Sedgman Blasts Mulioy to Win Tennis Title; Connolly Repeats By HUGH Fl'LLERTOX JR. FOREST HILLS. N. Y. Ifi Frank Sedgman, Australia's silent strong man of tennis, can paint an ex tremely dim picture of Americas avis Cup prospects in a few clipped words. Sedgman is the world's best ten nis player now so good that the experts hesitate to compare him to the great players of the past. He had just finished proving it again by annihilating creaky-jo'inted Gar Mulioy, ine 38-year-old Miami vet eran, 6-1. 6-2, 6-3. in the final of the United states Men s Singles Championship. A platoon ol writers started pop ping questions at him: what do you think of the Davis Cup series this year? What are your plans?

Sedgman. who wasn't even sweating much, smiled self con sciously. He ooviousty was having a hard time finding the polite, com plimentary woras expected oi a winner. "Mulioy was getting stronger at the finish," he murmured. "I con centrated on his backhand. I thought he hit cross court all the time, but he hit some good ones down the line." The Australian star, who holds all three of the world's major men's titles, admitted his hardest match in this country was the New port Invitation final against Aus tralia's second-ranking player. Ken McGregor. He thought the lower nan ot the draw, m wntcn ne played, was harder than the half that Mulioy came through and that the Wimbledon seeding system of putting all players on one list was better than the Forest Hills method of having separate American and foreign seeds. "If they're all together, every body gets a fair go." he said, in dicating his feeling that the Aus tralians might have made an even better showing. He and the other Australian visi tors plan to play in the Pacific Southwest Tournament beginning next week end and then return home for a rest before starting preparations for their Davis Cup YESTERDAY'S STARS Pitching : Preacher Roe, Dod gers Pitched Brooklyn to a bril liant 4-1 three-hit victory over New York to enable Dodgers to move five games ahead of Giants in National League pennant race.

As for Australia's prospects of retaining the international trophy another hesitant grin, then: "I think we ve got a pretty good chance there." Then he pinned down that nota ble understatement by mentioning Ken rtoseweu and Lewis lioad. me Australian n-year-old who played so brilliantly here, and three others who aren't far below them. Rex Hartwig, Inn Ayre and Neil Frazer. Few Americans could beat these second-stringers.
