major boner may have been
pulled when Dick Savitt, young
New Jersey tennis hero, was not
named to play in the final singles
matches of the Davis Cup COM
petition in Australia. Of all the
choices to send into action
against Australian star Frank
Sedgman, Savitt was the most
likely. In fact, he was the only
intelligent choice since he had
beaten Sedgman before and had
captured the Australian title. But
Savitt was not given the 60
ahead signal and Sedgman
emerged with the title for Aus
tralia.
The coming Australian cham

18 at Adelaide, Australia, will be
packed with drama. Hollywood
script writer's take note: Dick
Savitt, one of the most promising
amateurs in years, who was not
sent against Sedgman even
though he had defeated him,
enters the battle for the Austria
liam title. He fights his way up to
the finals. He meets Sedgman in
the climax. With the crowd
thrilled, Savitt whips Sedgman,
takes the crown, and shows what
he could have done in the Davis
Cup matches. Will it happen?

Sox star, who halls from Brook
lyn, stole some of the spotlight
from the Yankees pride and joy,
Reynolds himself. The Yankee
hurler was the leading pitcher in
the league, but Rogovin can take
pride in the fact that his earned
run average was better.
When the teams start their
spring training this year, Saul
will be one of the guys to be
watched. During the past season,
he was comparatively unknown.
At the start of the campaign he
was with Detroit, then was
traded to Chicago. 1t was only as
he moved along with some inn
pressive victories and steady
good performances that he began
to be noticed. Then, when the
baseball uniforms were neatly
folded and tucked away with the
1851 season, a look at the records
showed how moderated the guy
really was. Saul has the oppor-
tunity to develop into one of our
leading pitchers. If he does, he'll
make a lasting mark in the his
tory of Jewish baseball players,
as there never has been a truly
great Jewish mound star =.
So far the Jewish baseball
