Jack Kramer Tabbed Lucky
As Court Tour Set To Open
By OSCAR FBALEY
United Pre" Sports Writer'
NEW YORK (UP) The next
best thing to being rich and hand
some is to be lucky and Jack
Kramer qualifies on three counts.
Kramer, in case It escapes you.
Is the retired world champion of
tennis who now sits back and is
content to count the house as a
pro promoter. Just a few weeks
back It looked as li he blew the
deuce.
But once again, "Big Jake" has
hit the jackpot.
Starting Friday night at Madi
son Square Garden he will take
his pro tennis troupe on a nation
wide tour which, If all goes well,
will have a two-year run. Not with
the same cast, either. It's just one
of the breaks o( being lucky.
The ensemble this time Includes
Tony Trabert, the U.S. and
Wimbledon champion, who turns
play-for-pay against Pancho Oon
zales, Uie two-time pro king. Sup
porting artistes are Pancho Segura
the two-handed Ecuadorian who Is
drooling for a shot at the "mon
sters" of the cast, and Aussie Rex
Hartwlg.
. It could have been a lot differ
ent. HOAD AMATEUR
Kramer's original thought was
to line up both Trahert and Aussie
Lew Hoad as the stars of his cast.
Hoed was committed but the Aus
tralian "amateur" fathers outbid
Kramer to keep larruping Lew
eligible for next year's amateur
Davis Cup play.
With Trabert already signed,
Kramer was in a dither. He made
a special trip to Australia to .try
to Influence Hoad. It was no dice.
8o he accepted Hartwlg, but need
ed a co-star to play opposite Tra
bert. Oonzales was the answer, even
though he and Kramer had not
been seeing eye to eye financially.
"I was in the tour, then out of
It and then, finally, my lawyer
told me I was back In," Gonzales
said with a tactlessness that had
Kramer squirming in his chair.
"If I win this tour from Trabert,
I am guaranteed a minimum of
Honus' Death
Mourned By
Diamond Fans
PITTSBURGH (UP) Three
venerations of baseball fans today
mourned the passing of John Peter
(Honus) Wagner, the greatest
shortstop of all time.
The 81-vear-old "Flying Dutch.
man" of Pittsburgh Pirate fame
died In his sleep Tuesday morning
at his home In nearby Carnegie,
Pa. Old Honus Injured his hip In
. a fall last September and was bcd
' ridden the final days of his life.
' Thousands of condolences, from
the great of the business and pro
i fesslonal world, the little fellow
who sat In the bleachers to watch
the great man play, and from
others to whom he was one of
baseball's legendary heroes,
poured Into the Wagner home.
Wagner's many hometown
friends, who would sit and talk
baseball with him for hours, paid
their respects personally to the
bereaved family at Honus" modest
home.
Wagner, the barrel - chested,
bowlegged son of a Ocrman Immi
grant, will be buried Friday after
noon at Jefferson Memorial Park,
only a few miles from Forbes
Field where his tremendous base
ball feats made many consider
him the game's finest all-around
player.
During his 21 years In the major
leagues Honus compiled a life
time batting average of .329 and
hit above .300 for 17 consecutive
seasons. He led the national
league In batting eight times dur
ing the era of the "dead ball."
Wagner's marks stand as a liv
ing1 tribute to one of baseball's
Immortal heroes.
Bonanza Antlers
Topple Wildcats
Bonanza's Antlers took an early
lead Tuesday evening on their home
maples to turn back the Klamath
Union High Wildcats 51-37 In a
non-lcaaue basketball outing.
The Antlers held 13-6, 31-15 and
39-23 rest period margins as they
handed the 'Cats a loss In their
season's debut. Ron Roberts sank
19 points to lead the winners, while
Bteve Mo More topped the Wildcat
efforts with seven.

Trabert an inch."
Meanwhile, all the members of
the cast seem to feel, outright or
otherwise, - that Hoad will capitu
late to pro terms next year after
finally proving himself.
TOP AMATEUR
"If Hoad consolidates his game
and his thinking, he'll be the top
amateur next year," Trabert as
serted cautiously.
Hartwlg in even more out
spoken. He predicts a runaway for
the Aussie Davis Cup forces while
analyzing, also, that Hoad must

In Win Over SF State
By JOHN GRIFFIN
United Presi Sports Writer
National champion San Francis
co packed a a game winning
streak into the trunk today and
prepared to take it on a seven
game national tour likely to prove
the December highlight of the col
lege basketball season.
The Dons, rated again the No. 1
court team In the country, racked
up their third win of this year
Tuesday night without any trouble,
72-47, over Ban Francisco oi-.e
In their final appearance before
the tour.
San Francisco will put lis daz
zling streak on the line in tne
DePaul tournament In Chicago,

