Seixas Trounces
For Wimbledon
WIMBLEDON. England UB - Big
Vic Seixas of Philadelphia, play
ing flawless tennis, ran through
i Kurt Nielsen of Denmark in the
Minals of the Wimbledon men's
championship Friday, to take the
coveted world amateur title back
tc the United States.
Seixas reeled off set scores of
9-7. 6-3, 6-4, in one hour and 19
minutes of immaculate tennis.
There was never much doubt that
he would win once he began giving
the game some of his own medi-
- cine.
After Neilsen scored on eight
baseline-nicking lobs in the first
set, Seixas also started hitting
them to the sky.
He did it higher and better. The
American's lobs moved Nielsen
back from the net. Seixas followed
by moving closer to the net where
he is one of the most dangerous
Iplayers in the world.
Just to cross Nielsen up and keep
the 22-year-old Copenhagen engin
eering student jumpy and confused,
Seixas of tan would drop three
fourths of the way back from the
net where, with his superior speed,
he could rush the net or drop back
for long shots.
Nielsen, apparently, did not
know just how to cope with such a
versatile man. The Dane's foot
speed is not great and he had to
rely more on tries for service aces.
Hif service was plenty good in the
firsthand third sets, but in the sec
ond it suffered costly lags. '
A hard overhead smash and a
neat angle volley scored most
often for the Dane.
Seixas in Opening a great fourth
of July week end for America
had every shot a champion needed
and he often hit shots with sharp
backspins which bit the dirt and
bounced at odd and crazy angles.
Americans won Wimbledon
championships from . 1947 through

Walls, Canadian heavyweight box
ing champion, knocked out Rex
Layne, ranking contender for the
world crown, in 63 seconds of the
first round of a scheduled ld-round
bout before 10,000 fans Friday
night.
The 25 year old Negro gave
away 14 pounds to Layne. Walls
weighed 192. Layne, 206.
Referee John Befir of Chicago,
imported to handle the fight, billed
as a contest for the Pacific North
west heavyweight title counted
Layne out at 1:03 of the first.
Only a half dozen blows were
landed in the brief contest. Walls
opened with left jabs that put
Layne off balance temporarily.
Then Layne came on and stag
gered the champion with a right.
Jhe boys clinched and Behr sep
arated them. Walls grazed Layne's
chin with a right and followed with
a short, chopping left that traveled
less than six inches.
It caught Layne on the right
cheek and the Salt Lake City boy
went over flat on his back. He
didn't come around until a minute
after he was counted out-
The gate was estimated at more
than $50,000.
The two are expected to meet
within 60 days in a rematch at Salt

the other in the sixth by First
baseman Chuck Abernathy, who
powered a clean ground shot over
second base.
Only 101 Pitches
Dahle walked only two and
struck out as many. He threw 47
pitches in the first three innings,
27 in the next three and then 27
more in the last three for a total
of 101, which is exceptionally
good. The win was Dave's third
since joining the club late last
month.
The Senators wasted little time
in getting to Bob Drilling of the
Vies. He walked Dick Sabatini as
a starter in the first inning, got
Tanselli on a fly to right and then
managed to get Milt Smith on a
lonfc drive to Cece Garriott in cen
ter. But Connie Perez lashed a
single to right field that took a
weird hop over Bob Moniz head
and went for a run-producing tri
ple. Jimmy Deyo followed up by
smashing a single to score Perez.
Drilling was touched for three
runs in the third on consecutive
singles by Sabatini and Tanselli,
a throwing error by Shortstop
Granny Gladstone in trying to cut
down Sabatini at the plate after
doing a force-play on Tanselli at
second, Perez' single and another
solo by Jerry Ballard, driving in
two tallies.
Walker Finishes Up
Lefty Zeb Walker took over for
Drilling after the fifth and held
the Solons scoreless.
Perez' led Salem's 10-hit attack
with three blows. Tanselli had
two.
With Tanselli having a great
night, handling eight assists and
two putouts, the Solons turned in
a fine defensive chore to go along
with Dahle's mound sparkler. The
hustling shortstop was a victim of
a pre-game gag when he was pre
sented with an apron. He follow
ed up by looking like a Phil Riz
zuto during the game without
the apron.
The teams do more battle to

overtime match.
