To Bidwill Was Owner of Chicago Cardinals Boston Wins in 10th After Ted's 4-Baser Ties Score in 9th PHILADELPHIA, April 19 (UP) Harry Dorish relieved Tex Hughson for the second time this season and won his second game as a relief hurler for the Red Sox ace today when Dom DiMaggio singled with bases loaded and two out in the 10th to give Boston a 4-2 victory over the Philadelphia I 1 I Riggs Shows Tennis Fans Why He's Good Kovacs No Match For Brilliant Bobby By BOB DRUM Until the professional tennis ranks can get a player to match the skill of Robert L. Riggs of California, matches will strictly be exhibition affairs. Mr. Riggs is the same Bobby who won fame as an amateur and last year won the world's professional tennis tournament at Forest Hills. Last night at The Gardens, Bobby easily beat Frank Kovacs, a fellow Californian, in straight sets, 6-3, 6-2.

Retrieving Robert was just that and he was content to keep the ball deep toward the baseline and let Kovacs make mistakes. Exhibition of Skill It was a good exhibition of skill Dukes Revive Spring Sports Netmen Will Make Their Debut Friday Spring sports return to the Du-quesne campus this week for the first time since before the war. The Dukes, who resumed intercollegiate athletic competition last Winter with basketball, have added tennis and golf to the list. The netmen make their debut Friday, entertaining Allegheny. The golfers have no getaway date set as yet, for the schedule is not complete.

Paul Sullivan will coach the tennis squad. A golf mentor is still to be named. Pitt, Tech In Action The Pitt track, tennis and golf squads get their schedules under way this week, as does the Tech links team. Many other schools also have their inaugural matches in all sports to feature the first full card of the spring season. The annual Penn Relays at Philadelphia on Friday and Saturday will attract the Panther track and field men along with those from 7 th, Li' Ja' -v- -rv 45 0 if CHARLES (DOC) HARTWIG At the top and on bottom.

wn ill miimii mm --tuimmumMWi Sfee.ers to Play All in NFL Except Chicago Cardinals Open Here Sept. 21 with Detroit Lions And Close at Forbes Field Dec. 7 with Yanks The Steelers face their toughest assignment since they first came into the National Football League in 1933 when they play a 12-game schedule next Fall. General Manager John Holahan announced the com- 'Did It Before, We Can Again Grid Aide Says By CARL HUGHES "We did It before and we can do it again." The speaker: Charles (Doc) Hart-wig. The subject: Pitt football.

And even without music those words sounded good coming from cm umii uu (uajcu wiieii every defeat set off a month of mourning in Oakland. Hartwig has no trouble recalling that in his three years of varsity ball the Panthers knocked oft Notre Dame three times. He thinks they'll be doing it again in the not-too-distant future. Outlasts Other Coaches And if anyone is qualified to read the barometer of Pitt football hopes, it's the Doc. He was around when it hit the top.

He was around when the bottom fell out. No assistant coach in Panther history served under more bosses. Hartwig lasted out Charley Bowser, 1 man Clark Shaughnessy and Wes Fesler He played under Jock Sutherland and now he's helping Mike Milligan. "We're definitely on the way Doc insists. "It won't be next season maybe, or the one after, but in a few years Pitt won't be anybody's breather.

1942 Was Worst Hartwig remembers too well the Panther elevens of a few years ago that couldn't go any way except up. They were Just about as low as they could get. "The year we scraped bottom was 1942 Bowser's last," Doc recalls. "To show how far we've come since then, I feel sure that Bill Dutton was the only member of that team who'd have a chance to make the one well field next Fall. And Bill would have to hustle to do it." Of course, compared to Doc's playing days, the Panthers still are in the minor league.

Came From Ben wood He arrived at Pitt as a freshmar from Benwood, W. in 1930 The following year he was out with a knee Injury, earning his letters in the 1932 through 1934 seasons. Doc climaxed his brilliant career by nabbing an All-American guard berth in his senior year. And ever since, wherever Pitt men meet they eventually get around to discussing Hartwig's feats on the gridiron. Like the time he caught Pug Lund from behind.

It was during the 1933 Minnesota game, which in those days was tantamount to the national championship battle. Gophers Led The Gophers were leading, 7-3, when Pitt kicked off to start the second half. Lund grabbed the pigskin out of the air, dodged a would-be tackier, stiff-armed another, picked up some blocking and was apparently oft to pay dirt. But out of nowhere came Hartwig, admittedly the slowest man on the Pitt team. With his legs churning faster than they ever did before or since.

Doc caught up with Lund and brought him down on the Panther 33. It saved what was otherwise a sure six points, and although there was no more scoring by either team, the Pitts had a hero in defeat. Injured But Played No Pitt man will let you forget, either, about the 1933 Rose Bowl game with Southern California, when Hartwig played almost three quarters with a broken collar bone. It wasn't until after the game that the doctor discovered the fracture. Although he "knew something was wrong with it," Doc kept playing without a let-up.

