Little Bobby Scores Again Godoy Signed To Meet Louis' InN.Y. Fight Tuesday, October 10, 1939 Crash and Carry for Michigan Dubby Riggs, Chicago tennis star, added another title to his long siring yesterday at Berkeley when lie defeated Frank Kovacs of Oakland after a hard struggle, for the Pacific coast singles crown. In the picture above, Riggs is shown downing Wehly Van Horn for the national singlc-s title. In The Sport Parade Tom Harmon, Michigans triple-threat junior halfback, is regarded by many as the best all-round back in tlie midwest, and is a big reason why the oh erines are fa ored to wind up on top of the Big Ten heap, a position they haven't held since 1933.

A. U. Chief Dies NEW YORK, Oct 10, (U R) -Samuel E. Hoyt, 65, New Haven, lawyer and president of the A. A.

His term as president of the Amateur Athletic union, to which he was elected in 1937, expired in December. A close follower of sports, his special interest was tn track and swimming. PAGE EIGHT Riggs Defeats Frank Kovacs In Net Finals BERKELEY, Oct. 10, (U.P) Bobby Riggs, national and Wimbledon titlist, added the Pacific coast championship to his successes today but only after a thrilling, uphill battle against young Frank Kovacs of Oakland.

Kovaeks extended Riggs to 6-3, 2-6, 6-4, 2-6, 7-5. Kovacs, with a service nearly as good as TUdens, forced Riggs to the limit of his staying power. Only a lapse into errors and an occasional let-down deprived Kovacs of a sensational upset over the Chicago boy. With the sets at two-all, Kovacs was leading 5-2 in the final and appealed headed for ultimate victory. Then Riggs proved why he is a champion by changing his pace? overwhelming Kovacs with a series of baffling shots, and running out five straight games to cinch the match and the mens singles title.

Mrs. Sarah Palfrey Fabyan of Boston, won the women's singles title, defeating Virginia Woldenfenden, San Francisco, 6-4, 6-1. Helen Wills Aloodys brief return to the tennis wars fell short of a new title when she and Harry Hopman, captain of the Australian Davis cup team, lost to Miss Wol-fenden and Jack Bromwich of Australia In the mixed doubles finals, 8-6, 10-8. Tom Brown, San Francisco, won the junior boys' titles, defeating Larry Dee, Stanford, 6-4, 9-7, 1-0, 6-4, and Pat Canning, Alameda, won the junior girls title from Shirley Catton, Alameda, 6-4, 7-5. Lou Smith Injured Local giidfans are registering real concern over the injury of Louis Smith, baekfield star, in the Califoi nia-St.

Alarys game Saturday at Berkeley. The Bear ace from Yuba City played in only a part of the fiist quarter, and was removed when an injury to his right leg became apparent. He was permitted by Coach Stub Allison to reenter the game for one pass play, in which lie was the intended receiver, late in the final period, when the Beais made1 a futile air raid in an effort to salvage a score. Reports from Berkeley today weie that Smith's log is so badly bruised and batten cd that he pio-bably will be unable to start foi California against Oiegon next Satin clay.

AARON FULLER. aull-tf adv '8BI Honkers Open Practice for League Clash A victorious group of Yuba City Honkers began strenuous practice last night in preparation for the opening of the league sear on this week-end, when the brown and gold plays hosts to the always tough Red Bluff on Saturday.

Rated but an average outfit at the beginning of the season due partly to lack of weight, too Honkers have since come a long way and appear at present to oe in a highly favorable position for a top ranking spot in final N.C.H.S.A.L. standings. Decided underdogs against a strong Glass Valley aggregation, Coach Ken Palmers team surprised the dopesters by holding the Nevada county outfit to a 0-0 tie and last Fuday upset a highly-regarded Auburn high school eleven As did their older brothers, the Honklets duplicated the feats by tieing Grass Valley 0-0, and then downing Auburn by a one-touchdown margin. However. Coach Donnell's team must play even better ball this week if it expects to come out victorious over the lightweights of Gridley.

whom the Honklets play Saturday as a preliminary to the varsltv tilt. As the only local aggregation to boast an unmarred record to date, the Honkers have shown added enthusiasm and determination in recent drills. No apparent shifts have been noticed in the1 lineups, and there is absence of the Injury jinx. Coach Palmer appeared well satisfied with his baekfield of Irwin Barnickol, Bill Hixson, Frenchy Sommers, and Walt Ull-rey, which performed most creditably against Auburn last Friday. Meanwhile, the team shapes up as another pennant contender with Coach Donnell well pleased with recent performances.