In Ring Meet
CLEVELAND (UP) Big Bob
Baker of Pittsburgh will take a
mil lon-dollar gamble tonignt in
his heavyweight challengers' fight
with lofty Nino valdes 01 uuoa
at the Cleveland Arena.
Although already In position to
press for a shot at the heavyweight
crown. Baker asked tor tonight's
return TV-radio 10-rounder with
Valdes "so's I can beat him Im
pressively this .time and clinch the
title fight."
But an unset defeat by tall Nino,
the 9-5 underdog, would blast
Baker out of the running for Rocky
Marciano's championship and. the
riches that go with It. for there's
no contract for a return bout.
Valdes sad today, "I Knoci
heem out In seex roun's."
Pittsburgh Bob Is getting a flat
$11,000 for tonight's engagement
with the lanky, broad-shouldered
Cuban over whom he won a dis
puted decision at Huntington, W.
Vr . Mav 21. 1963. Nino and Man
ager Bobby Oleason claim to be
getting more for having accepted
Baker's invitation to the brawl.
Entering the ring, Big Bob Is
ranked second among heavyweight
contenders; Nino, third. But Baker
already is in position to press for
a fight wltn Marciano Because mig
rated Archie Moore was knocked
out by Marciano on 8ept. 31.
Sam Snead
Looking To
Miami Action
MIAMI BEACH, Pla. (UP) Sam
Snead looked confidently toward
the H,500 Miami Open golf tour
nament toda as a chance to pick
up a little more "vacation" ex
pense money.
None of some 14 golfing "tour
ists'" were close when Snead
picked up a 1500 dewn payment
on his annual winter visit to Flor
ida Tuesday by shooting a slx-under-par
69 to win the La Oorce
Pro-Memtwr tournament.
The runners-up Walker In
man. Jr., of Augusta, Oa and
Ed Furgol of 8t. Louis were
three shots back of West Virginia's
ageless golf king with 68s. Snead
teamed with Miami Architect Rob
ert M. Little to shoot a best-ball
62 and share victory with two
otlier teams In the pro-member
division of the one-day tourney.

finals of any event, if he stays
up and reaches the finals,"' Hart
wlg asserted. "He Just lets down
at the wrong time."
Meanwhile, the pro tour should
be a good "draw." Both Gonzales
and Trabert realize that the win
ner Is virtually certain to have
another year's work against Hoad
come next year. As Kramer said:
"The winner is In line to play
a great amateur named Hoad."
It makes for a knock-down, drag
out tour. And if you want a good,
solid bet, don't overlook Richard
Alonzo (Pancho) Gonzales, the
mauling Mexican with the two
year plan.
All-America Bill Russell, certain
to draw big crowds on the tour,
was again the key man lor tne
Dons In Tuesday night's easy tri
umph. The slx-11 sensation played
only 22!, minutes but sank 20
points and nabbed 17 rebounds.
STATE RALLIES
Five other highly-ranked teams

Wake Forest seized a 49-45 lead
In the first minute of the second

Make Deal
CHICAGO (UP) The Chicago
Cubs and Brooklyn Dodgers aren't
through trading yet. The second
half of the deal which sent third
baseman Ransom Jackson to the
world champion Dodgers was ex
pected to be concluded within the
next week.
The Cubs, who got outfielder
Walt Moryn and third baseman
Don Hoak for Jackson, hoped to
come up with one of the Dodgers'
front line pitchers in 'chapter
two" of their talks with Dodger
Vice-President Buzzy Bavasl.
Speculation centered around
righthander Russ Meyer, who
makes a habit of beating the Cubs.
For Meyer, the Cubs will have
to give up one of their pitchcis.
Player Personnel Director Wld
Matthews of the Cubs would not
say who the Cubs will give up
for Meyer, but reports centered
about John Andre and lefthanders
Paul M inner and Jim Davis.
Matthews said the pnly reason
the other part of the deal could
not be completed at the major
leagues' meeting here was that
"Bavasl could not get hold of his
man.'
Matthews did not elaborate any
further but it appeared Bavasl
wanted to consult with Manager
Walter Alston, the new pride oi
Brooklyn, before making the deal
official.
"You can be sure of one thing,"
Matthews said. "There will be a
second deal. That's a promise."
The Cubs' energetic personnel
director, who took the spol light
away from his former cross tovn
trading genius, Frank Lane,, with
his deal with the Dodgers, said
the second trade "will be a player
for player,trade."
Sources close to the Cubs said
only pitchers were involved in the
second half of the trade.

ROCHESTER, N.Y. (UP) it's
still too early to count Ezzard
Charles out of the heavyweight
picture.
The former champion kept his
comeback hopes alive Tuesday
night when he pounded out a unan
imous 10-round decision over Toxle
Hall of Chicago that avenged a
loss i to Rocky Marciano's stable-
mate last month.
Charles took command of the
bout at the outset and seemed to
get stronger as It progressed.
There were no knockdowns but
Charles stunned the stubby Hall
with a right to the Jaw as the
bell sounded ending the eighth
round.
Hall, 19114, tried to move inside
at the beginning of the bout but
was kept at long range by Charles'
left hooks. The bout was the first
major boxing event In the new
War Memorial Stadium.
Charles, of Cincinnati, weighed in
at 197 Va pounds.
