TRIUMPHANT SMILES BEAMED FROM Denrm Todd, Klamath
Falls, after he captured the junior men'i singles championship
at the eighth annual Herald and News Invitational Tennis
Tournament held at Moore Park over the Labor Day Weekend.
Eureka Netter Cops
First Klamath Trophy
By CLAYTON IIANNON
If you don't succeed at first, try.
try again.
This was the theme song of Ellis
Williamson today after winning the
eighth annual Herald and News In
vitational Tournament's men's sin
gles title Monday afternoon at
Moore Park.
Williamson, who hails from Eu
reka, California, has entered : in
the last six invitational meets spon
sored by the Herald and News, but
has never packed away the win
ner's trophy. During these, five
previous trips, Ellis has played in
semi-finals or the finals every year.
The initial win and the 24 inch
trophy was taken by Williamson
when he disposed of Dr: Bill Davis,
Portland dentist, in a Monday mid
day net battle by scores of 6-0,
5-7 and 9-7.
The opening set of the Williamson-Davis
match looked as if the
Eureka netter would have very
little trouble in copping the men's
singles play, but Davis rebounded
with some superb tennis playing on
his own to claim the second set. In
the third and deciding set, William
Ron and Davis both played at their
top games with the Northern Call
lornian coming out on top.
Williamson's power-play kept Da
vis away from the net. which
proved in his early tournament
matches to be his strong point.
This, combined with some hair
splitting shots, was too much for
the Portland "'Painless Parker" to
tum back.
Williamson entered the finals by
tripping Don Megale of Klamath
Tails in one semi-final bout 6-3,
2-6, 7-5. Davis swept through his
semi-final tiff by downing another
Klamathitc. Ron Lowell 6-3, 6-1. .
TOr-SEEDKD
Williamson was seeded second
and Davis third In the three-day
Invitational play. Top-seeded John
Holden of San Francisco was up
set by Lowell in a quarter-final
match 6-4. 3-6. 6-4. Lowell was
fifth seeded with Megale spotted
as the eighth ranking netter.
In the men's do.'blcs play, the
"old timers" showeo the youngsters
that experience Is a prime factor
in winning tight tournament bat
tles. Ken Karnes, the tedding court
vet, teamed with Divis to claim
the doubles triumph by downing
Don Megale and Jim Jackson of
Klamath Falls 5-7, 7-5 and 7-5.
The match opened with youth
taking the first set, but Davis was
sharp with some unbelievable angle
shots and blistering services to win
the second and third sets." Megale
and Jackson, who tabbed them
selves as the surprise team of the
division, gave the Karnes-Davis
team all they wanted in the two
hour match, but the winners had
Just a shade too much power and
experience shot-wise for the youths.
Davis and Karnes whipped Ron
Lowell and Earl Brooks of Klam
ath Falls in their semi-final tiff
6-3 and 6-4. Megale and Jackson
blasted Don Willner of Portland

and Les Wanee of Sacramento In
the other semi battle by set scores
of 6-1. 6-3. Davis and Karnes were
seeded number three in the doubles
draw.
The 1954 Wimbeldon player came
through ps expected in the wom
en's singles when Barbara Brad
ley of Reno turned back Alice Wa
nee of Sacramento 6-1. 6-0. The
single game lost to Mrs. Wanee.
the 1949 national senior women's
champion, in the opening set was
the only, game dropped by the tal
ented Reno netter in her tourna
ment play.
Bradley displayed some outstanding-
over-all plaving ability that
carried her to her first Herald
and News -triumph. The Reno net
miss was seeded number one, and
Mrs. Wanee number two.
Lowell and Bradley teamed to
gether to win the mixed doubles
play yesterday. The Klamath-Reno
combination defeated John and
Barbara Holden of San Francisco
in the final matches 6-0, 6-2. Last
year Holden teamed with Barbara
Lum to win the title. Lowell and
Bradley were seeded in the top
spot before the play opened Sat
urday morning. The Holden netters
were seeded number two.
COMBINATION
In the other division of play.
Dennis Todd of Klamath Falls
walked off with the junior men's
hardware by dumping Jim Norland
in the finals 6-2. 6-1. Todd was first
seeded in the 18-yearsand-under
play.
The third set win by Karnes and
Davis closed the 1955 tournament,
which all concerned say was the
largest and best ever held here
since the H-N invitational opened
in 1948. Those sport fans who were
on hand Monday to see the cham
pionship battles witnessed some of
the best tennis ever played in
Klamath Falls.

