Seixas, 6-1, Ga, 6-3, in win

peared in top form for the up
coming national championships
and Davis Cup competitions.
In accepting the championship
cup at the Merton Cricket Club,
Tony said, "One Of these days
II hope to come back to play at
Merton again." The club stages
only amateur tournaments.
But If Trabert's performance
brought smiles to the Davis Cup
fathers, they must have been at
least a little worried by the play

States titlist and the probable