Only a sophomore that season, Hartwig was a regular from the start. When he was graduated from the Oakland school he passed up pro offers and went to work In private industry. But football was In his blood and in 1933 Doc took over as coach at Moundsville, W. High School. Coached Groza The following two years he was at Martins Ferry (O.) High.

One of his star pupils there was Lou Groza, the ex-Ohio State ace and Cleveland Brown place-kicking star. Hartwig induced him to return to his alma mater and he's been there since. Last season was the first that Hartwig didn't see a game as a spectator, player or coach in 20 years. He was taken ill the day before fall drills began. and only recently rejoined the coaching staff.

In the meantime he had three operations for high blood pressure and now is on the road to health. His multitude of friends and they Include everyone who ever met him are glad to see him back.

Boxing Wednesday At McKeesport Another amateur boxing card is being lined up by Matchmaker Jim McGirr for the McKeesport AO Wednesday night. Among the bouts already arranged for the show at the Palisades is one pairing Pat Hogan of the East Liberty YMCA and Ray Johnson of tt jgajrton Boys Cjnty CHICAGO.

April 19 (UP) Charlie Bidwill, who made a mil lion dollars from football, Softball and horse and dog racing, died today, loser in hi third battle against pneumonia. Death prevented achievement, perhaps, of one of his greatest sports ambitions, a National Football League championship for his Chicago Cardi Bldwill nals. He died Just one week before the opening of the 1947 season at Sportsman's Park, a race track which he directed. Bidwill'a first connection with sports was in 1925, when he became president of a lucrative printing concern which prepared betting tickets and other handbook supplies. From that industry he went on to varied phases of sports.

But to his death the Cardinals and the Chicago Bluebirds, a girls' soft ball team, were his proudest holdings. From them, he wanted the best. Was Rebuilding Cards The 5 1 -year-old Bidwill began strengthening the Cards a year ago, building for the future. First he obtained Jimmy Counzelman to coach again. Then he began to bid for outstanding college stars.

His Cardinals were the most Im proved team in the league, but it wasn't strong enough gain for a title. So Bidwill continued. His greatest acquisition since has been Charlie Trippi, Georgia's All-American, whom he pursued for three years awaiting his graduation. There were others, too, and his 1947 Cardinals threatened to be favorites for the championship. Owned Girls' Softball Team Charlie liked his sports on a personal basis, and the Bluebirds were the best evidence of that.

He couldn't coach football, or ride the horses at Sportsmans or Hawthorne tracks, which he managed, but he could manage a softball team. He was on the Bluebirds bench for every game and directed every shift in the lineup personally. His voice was as raucous as any of the soprano hecklers. Bidwill, a graduate of the Loyola University law school, was a native of Chicago. After graduation he practiced law a short time, then became assistant city corporation counsel under Mayor "Big Bill" Thompson from 1919 until 1924.

The following year he bought -a half interest in the Chicago American Giants, a Negro baseball team. Two years later he established a racing stable. Bought Into Bears In 1930 he went into football, acquiring an interest In the Chicago Bears which he held for two years before he sold out to buy the Cardinals. During the 1933 depression days he obtained a controlling interest in the Chicago Stadium and staged boxing, wrestling and six-day bike races at the indoor arena. Two years later he started another string of thoroughbred horses and soon lecame the director of operations of Sportsmen's and Hawthorne race tracks.

At his death he also was president of the Miami Kennel Club and part owner of three Florida dog racing tracks. His interests in Florida partially accounted for his final illness. After several weeks in Florida for the winter racing season, he returned tj Chicago 10 days ago and shortly thereafter complained of a heavy cold. Took 111 Tuesday Tuesday he was taken to a hospital and Wednesday his condition became critical. He lapsed into a coma and was placed in an oxygen tent where he remained until he died at 8:40 a.

m. today. He Is survived by his widow; two 6ons, Charles. 18, and William, 15: a brother, State Sen. Arthur Bidwill, and a sister, Loretta.

His family and Ray Benningsen, his business aide, were at his bedside when he died. Interment will be Tuesday. Benny Leonard's Funeral Today NEW YORK. April 19 (UP) Hundreds of admirers visited the Riverside Memorial Chapel today to pay their final respects to Benny Leonard, one of boxing's greatest lightweight champions, who died last night while refereelng a bout.

Services will be held at 10 a. m. at the Riverside Chapel. Messages of condolence poured Into the home of his widow, Jac queline, from Leonard's host of stunned admirers all over the nation. He was long remembered as one of boxing's most brilliant ringmasters.

Leonard also is survived by his father, George Leiner; two brothers. Joseph and William, and three sisters. The 51-year-old Leonard was officiating a bout between Mario Ramon and Bobby Williams at St. Nicholas Arena when he collapsed to the canvas Just before the end of the first round. He was pronounced dead of a coronary thrombosis by Dr.
