KRAMER's TROUPE HEADING HERE
OImedo Will Attempt
To Gain on Poncho

ture enough to allow him to
unseat Gonzales this year?
Gonzales, who plans to be
married in June, said recently
that only the mixing of anna
teurs with pros in open play
would keep him from going into
a full-time real estate business
on the West Coast after the
current tour.
Open tennis appears to be
coming. Both Australia and the
United States have indicated
approval of it, and it will come
up for official sanction when
the International Federation
meets in July.
Costly for Losers
With Segura back in action,
things are going to be more
costly for the losers. Here is
the way the tour works:
Each night there are two
singles matches, a preliminary
and a feature. Preliminary win
ner gets $500, loser $3.50 and
bounced out of the next nights
play. Winner of the feature
match gets $500. loser gets
$400. and drops down to the
next nights preliminary.
So, the lineup at Uline'S
Thursday night will depend or
results of the action Wednesday
night in Princeton. The only
thing certain before that will
be one Of the preliminary match
berths. That will go to the

Financially, Gonzales won
$6,500, Olmedo, $4,250; Rose
wall, $4,000; Trabert, $1,000
and Segura. $500.

Help! The as If -
COnquering hero
Corroll Seohers I!
BRADENToN, FLA.

The appended hero above is none
l. other than famed Spanish explorer
fernando de Soto, making his historic
landing on the west coast of Florida.
Well, not De Soto himself but the man
who will play him in Bradenton's annual
De Soto celebration, March 20-27.
For dress rehearsal, townspeople in
costumes climbed into rowboats and pre-
pared to set foot on North American soil.
The boats moved inshore; the helmeted
cavaliers struck majestic poses. But
De Soto leaned forward bit too dra.
matically and - splash landing!
If the original De Soto had made this
kind of landing in 1889, he probably
would have turned around and gone
home without bothering to discover the
Mississippi. But the De Soto celebration
committee has an advantage over his
tory. They'll rehearse the scene until
March 20 and they promise their hero
will be landing feet first. -LEw.