10. (UR) -Heavyweight Champion Joe Louis will make his ninth title defense against Artuio Godoy of Chile -a rough, tough mountain Indian -at Madison Squaie Garden oil Feb. 9. Promoter Mike Jacobs announced this bout last night, emphasizing that Godoy beat Tony Roll Out the Bari el Galento twice during Oodoys United States campaign in 1937. Uncle Mike" picked Godoy as the heavyweight challenger aflei failing to come to terms with young Lou Nova of Los Angeles.

It seems that Nova, after getting a bloody beating by GaJento at Philadelphia, wanted too much money to take another from Louis. Godoy, a square-shouldered, leather-face veteran who is celebrating his 30th birthday in Buenos Aires, Argentina, today, announe-ed over the South American radio hook-up, Til knock him out. He cant take it. But I can. I'll prove to the world that Louis is not the invincible man everybody tries to make him out." Godoy said he expected to arrive in New York around mid-November.

He would try to persuade a Peruvian heavyweight, Juan Ulrich, to accompany him to the United States as his sparring partner and perhaps to take on some important bouts. Godoy first attracted the attention of American promoters in 1930 by knocking out ancient Angel Firpo of Argentina in the 10th round. Remember, Firpo was the lad who belled Jack Dempsey cait of the ring in '23. Although he rugged Chilean made a. great showing against Galento in his two bouts, he was outpointed by Uos-coe Toles and Nathan Mann.

His manager A1 Weill explains now, "in the Tides and Mann bouts Arturo's right band was so badly bruised that it hint him more than his opponent when it landed. I guarantee you that his hands wall be in perfect shape for Louis." Godoy Is one of the toughest pugilists of modern times, ranking along wath Tommy Farr of Wale'S, lie never has been knocked out or floored, although he was stopped once because of ga. she'd brows in a novice fight with Loins Aravena of Chile. When Louis makes his ninth title defense in less than two and a half years, he will be giving luture heavyweight kings another mark to shoot at. And since the bout will attract about $113,000, be will add robustly to his purse total ol $1,331,000 about half of what Jack Dempsey pounded out with his fists.

At the same time Ilomotc-r Mike Jacobs announced that Tony Caiizoiieii, fm hut lightweight champion, would light 10 lounds with Young A1 Davis of liiooklyn at Madison Squaic Garden on Nov. 1.

It will pay you to give them a trial. BY ED BI7KT Several years ago, we recall hearing some baseball fans, speaking in a manner that brooked no argument, assert that when Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig left the Yankee lineup, the Yankee powerhouse would be a thing of the past. The Yankee "murderers row has been a diamond topic for several years, as if anyone needed the reminder. Yessir, this well informed fan orated, "That Ruth is getting older every day, and Gehrig can't last forever. Lazzeri is gonna fold up, too, and then those Yanks will lie just another ball club.

According to the laws of average, gravity, and the normal course of events, this fan should have been correct. Ruth, Gehrig and Lazzeri are all missing from the 1939 championship lineup of the Yanks, and yet headlines, reciting the finish of another four-straight series triumph in the fall classic, talked of home run lightning bolts and "devast-ing power at the plate. The answer, of course, is that the New York club prepared wisely, and very well indeed for the day when the brainy Lazzeri and the famed "home run twins would be too old to get out there and win games with brilliant fielding and hits out of the park. How well they succeeded Is evidenced by the fact that not one story about any game in the 1939 sera's, mentioned those departed stars. There was no spot for a paragraph to reminisce about what the mighty Italic might hae done in the clutch, or how Lazzeri would hae taken care of a base hit ball and turned it into a double play.

