(IP) Forced to use every shot in his bag and to spend his every ounce of courage, National Champion Bobby Riggs battled uphill for three and a half hours yesterday before he could defeat Frank Kovacs of California in one of the most brilliant final round matches of the 53-year-old Seabright lawn tennis tournament. Riggs, by his resourceful shotmaking and refusal to accept defeat, finally prevailed by 2-6, 0-6, 6-3. 11-9, 10-8. a season lor tne ngers, suc ront nark. Local police suc- PAGE SEVENTEEN ST.

Four times in the match Kovacs was one point removed from victory only to have the rampaging Riggs pull the game out.

Bobby won twice before, but never after such a titanic struggle. While Riggs' display of valor was great, so too was Kovacs' spirit. Such retrieving as Bobby accomplished in the two final sets would have brought despair to many other opponents. Repeatedly, when the hard-hitting Californian slashed a diagonal depth drive across court, Riggs raced into position to turn it back a winner of his own. With speed and placements, the unranked Kovacs stroked his way to a two-set lead.

It wasn't until his rangy foe had established this big advantage that Riggs buckled down, quit fencing and played his best tennis.

Bartow scored four runs in the first inning, but Lakeland came back to tie the count in the second and was never headed again.

National champions Alice Marble and Sarah Palfrey won the women's doubles championship defeating Mary Arnold and Dorothy May Bundy of California, 5-7, 6-4. 7-5. Concentrating fire on Miss Palfrey, who in the first set was badly off her game, the losers made a desperate attempt to upset the champions. But as the match progressed, Miss Palfrey settled down and provided needed support for her partner and the margin of victory.

A golfer since 1930, Williams achieved his peak in 1935 when he won the state amateur championship. At the present time, he is playing nearly as well as at that time, according to his own statement. Neither long nor exceptionally straight off the tee, Williams compensates for these lackings with a well polished pitching and chipping game.

He is at his best around the greens. At distances up to five or six feet he is an almost deadly putter. Kirkpatrick, who was a professional a decade ago, then returned to the amateur ranks, is a stylist with a well-rounded game which features iron play. His long iron seconds are monotonously straight and it has been said that he hits more greens in regulation figures than any amateur in the city. Kirkpatrick also is capable around the greens but because of his straight and true seconds has few opportunities to prove it.