Reports Say Kramer

Frank Sedgman's suggestion to
Aussies Lew Hoad and Ken Rose
wall that they turn professional
seems to confirm the tennis
scuttlebutt tha Jack Kramer is
readying the net coup of the cen
tury. Kramer, the professional tennis
entrepreneur, almost has grabbed
off the top amateur to inject new
life into his cash and carry tours.
Tony Trabcrt, the Wimbledon
champion, supposedly was h I s

chesne of Holyoke. Mass.. made
such an impressive New York de
but while stopping lightweight
Sonny Puleo Monday night at St.
Nicholas Arena that today he was
offered another television light
there on Oct. 24.
His opponent wculd be feather
weight Bobby Bell of Washington,
DC.
Courchesne was an 11-5 under
dog against highly touted Puleo of
Brooklyn, but he proved such an
excellent boxer-puncher that all
three ring officials had him ahead
when the fight was slopped at 1:29
of the ninth round.
Referee Harry Ebbets would not
let Puleo continue because he was
bleeding so profusely from cuts on
his left brow and on his head
above the left ear. The brow-cut
required eight stltchet; that on the
head, six.
The technical knockout was the
first kayo suffered by 23-year-old
Sonny in his 16 professional bouts.
It was his fourth defeat.
Manager Pat Barllett said he
can't decide about the Bell fight
until he gets more details about
a proposed scrap with ex-challenger
Red Top Davis at Montreal next
month.

the U.S. amateur title currently
up for grabs.
But the word around the racquet
battleground Is that Kramer will
try to sign up all three Trabert,
Hoad and Rosewall.
There is. it Is said, a possibility
that he even may try to get Rex
Hartwig, the Aussie doubles de
mon.
Such a wholesale raid on the
cream of the worlds amateur ten
nis talent, if nulled off, could well
wreck Australian hopes for a long
time stranglehold on the Davis
Cup. But with Kramer that would
he merelv one of the net results.
INTERSECTION AL
What lw- Is primarily Interested
in Is forcing international tennis
authorities into sanctioning open
tennis tournaments.
This long has been his ambition.
Yet he had no forcing lever be
cause he had a mere handful of
the world's top tennis names. How
ever. If he should get the current
big four of the amateurs, at last
he would have a contingent pow
erful enough to at least demand
consideration.
Even if the International tennis
brass scorned his suggestion lor
open tennis, Kramer still would
be in the driver's seat. Adding
Trabert, Rosewall, Hoad and Hart
wig to "names" like those of
Pancho Segura. Dick Gonzales.
Sedgman. Ken McGregor and even
such still-swatting ancients as Don
Budge and Fred Perry, he could
put on a series of tournaments that
would threaten to run Ihe ama
teurs right out of the ticket busi
ness. Kramer's plans, lt is whispered,
are for a series of 20 tournaments
if he collars the current big lour
of amateur tennis, ,
WINTER TOUR
This would be In addition to his
annual winter tour, meaning
plenty of loot for all hands.
Up to now, Kramer quips, the
"amateurs" haven't been able to
afford to turn pro. They can pick
up from $10,000 to $12,000 annually
"under tho table." But Sedgman,
Kramer's Australian agent, ad
vised Rosewall and Hoad that they
would be able to make $45,000 an
nually as pros.
If Kramer does collar Trabcrt
and the three Aussies, you can
bet he'll be In business with a
vengeance.. He'll have the talent
then to put on some really attrac
tive events and amateur tennis
can't help but feel the rub.
