FOREST HILLS. N. Y, Aug.
2o.-Given a strong shot in the
arm by the Australian team S
showing in the Davis Cup
matches, the National mems and
women's singles tennis champion
ships start today with everything
indicating a week of sensational
competition.
The cut-and dried aspect of
recent National mems events. with
one or two standouts topheavy
favorites to carry off the title,
has been radically changed this
year. Though Ted Schroeder
seeded No. /. and Defending
Champion Richard "Pancho''
Gonzales, No. 2, are favored to
meet for the title, there are
numerous players who may upset
either one.
Perhaps the greatest American
threat is Frank Parker. who was
passed over by the Davis Cup
committee and has been dropped
to No. in the domestic seeded
list. William Talbert and Gard
ner Mulloy are at and 4 re-
spectively. Parker is anxious to
prove the committee was wrong
and will be out to upset Gonzales
in the semifinals. provided he can
win through to that bracket. His
chief opposition to doing so are
Mulloy and Eric Sturgess, South
African star who was runnerup
in the 1948 championships here.
Twenty-year-old Frank Sedg-
man of Australia, though seeded
behind Jaroslav Drobny, Czecho-
slavakia exile who was runnerup
this year to Schroeder at VIM
bledon. and Sturgess in the for
eign list. will be watched care
fully as his net rushing game
might upset anyone in the tour
nament. Drobny and Sturgess
cannot. be easily discounted. while
the veteran John Bromwich Of
Australia might bring his game
up to its former greatness.
Three Capital area players will
