Saturday's first round play opened the three-day tourney that will continue today with the semi 1 finals and Monday for the finals. Action continues starting at 8:30 Sunday. Holden. defending champion for the men's singles title, and Brad ley, former Wimbledon Tourna ment players were given the num ber one positions In their respec tive divisions, and both came up with first round wins. But the San Francisco fireman had to go three sets to claim the win. Chet Niemeyer played the de fending champion on near even terms and lorcea tne oesi iwo oi three set match into the third and deciding set. Holden won the first set 6-1. then dropped the second -0. In the final bout, the San Franciscan won 6-1. Second seeded Ellis Williamson of Eureka won his opener but also had to give ground to a young and coming netter Jimmy Jackson. Williamson lost the first set to his younger opponent 4-6, but came back to score 6-3 and 6-3 triumphs for the win. Bradley displayed the form that everyone expected as she slopped Tonl Locke by identical 6-0 scores In straight sets. The smooth strok ing Nevada star made good use of a powerful forearm shot to over come Locke. CHAPTERS mu ..not fhcinUrii were written In the men'i doubles division and one of the unexpected reversals came from the rackets of two Klamath Falls' netters, young Jackson and Don Mcgale. This duo of local talent dumped fourth seed ed Holden and Bill Kennedy. Jack son and Megale took the win by outicorlng the San Francisco pair 6-1 and 6-0. Holden and Kennedy won the first game of the opening set then found the opposition tough and failed to score through the re mainder of the match. Another upset that even sur passed the Jackson - Megale trick came as Don Willner of Portland and Les Wanee of Sacramento teamed together to knock out top needed Ellis Williamson and Dr. Raymond Tlce of Eureka and Klamath respectively. Willner and Wanee came from nowhere as an unseeded pair to topple the tour ney lavorltles by 3-8, 6-3 and 6-4 scores. fRKDlCTF.n The mixed doubles play eame GLANCING BACK THROUGH an early August Issue of Sports Illustrated we found a very interesting and enlightening article on Ted Williams of the Boston Red Sox. In fact, we're Inclined to go on record and say It to one of the best ever written about the BoSox splendid splinter. Thumpln' Ted's life atory was told in detail as the Issue s con troversial piece." But the most interesting feature was the hidden "Ted Williams" that the average fan has yet to hear. Since Williams' run-in with Boston sports writers a few years back, nearly all baseball followers have been riding Williams as one of the ganie's prima donnas and "spoil sports." But after reading this article we wonder If there x . . : ' ,'3: r V TED WILLIAMS . . boasts of fishing Williams as reported as saving his baseball career Is "Just about over."
