of White Plains. Brooklyn Eagle Stall Correspondent Rye, Aug. 6 Frankie Kovacs, the court rany, is serious! It's cood news, If true, for the tennis poobahs and bad for the opposition. The story of Kovacs desire to foresake his clown-like antics for a role of playing down-to-earth tennis was passed on yesterday by lovely Virginia Wolfenden, a native Calif ornian, at the Westchester Country Club, scene of the 15th annual Eastern grass court chamDlon- country i ships. Virginia and Frank are bud- dies off the court and it was orob ably through her persuasion that Kovacs decided he mustn't kid any more for her sake! And, a man would be a fool if he didn't! He's Made a Promise! "I know Frank Is through with his darned foolish ways," said comely Virginia.

"I've been trying to talk this into him for some time now." added Virginia, "and now I think I've finally succeeded. If only he sticks to his promise every one will see the tennis player he should have been all along and perhaps one of the best In recent times." The 21-year-old California net- man has all the ability and shots of staDUC ne mc wn Pa. Mos' of the time he carries it too far. There isn't a single player today uut-sn iear K.oacs. Don Mc- national champion; Bobby Rlggs, defending titllst and winner of the recent Seabright and Southampton tournaments, both agree that Kovacs must be responding to Wolfenden pep talk.

It would be a great day if Kovacs were to take the men's title and Wolfenden the women's headpiece. It can happen, too. Kovacs and Wolfenden moved up a round yesterday into the third. Frank didn't have much trouble with Gene Mako, whom he eliminated, 64, 64, Wolfenden ran into stern opposition from Katharine Wlnthrop before prevailing, ft 4, 97.

In the first game the Bushwicks beat Barton's Nighthawks. I.sRocca May Be Starter Jack LaRocca, former Yankee and Dodger pitcher who has rejoined the Bushwicks, may draw the starting assignment tonight.

Manager Joe Press is undecided between Bots Nekola and LaRocca. Last night Press used Signer, who spun a five-hit victory in a pitching duel with Happy Leider. Nekola was hit solidly by the Cedarhurst team in that game but the Bushwlclc nurler allowed only one run in the last five innings, consequently Manager Press Is apt to start him again, If Cedarhurst can leave Wood-haven with a vctory over the Bushwicks tonight and gain a split in the series with the Springfield Greys over the weekend it is not likely that the Nassau nine will relinquish its first-place berth ln the M.

Roy Manny, a member of the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce, proved too good for a score ui in tne large cruising division when he sailed the 32- footer Larlken to victory. Last year, Manny sailed the 12-meter sloop Night Wind, but had little success. This year, he charted the 32-footer Lariken and has been well up in all squadron runs. Yesterday he beat some of the best- known skippers and yachts in long- distance racing. Harness Edward's Wasaka finished first, Phil Roose- velt's Persephone was second and then came Lariken boiling along like a house afire, to win by more than an hour on corrected time.

Gil Warner, skipper of the 37-year-old Wasaka. ignored the shortened course signal and Immediately proceeded to take the long way through the race between Fishers Island and the eastern end of Long Island by rounding Con-, stellation Rock some seven miles additional to the course. Fortunately for him the wind shifted, giving him a stronger slant than the rest of the fleet and he overhauled the leaders to take the prize in his class both on corrected time and elapsed time, in one of the closest finishes of the year. Wasaka stepped over the finish line to win by 44 seconds over the 8-meter sloop Sea Fox.
