l.
Apparently all that Billy
Cigich needed to realize his
golf potential was a better grip
Eon himself, not his club.
Hes always had potential, -
Harry Griesmer, the Bethesda
Country Club pro said Of the
18-year-old Cigich after he de-
feated Harry Cain. 5 and 4, in
the finals of the club champion
ship yesterday.
eBut Billy would get mad at
himself when he hit a bad shot.
He seems to have more COM
posure now" Griesmer added.
A sophomore at Rollins Col
lege in Orlando, Fla, Cigich
threw an even par 10 at Cain in
the morning round and was 7
up at the luncheon break.
Harry, son Of the former
Senator. shot 80 on the front
nine in the afternoon and cut
the deficit to 6 down with nine
to go, but couldn't make much
more headway. He won the 18th
with a birdie, but they halved
the next three to end the
match.
This was the first title Of
consequence the 5-foot-8 130-
pound Cigich has won. He
reached the semifinals Of the
club championship last year,
but lost to Herb Rudd, the de-
feated finalist.
He was second low qualifier
in the Bubby Worsham Me-
mortal tournament at his home
course in late August, but lost
to Dan Boone of Columbia, the
beaten finalist.
In his freshman year at
Rollins, Cigich not only made
the golf team, which is rather
unusual for a first-year player,
but was ranked second and
third throughout the season.
He reports back to school
next week.
INDIAN SPRING-Not only
Is Dick Schattman the club
champion. but Mrs. Shattman
is a pretty good player herself
They teamed yesterday to win
the husband-wife tournament

Schattman 83 for a combined

Greenberg won low net with
179 minus 38 handicap strokes

FOREST HILLS. N. Y. Sept.
10 (AP).-Rod Laver win reach
the end Of the rainbow today
and it could be lined with gold.
The 15s-pound Australian
meets his eountryman, Roy
Emerson. for the National ten
mis- championship-the second
year in q row these two Davis
Cup teammates have tangled in
the final. Emerson won in
straight sets last year.
This time, though. q barrel
Of money is riding on the title.
Laver is shooting for the
coveted grand slam Of amateur
tennis-the Australian, French,
Wimbledon and United States
championships. Don Bulge,
who accomplished the feat in
1898. is the only other player
in history to win all four. Layer
is three-for-three so far this
year.
Crushes Mexican
Laver made the final yester-
day by crushing Rafael osuna
of Mexico, 6-1, 6-3, GA,
after Emerson had downed
Americas last hope. Chuck Me-
Kinley Of st. Ann, Mo-, L6,
Ga, 6-3. Ga, before q ca
pacity crowd Of 1900 at the
West Side Tennis Club. This
makes the seventh straight year
the United States has been shut
out Of the finals.
In the women's division,
Darlene Hard of Long Beach,
Calf, carries the United States
banner into the final. Miss
Hard, the defending champion,
plays Margaret Smiths Of Aus
tralia for the title. Miss Hard
turned back Vicky Palmer, IT.
year-old from Phoenix, Ga,
6-3, and Miss Smith overcame
Maria Bueno, 6-8, 6E3, ga,
in the semifinals.
A victory for Laver would
mean a fat professional con-
tract. estimated between $75.-
900 and $125.000 after the
Davis Cup in December.
Better Concentration
"All the talk about. the
grand slam hasn't bothered
me-" Laver said. "In fact, IL
anything, it has helped me
concentrate better, and that's
the main thing. That's prob
ably why I've been doing so
well this year. My coneentra-
ton is better. I used to have
lapses."
Laver and Emerson have
met seven times this year on
all kinds of surfaces. Laver
holds the upper hand, So.
| On the other hand, this Il
LAYERS sixth try at the United
States championship and he
never has won it. He bristles
when it is suggested that he
may be jinxed here.
"Of course, there's no jinx,s'
he snapped. How can there
be a jinx when I've gotten to
the finals twice in five pre-
vious tries? The entire idea IL
a laugh. I would say I have q
good chance against Emerson.
AS for Emerson, he doesn't
take things quite as seriously
as Laver.
II you find anyone coming
around offering 100000 Pre-
contracts, let me know, eh." he
quipped. I'm not really con-
cerned with the grand slam
That's the Rockets problem
1t doesn't give me any more
incentive. If he gets it, he's
going to earn it,"
