4 3 THE SPRINGFIELD UNION, SPRINGFIELD, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1937 18 THE German Turn Tennis Back Star Hal Pushed to Surface Four Sets to UNION'S Milton to Bradley Mohawk Toymakers Giants' Drop Tossers 4-3 Decision SPORTS Von Cramm Makes Great Recovery to Win Match Hal Surface Gives German Net Star Plenty of National Singles but Finally Loses, 8-6, 7-5, 3-6, 7-5 FOREST HILLS, N. Sept. and a few threatened explosions before it reached the dynamite, tional singles championships 8 record early-day crowd of some Fine Tennis on Display When the final stadium match brought Defending Champion' to Alice Marble home A winner and into there had been a great deal of fine tennis on display, a pr of matches that thrilled the holiay customers, but no genuine upsets. Four matches in the men's division or a time gave gate-conscious offirials a headache and the customers heart-throb. One of them again featured Baron Gottfried von Cramin, Germany's firstseeded foreigner and the man everyone expects to see go up against Don Budge, the Oakland (Cal.) sorrel-top, in the final round.

four sets to eliminate Don McNeill, Last Saturday the baron had to. unseeded youngster from Oklahoma. Today he struck another Midwestern snag in curly- haired, Gibraltar-jawed Hal Surface, sixth-seeded American from Kansas City, and again had go four sets. The baron, in fact, did more than that. Leading by two sets to one, fell behind at 1-5 when they returned to the stadium court after the intermission.

But then, with Surface driving for the set in hig own service, German scored a break at love, blistered and blasted his way through five more games and pulled the set, the match, out of the fire, 8-6, 3-6, 7-5. He displayed all the brilliance which he has built an international reputation in that closing drive. Surface could score only six points in last six games to 26 for Von Cramm, who polished off the engagement with this third straight break of the stubborn Missourian's service. By the time he had completed his breath taking rally, he had driven out of the spectators' minds all remembrance of third-set slump, when a faltering forehand brought repeated errors. Now Meets Great Bitsy Grant, a fourth -seeded American who will meet the baron in quarter-finals on Wednesday, had scramble from the brink of elimination to wipe out.

Wayne Sabin, Hollywood lad with the weight-lifter's legs who captured two of the first three sets. The scrappy little Atlantan, giving himself A pep talk all the way, proceeded to run Sabin into the ground in the closing stanzas to win at 6-2, 4-6, 5-7, 6-1, 6-1. Joe Ilunt, Los Angeles blond who! ranked fifth, and black-haired, squareshouldered Yvon l'etra of France, who tomorrow meets Budge, also had work their way through five-set struggles. Hunt dropped the two sets to Owen Anderson, a follow nian, then came back strong to score at 1-6, 5-7, 7-5, 6-0, while Tetra, matched with Gardnar Mulloy of Miami, was carried to. 7-5, 3-6, 6-4, 3-6, 6-0.

Budge, Frankie Parker, Jiro YamaFishi of Japan, Sidney Wood, unseeded former "boy wonder" and 1935 runner-up; Johnny Ryn and Charles Harris, unsecded contender from West Palm Beach, went into the round of 16 the upper half of the draw with Petra and Hunt, after scoring what were, in each case, comparatively easy triumphs. Bobby Riggs, seeded second and shooting for the same spot in the 1937 first 10, moved into the lower round of eight with Von Cramm and Grant. As his quarter-final opponent he will have the winner of A. match between Merrimon Cuniggim of Nashville, and Charles Edgar Hare of England. That engagement postponed because of Hare's illness.

The defeat of Surface and Riggs' casually paced elimination of Fumiteru Nakano, sixth-seeded foreigner from Japan, at 3-6, 7-5, 6-3, 8-6, were the only breaks in the men's seeded ranks. There were four In the women's ag Ming Marble and Helen Jacobs, former champion from Berkeley, and PoMah Jadwiga Jedrzejowska and Chilcan Anita Lizana, the four principal contenders, all scored in straight sets. Senorita Lizana accounted 'for one with a deft 6-4, 6-2 victory over CaroIin Babco*ck, Los Angeles brunette, ranked seventh. Miss Marble accounted for another by her 6-1, 7-5 conquest of Margot Lumb of England; Mrs. Marjorie Van Ryn of Austin, for a third with a 9-7, 7-5 licking administered to English Freda James, and husky Dorothy May Bundy for the fourth with a marathon 11-9, 4-6, 6-3 defcat of Marie Luise Horn, the German girl who was fourth on the list of favored invaders.

Miss Marble, Miss Bundy, Mrs. Van Ryn and Miss Lizana occupied the quarter-final brackets in that order. In the upper half and meeting tomorrow in order are Miss Jacobs and Joan Ingram of. England, Gracyn Wheeler and Kay Stammers of England, Mrs. Dorothy Andrus and Ruth Mary Hardwick of England and Miss Jedrzejowska and Evelyn Dearman of England.

Miss Stammers defcated Katharine Boston, 6-2, 6-2. Budge, who hasn't had enough opposition to provide any sort of test as yet, lost only two games this afternoon in running down Joe Abrams of Now York at 6-0, 6-1, 6-1. Tomorrow, with the Tetra on the other side of the not, Californian may have to exert himself a bit. There was not single deviation from form in the veterans' competition, AS second-ranked Cedric A.

