Takes 5Oth Annual Tour
ney With Ease By Scores
OF Ga, 6-3, 6-3
BY BILL WHITE

SOUTHAMPTON, N Y, Aug. 3.
McNeill of Oklahoma
and Frank Kovacs slugged it out
on the grass courts of the Meadow
club here today, and Don, the more
experienced won the 50th annual
tourney with graceful ease by 81,
6-3, 6-3.
The two, who perhaps r the
hardest (amateur) hitters in the
nation, were meeting for the first
time, and the brand of tennis they
displayed must have caused Bobby
Riggs, the national champion, to
wonder what's in store for him at
the Nationals at Forest Hills IN
September.
Keeps Pressure On
MCNEIL, the National clay courts
champion, kept the pressure on and
the nationally unranked Oakland,
Calf, star, vas helpless to stem
the steady stream of placements
that flowed from McNeill's racquet.
After breaking each others SER
vice in the first set, Mcneil ran
the set out by forcing Kovacs into
numerous errors.
Don opened the second set by
cracking Kovacs' smashing service
twice, while holding his W for a
81 lead in games before he let
down and Kovacs took the next
game which went to deuce four
times. Kovacs held his W SER
vice in the eighth game and Don
ran the set out on four stunning
placements,
In the final set, Mcneil kept the
pressure on all the way, refusing
to let down once. Kovacs, down
SO as the result of some inspira-
tional tennis by Mcneil, rallied a
STAYED off match point four times,
but on the fifth, he vas forced into
an error to lose the match and the
chance at his first Meadow club
cup.
Kovacs, who heckled the b a !
boys. threw his racquet into the
air and delayed play all he could,
appeared below the peak he attain
ed yesterday when he ousted
Riggs. 1t was the fifth consecutive
tourney in which he has reached
the finals. s

Not until the seventh inning did
the locals get a man, on second
