TRABERT DISPOSES OF SEIXAS IN THREE SETS TO WIN FOREST HILLS FINAL
Forest Hills, New York, Sept. 7.
Tony Trabert of Cincinnati, returning to the nationals after service in the U.S. Navy, overwhelmed Vic Seixas of Philadelphia today and won the U.S. Tennis Singles Championship, 6-3, 6-2, 6-8,
Moving on to the Centre Court shortly after Miss Maureen Connolly of San Diego, California, won her third straight women's crown, by downing Miss Doris Hart of Coral Gables, Florida, 6-2, 6-4, the 23-year-old Cincinnati Davis Cup player threw everything he had at the Wimbledon Champion with a power attack that Seixas simply could not handle on the critical points.

A Boxer's Manager Who Is Different
"They can't hurt us." How many times have you heard that phrase altributed to boxing managers who have over-matched their fighters, not for the sake of the hanpur and glory that victory might brink, but just, so. that they could get 25 percent of, plenty?
Many times, I know. Now here's the story of a mannger who's been "taking it" for his fighter for three years, to get him his big chance, and has, in fact, taken so much that he might miss the opportunity of being on hand to see his man try to achleve what he's been lighting for.
"Naturally, I hope to represent the US, in the Davis Cup against Australia in December," he said. "I think we can beat, then and get back the Cup."-United Press.
