Gonzales Needs More
Than Cheers Of Fans;
Drubbed by Kramer
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK. Oct. 26.-Even If
he never beats Jack Kramer in
their professional tennis tour,
Richard Pancho) Gonzales is
going to have a lot Of fun and
make a lot of money.

Cries of Come on Pancho"
echoed from the galleries. The
cheers were virtually all for the
husky youngster who came off
the public courts of Los Angeles
and Skyrocketed to fame by win
ming the National Amateur title
the last two years.
But Pancho needed more than
cheers against the veteran Kra-
mer. who gave up beating all the
amateurs of the world in 1947
and since has been taking the
measure of the pros.
He needs experience against
player of Kramer's caliber, some
thing he'll be getting regularly on
the tour that will touch at least
80 cities in the next II months.
Parker Also Defeated.
II figure that after eight or ten
matches, I'll be on to Jacks game
and then I'll be able to beat him
regularly" Gonzales said.
Frank Parker, who preceded
Kramer and Gonzales as national
amateur champion, also was un-
successful in his pro debut. He
was beaten by Francisco Pancho)
Segura, the little Ecuadorian who
has been touring with Kramer for
18 months. 6-3, Ga.
The tour now moves to Chicago,
where the boys play Friday night.
Then they'll jump around among
50 cities of the United States and
