Sad Senators Of 1948
Qualify Heft for Nets

IN THE BLUE SKIES, peaches and
cream world of Herbie Heft there is no such
animal as bad baseball team, not even
the Nets, who have gone to great lengths
for two years to prove they Just might be
the worst ever put together
To be truthful, the Nets are the best
OF the bad teams in Heft'S world. He came
to this conclusion some three weeks ago,
arriving at the decision quite unaccidentally.
Underscoring their determination to
improve as hastily as possible, the Nets
took giant step forward by adding Heft
to their roster as public relations director.
In this phase of their operation they are
unqueStionably a pennant contender,
though the performance of their athletes
often leaves another impression
&#
AFTER TWO STRAIGHT years of first
division success in Minnesota, Heft's new
legacy in New York is the losingest team in
baseball history, but he will not find the
adjustment too hard to come by
He is well qualified to handle the lob
of losing team, having worked for the
Senators and/or Twins before they became
so affluent financially and artistically.
In fact, it was Heft'S love for the SEN
ators at time when they were wallowing
In eighth place which won him admiration
and job from the late Clark Griffith, who
did his own public relations work before
commissioning Heft.
Historians and other diehards of the
old, tranSplanted Senators will quickly re-
call the sage of the 1948 heroes who VEN
tured westward after a disastrous Eastern
campaign. The odyssey was marked by one
OF the most glorious moments in the history
OF born losers. They won nine of their 10
games, came home to giant civic welcome
and were greeted by the love letters of Heft
which were called Our Wondrous Mats"
They were printed until such time as
the predicted pratfall came Then, bitingly.
the literary adulation ended with a final
chapter, called 'The Blunderous Mats"
which was not authored by Heft.

will take on Ralston and Nc
Kinley. On Saturday, Ralston,
who has been playing superbly
in Australia, will meet Emerson
and Mckinley will oppose New
combe.
United States Favored
Before the opening singles.
the Americans, making their
first appearance in the Chal-
lenge Round since losing to
Australia, 80, at Forest Hills,
N. Y, in 1859, were favored
to end the Aussies' four-year
hold on the Cup. The Aus
tralians followed their 1859 vic
tory over the United States
with triumphs over Italy in
1860 and 1861 and over Mexico
in 1862.
Ralston blew three match
points when he was leading
5-3 and 400 in the fifth set.
Newcombe pulled op to SIS but
/ his inexperience proved costly
when, with Ralston leading
6-5, he double-faulted to give
Ralston match point. This
time Denny didn't fail. He
smashed Newcombe's service
cross court for a clean winner
past the net-charging Aussie.
Emerson made a tremendous
comeback in the third set after
dividing the first two with Nc
Kinley. The rangy Queens
lander seemed to be on the
way out after losing the Sec
ond set and trailing IA and
3-5 in the third set. But he
Steadied his nerves and his
service, and then broke McKin-
ley's service in the 10th and
18th games to win.
In the fourth set, Emerson,
sensing victory, raced off to a
Al lead. He could do no wrong.
Then his game faltered and
Mckinley came storming back
to tie the set at SIS. But that
was the stock collegian's last
gasp. Emerson once again
settled down, held service and
made the key service break for
victory.
Brakes Collapse
Ralston braked what could
have been one of the most ap-
palling collapSes in Davis Cup
history.
In an exciting, fluctuating
m atch marked by swiftly
changing fortunes and blown
opportunities, Denny finally
pulled out the 2%-hou mara
thon battle.

Evening star., 1963-12-26

Newcombe suddenly threw off
his Davis Cup filters and be-
came a storming bull of the
court.
Refusing to compromise and
hitting every shot like a can
non blast, he rallied to win the
third and fourth sets and raise
the hopes of the partisan
crowd.
The fifth set was a cliff
hanger. Newcombe fell behind,
O-3 and 3O-40, in the fourth
game but pulled it out with
cannon-ball services. Ralston
moved ahead by breaking in
the eighth game for a 5-3 lead
when Newcombe double-faulted
at game point.
Exciting Climax
1t was In the next game that
Newcombe fell behind 0-40,
and faced three match points.
Then followed an exciting cli-
max. Newcombe, who won the
cheers of the un-bathed, shirt
sleeved crowd, fell victim to
his own inexperience.
Although he served II aces
he was guilty of IL double
faults. many Of these at cru
cial points of the dramatic
match. Ralston, serving bril-
liantly. sent across 10 clean
aces and double-faulted only
five times.
The fourth set between Emer-
son and Mckinley was exactly
the opposite Of the third as the
Australian raced into a Al
lead. The Assue had won nine
of the last 10 games before
Mckinley finally stopped the
string by winning his service
in the fourth game. He broke
Emerson again in the seventh
game but the Australian ace,
who never has lost a Davis Cup
match. came right back to
break Chuck for a 5-3 advan-
tage.
Crowd on Edge
The ninth game had the
crowd on edge in excitement as
Mckinley passed Emerson down
the forehand side for a 1910
lead and then Emerson netted
the next point after another
long rally to give Mckinley the
game and reduce his margin
to 5-4.
Mckinley held his service in
the 10th game to square the
match at SIS but that was his
last gasp. Emerson smashed
through the Americans service
with a net attack behind his
big service. Emerson had 5
match points in the 18th game
before he put over the winner
with a smash that Mckinley
drove over the baseline.

Russian Defends
Death for Theft

UNITED NATIONS. N. Y,
April 8 (AP). - The Soviet
Union defended yesterday its
use of capital punishment in
crimes of an economic nature
such as speculation and theft.
Y. A. Ostrovski, the Soviet
delegate to the U. N. Economic
and Social Council, said the
punishment is aimed at those
who seek to destroy "the evolu-
tionary achievements Of our
society"
He spoke after United States
Delegate Jonathan B. Bing-
ham said capital punishment
should not be applied to crimes
of a purely economic character.
Mr.. Ostrovski said the Soviet
Union does not want advice
from the United States on the
subject. He then assailed the
United States for supposedly
applying the death penalty
simply because people happen
to be black"
In the Soviet Union, he
added, the death penalty is re-
garded as an exceptional tenn
porary measure to be inflicted
only for specific crimes. He said
the United States uses 1t to
protect the interests "of the bag
Of money"
Mr.. Bingham called the
Soviet reaction violent and out
of proportion" s-
The council is debating an
Italian-Austrian resolution urg-
ing governments to study the
efficacy Of capital punishment.
