Hoover job in San Diego. Calexico

will still be a threat. e Centre Is
definitely the team TO beat.
A Sure Miracle
Those persons who refuse to be-
lieve in miracles will believe almost
anything now because on Sunday
afternoon the San Diego Padres won
a double header from the league
leading Seattle Rainiers.
1t seems rather brutal to keep
picking on the Padres the way sports
writer's do but this is the season
that will make or break baseball in
San Diego.
The injury-ridden Padres are out
of the running for the title. They
are more or less disgusted with the
whole setup because of the release
of Spider Baum as club president,
and their attitude has been carried
to the fans.
Unless the Padre stockholders sell
the Padres this season baseball Is
washed up in San Diego.
A new ownership would strength
en- the team another year, would
regain the confidence OF the public
and would make San Diego the
leading baseball team on the coast
again as compared to the league

goes.

boys and girls settled down to SER
ious work today in the eastern grass
court tennis championships. last
testing ground for Americas Wight
man and Davis cup teams.
BY nightfall, the fields in both
divisions are scheduled to be trim
med to 80 and. if what happened on
the opening day yesterday means
anything, a couple of stars will get
one way tickets to the spectators
gallery at the swanky Westchester
country club.
The big news expected today. how
ever, will break in the chambers OF
the tournament officials when the
draw for the mems doubles is made
up. The Davis cup singles jobs al
ready have been unofficially con-
ceded by Bobby Riggs and Frankie
Parker, but the doubles assignment
still is big mystery.
Riggs and Eliwood Cooke, OF
Portland, Ore, the team which won
the Wimbledon doubles title, bowed
in yesterdays Southampton finals
to Parker and Don McNeill of Okla
homa City.
Riggs has indicated he'd like to
team up with Parker for this tour
nament and Davis cup officials seem
to favor that idea. If they are
paired, you can make a safe bet
that they will carry the entire load
for Uncle Sam in next months
challenge round.
Although only a handful of
matches were played yesterday, one
seeded star was eliminated. He was

big reason that the Cardinals are

In his last four games, the Hun
