETHER he plays Davis Cup tennis for the United States or is pushed aside to make way for Sidney B. Wood, Bitsy Grant or Frankie Parker, young Bobby Riggs must receive recognition as the “Iron Man of the
Courts.”
The 20-year-old Californian, who zoomed from nowhere last year to the second-ranking position of the ‘country, has competed in 17 tournaments since the first
of January.
Bobby thrives on punishment. . . . Interviewed the other day at the Seabright tournament, he declared he was in perfect physical condition and ready to make a tremendous fight for the No. 2 Davis Cup singles job.
“Don’t worry about my going stale,” he said.
“1
~ know I've played plenty of tennis, but I can take it. I picked up 10 pounds over the winter and I'm still holding
on to them.” » 2 2

DAVIS CUP officials can’t very well overlook Riggs un- : less he breaks a leg. . . . He has won 12 titles this year, which is a brilliant record for consistency. .. . What’s more, his game has definitely improved since 1937. As though 17 previous tourneys weren't enough, Riggs is looking forward to new campaigns at Southhampton, Rye and Newport. . . . But it’s quite likely the Ameri‘can Cup bosses will order him to take a vacation. Walter S. Pate, team captain, visited the Seabright battleground recently, conferred with Riggs and said he’d decide later whether the No. 2 singles prospect should rest: one or two weeks before the challenge round in September. « « - Now that they have definitely adopted Bobby as a Cup candidate, Pate and company will make certain he doesn’t
become overtennised. ® ® 8

Times Special COLUMBUS, O., July 30.—Having defeated Vance Page, the Indianapolis Indians’ leading chucker, here last night, 5 to 4, in 11 innings, the Red Birds, down in seventh place in the A. A. race, felt a bit confident of getting their heads above water. The teams were scheduled in a .double-header this afternoon and the Redskins will leave tonight for Indianapolis to: meet.the Louisville Colonels in a twin attraction tomorrow. John Niggeling and Paul Epperly were slated to do work on the Tribe mound today. Page received littie batting support from his mates last night. The Indians were held to six hits in the 11 rounds and Page got two of the safeties. Lanier and Tompkins, Columbus pitchers, issued 12 bases on balls between them but the Tribesters were too weak with the stick to take advantage. Manager Schalk benched Bob Latshaw, who is in a slump, and used Milton Galatzer oh first and Carl Jorgesen, rookie, in left field. Vince Sherlock was forced to leave the action in the fourth when he bruised an ankle on an attempted steal. Four Columbus double plays helped hold down the Tribe's runmaking. Two singles and a long fly accounted for the Red Birds’ winning run in the 11th after the Hoosiers tied the count in the ninth at 4-all.

Three Lose on Same Day; Greenberg Is Rolling Along
Titer Slugger Stays Ahead Of Ruth’s Homer Pace By Poling Pair.
y GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, July 30.—Hank Greenberg, the Detroit Tigers’ first baseman, today appeared to be well on the trail of Babe Ruth’s home run record. With 35 homers to his credit, Greenberg was ahead of Ruth’s 1927 pace in which he hit 60 homers. Hank hit two homers, Nos. 3¢ and 35, as Detroit triumphed over the Athletics, 9-2, yesterday. The first came with the bases empty, the second with two men on. If he keeps up his pace for the rest of the season, he will shatter what many critics have said was baseball’s hardest record to break. With Detroit out of the pennant race, Greenberg has a chance ‘ to concentrate on his home-run hitting without too much pressure on him. The Tigers’ sixth straight vice tory yesterday still left them in the second division. The New York Yankees held on to its one-game lead over Cleveland by. knocking off the White Sox, 4-3. The Yankees put on a two-run rally In the ninth to break a 2-2 deadock. Johnny Allen led Cleveland to a 12-to-4 victory over Washington, topping it off with a homer and a double. It was his 13th victory this season. St. Louis and Boston were not gcheduled. In the National League, Philadelphia went 12’innings to defeat the Chicago Cubs, 5-4. The Phils accomplishéd their victory with two out in the 12th when Bill Jurges let a grounder get through him, permitting the winning run to cross the plate. The Bees defeated the Cardinals, 2-1. Johnny Lanning was deprived of a shutout in the ninth when the Cards tallied their run on doubles by ‘Ducky Medwick and Don Gute teridge. The Giants came to life and: defeated the Cincinnati Reds, 5-4, for their second victory in a row after five consecutive losses.