Their rivalry stretches back to a night in Madison Square Garden in 1933 when, before a crowd of more than 20,000, Makar won the Golden Gloves welterweight championship from Jessurun after a bitter fight.

Now, each at the ripe age of 22, they will meet again. Jessurun whipped Cocoa Kid, welterweight champion of New England, here twice. He has also defeated Frankie Blair, conqueror of Saverio Turiello, and Sonny Jones, Canadian champion, and Bobby Pacho. His success is based mainly on his raking of punches at short range. lIe likes to burrow his head an opponent's shoulders and beat on his body like a boy beating a drum.

He likes to walk in, and pull the trigger as he walks. His style of Aghting is so eminently satisfactory that he has appeared in eight main bouts here in a. professional career of slightly more than two years. Makar, too, started his big push here. Before coming here, his princi- pal achievement was to draw with Teddy Loder, but in the last 10 weeks, behind a barrage of furious Asts, he has scored four decisive victories here, his victories being over Charlie Gordon, Wildcat O'Connor, Frankie Kid Bruno and Frankic Britt.

The jolter from Jersey is a terrific puncher and it will be on the authority that he carries in his right hook and left cross that he plans to fight his way to his Afth, consecutive local victory, The bout has the experts hemming and hawing in a body. Makar unment, but Jessurun is busier at close doubtedly carries the heaviest a armaquarters. Doc Bagley, manager of Gene Tunney and Willie Jackson in the mustache -cup days and handler of Jimmy Mclarnin in all his Important victories, will arrive tomorrow afternoon and will act, as chief second for Makar.

Down the Sports Trail Down the By Gayle Talbot FOREST HILLS, N. Sept. 6 (AP)-Out where they're clearaway there tennis waste so that Donald Budge finally can win himself the national championship, the most interesting figure about is not the Baron Gottfried Von Cramm, the German artist, or even Jadwiga Jedrzejowska, the larruping Pole, though Jadwiga's quaint custom of inhaling a cold lager before and after matches has attracted considerable admiration.

The lad they're All watching is Bobby Riggs, the 19-years-old from "across. the tracks," who has in one bright summer lifted himself within a bound of the top and made the tennis fathers like it, however, reluctantly. The "Bad Boy" of tennis is on the verge of. being accepted socially, and everybody, including Riggs is enjoying the situation immensely. Riggs is, AS tennis players go, a hard, strong- willed young man.

He's not exactly the kind the tennis tycoons cotton to. He talks rough, in a cracked volce, and says what he thinks at a all times. Don Budge, didn't have any more social or financial background than Riggs had to begin with, but the redhead is naturally quiet off the court and has never given anybody any hack-talk. Therefore, he gets along fine. Riggs just isn't built that way.

Last ycar his California Association wanted him to play in the junior championships. Bobby thought was too good a player to bother with the youngsters any longer, and he refused flatly. "Why in hell should I play with a bunch of kids I can beat?" he asked, logically. "If I'm going to get any better I've gotta play the big fellows." And that's what he did. He came East without any assistance from his Association, and drew further official frowns by telling anybody who would listen that he wAS being black balled because he came from the wrong side of the railroad.

Some of the officials were reliably reported to have been very pleased when Bobby, much to his own surprise, got knocked out of the championships by the veteran Johnny Bush Features The Giants scored their runs in clusters of two, tallying in the second and sixth innings. Milton Bradley, strengthened by the adidtion of Louis Bush, who recently left the Memphis Chicks of the Southern Association to take up the Deerfield High School coaching berth, and Eric Ahlfors of Chester, failed to reach the offerings of the Negro twirlers to any extent. In all the Bradleys made only six hits, Bush collecting one half of them, including a double. He scored two runs and batted in the other. Markham was best for the winners with three hits.

He played anywhere there waS tournament going on, including a few whistle stops nobody ever heard of before, and he developed himself into a powerful tennis player. By the time the Davis Cup squad got back from Europe last montlt Bobby chant chased all the players left on this side into the storm cellars. He had won something like nine out of 10 events during the sumIner, and it took the great Budge, himself, to get off boat and give Bobby a spanking at Newport. And, at that, Don had his hands full. Now the Riggs menace is intent on showing them why should have been on the Davis Cup team.

He is determined to eliminate Von Cramm in the semifinals and get another shot at Budge for the title. Way he's playing, he might do it, too. Somebody asked him if he had yet been advised to keep himself in readiness to answer the call to defend the big cup next summer. "No, but they will invite me," he replied with conviction. Walter Merrill Hall, chairman of the Davis Cup committee of management, indicated that the official Attitude toward the outspoken young preacher's son had undergone a change when he said, handsomely: "Riggs is the type of fighting, aggressive player we are looking for." The most noticeable thing about Riggs from a physical standpoint is his feet.

They are large and they point outward almost at right angles, giving him A waddle something like Donald Duck's. But that doesn't seem to handicap him in getting around the court, and when he hits a ball 1t generally goes where has in mind. LOSE FIRST POLO GAME PITTSFIELD. Sept. 6-The Loudon- ville (N.
