S. national indoor tennis championship by beating Kurt Nielson of Denmark 3-6, 6-1, 6-4, in New York. This was first all-European all-European final since 1927. Part of the Game BASEBALL Commissioner Ford Frick may have been more right than he knew when he said recently that the game Is suffering from a "fear complex." He was speaking about another subject, but each year the Minors are afraid that the Majors will squeeze them out of existence; the players are afraid they won't get raises they earned through a good last season; the players in the Minors are afraid they will never get up to the big leagues; and the big leaguers lea-guers are afraid they'll be sent downstairs to the minors. The managers man-agers are afraid they'll have a bad season and the owners they're afraid their clubs won't draw crowds as well as they did last year. It's one big vicious circle . . . There's another big fear, too. Every time a club trades off a player, they fear they traded him off just before his "best,year." More than one expert is forecasting that this might be the case where Vic Raschi is concerned. The former New York Yankee hurler Is expected to shine for the Cards. |