Tremendously ballyhooed when he came up from the Coast league and making good on every prediction of greatness, Joe DiMaggio is patrolling the outfield and filling Ruthian brogans to perfection. On first base, a flawless fielder and a "weak hitter who knocks out series doubles and homers, iw Babe Dahlgren. In the Yankee dug-out, still in working clothes, Gehrig, the old iron man, must have gotten a thrill from his playing. At second base, a youngster by the name of Joe Gordon has made Lazzeri a forgotten man. Spoits scribes trot out special adjectives to describe his speed afoot, und his remarkable ability to make seemingly Impossible stops, keep his balance and throw runners out at first.

So there you have the successors to three great Yankees. And in right field there is a kid named Charlie Keller. lie smack ed three home runs, two of them in the Saturday game, and batted .438 for tlie four-game series. This lad came up so fast that few fans knew oi him, and crowded Tom Henrieh hack to the bench. The Reds need not feel too embarrassed at losing to such a club, llthough it is inevitable they aie Wing "panned today because of Ihe fourth game comedy of errors.

Had the National leagueis lubmitted peacefully, less indignation would have been egistered than when they oveieame a two-tun lead and then ciaeked up, tnaking four errors and handing 'he Yanks victory in the tenth. facts'!

Coach Alike Pecarovich made the swift change because first string signal caller Burch Donahue is still weak from influenza and may not be ready against St. Alary's By IIIINRY Mel.KMORH United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK. Oct. 10, (UP) Final notes, sweet and blue, on the wen Id seiies: If you aie one ot those pet. -cons who can't sleep on a t.iain, I suggest that you always plan to make the trip with the Yankees when they are turning from a four-game sweep of the world sei You'll have plenty of company all during your wakeful hours The only people who suffered on the Yankee train coining from Cincinnati were those unfortunates who call sleep on trains and wanted to They didn't have any more chance than the Reds did The return trip was not without its educational advantages, however It was Interesting to see a train taken apart as methodically as that one was Whatever the Yanks do they do thoroughly, even to celc-biating.

The Yankees are high high in their praises of Paul Dellinger, not only as pitcher but. as a sportsman He alone of all the Reds came In the Yankee dressing room after the lat game and congi alulated and shook hands with each player The umpiring was tlie best the senes has seen in many years, with the Messis. Reardon, McGowan, Silinineis and Pinelli doing such a good job Unit the players didn't get a chance to use half of their line vocabularies on them it seems to me that tlie bi'sL aigiimeiit to use against someone who suggests that tlie Yankees be broken up is that with thousands of teams playing the national game there should be at least one which plays the' game as it should he played Tlie Yan-kees aie that team Their hitting, fielding, running and strategy arc all pcilect ami they should be kt it intact if only to solve as a model. Gome to think ol it, how would you go about breaking tip the Yankee's? npparently alwajs have a ciop ol stais leaily with which to make icplaceiiicnls The loss of Ruth, Lazzeii and Gehrig didn't slow them down And now you hear, and final expert and unbiased judges, that they have a baseman named lliddy who is as good as Gordon; a shortstop in Rizullto who can do all the tilings that Closet ti can and a litUe more, and that in a youngster named Ch.utak they have a fust baseman who fields as well as Dahlgren and vv ho can knock the 1 cnees down at tlie plate it's peculiar, this resentment ol the Yankee's' class. The spoits fans don't object to Joe Louis' invincibility, and they didn't mind Hub Jones miming ough.sliod over the golf field Hut they seem to get upset by tlie Yankees dominance of baseball.

The No. 1 unsung hero of the series was Art Fletcher, Yankee third base coach Art. did a magnificent job of handling the base runners and extracted the last bit cd advantage from Cincinnati mistake's, mental and physical Wonder if Clark Gritlith, Washington owner, turned off lus radio alter hearing a description of Kellers thud home run?

Armstrong Set to Defend Title 2nd Time in One Week DES MOINES, Oct. 10, (UP) Henry Aimstrong, St. Louis, world welterweight boxing champion, left today for Minneapolis, whine he will cletenel his title Friday for tile-second time this week. lie started the week with little effort last night by stopping A1 Manfredo, Fresno, in the fourth round of 10-round bout.
