= Il * =
Barnes, although it may not
have looked it on televiSion
Saturday against Froehling, is
a better than-average player
He w@n the singles champion
ship in the Pan American
Games, plays on Brazils Davis
Cup team and has beaten Roy
Emerson, Manuel Santana, Rod
LAYER and Fred Stole at one
time or another. He went to
the finals at Merton recently
| losing to Chuck Mckinley. He
can best be described as g
streak player, one with gooo
passing shots When ne has MS
touch.
With Barnes and Thomas
Koch, the 18-year-old south
paw who gave Mckinley such
a battle in the quarter-finals,
Brazil now has two potentially
troublesome players for Davis
Cup competitor.
Financially, there's some
thing odd about that. too.
Brazil completes in the Euro
pean Zone, not in the Amer
lean Zone. Why?
1T is like this" Barnes says.
I'VE get a ticket from home to
Europe for Davis Cup play.
That enables us to get over
there free, and then we can
play the European circuit"

good, naturally.

Ill thatS the proper word
Frank Froehling here Satur-
day in the Semif;nals of the
National tennis championship.
The scores were 6-3, 6-1,
Ga in Froehling's favor and
it took big Frank only an hour
to do the job.
Nevertheless, it probably was
the most successful hour
Barnes has spent Since he
hoped off the jet that brought
him to this land of opportunity
a short while ago.
Barnes says it cost him
money to play in this country,
but he has no complaints. "I
came in hopes of playing well
at Forest Hills, he said a few
days ago, IF / do we'll here
I'll make up that money and
more"
The fact that Barnes was in
the Semifinals, and that he
whipped Dennis Ralston to get
there, virtually assures Barnes
future. Some people say that
he makes about $4,000 a year
now, above expenses, playing
abroad. He can knock down as
much as $500 in some weeks,
Barnes doesn't deny it. He says
only that he now expects to
make more.
-
To understand Barnes it is
necessary to get a little back
ground. Because initiation in
Brazil is going up and up,
Barnes is going around and
around. The world, that is.
Barnes was born in Rio de
Janeiro of English parents, who
met and married in Brazil. His
father is an investment broker.
which may account for Ron
MES financial aplomb.
At any rate, Ronnie, a bright
lad, skipped the 18th grade and
finished high school at Is. His
family lives between a tennis
club and the ocean, just two
blocks apart. Ronnie made a
wise choice early and selected
tennis over the surf.
He never took a formal ten
mis- lesson, but at Is he was
good enough to make a world
tour. He's been on the merry
go-round ever since. or seven
years. He is in Brazil only six
weeks a year.
"In Europe l have a good
name" Ronnie explains, and
I get fairly good conditions
"In Brazil the conditions

ter day not so much because of
cold but to keep the plant from
losing too much moisture.
Dr.. Philip L. Rusden OF the
Bartlett Tree Research LabOra-
tories says cold all has less
moisture than warm air. When
cold arrives accompanied by
winds that suck moisture from
leaves, rhododendron reacts
by shliveling its leaves. 1t closes
its doors to the cold What hap
pens is this:
The upper side of a rhododen-
dron leaf is leathery. The under
side is softer, dappled with thou
sands of Stomata or tiny air
valves. These valves open and
close to control the flow of water
vapor and air in and out OF a
leaf
So when cold and high winds
arrive and more moisture is
lost than can be replaced by root
absorption. a signal goes out to
tiny guard cells that actuate the
stomata. The valves are shut.
Then when the surrounding air
warns up again, with its ac-
companying HI G h er moisture
