By GERTRUDE WILSON Raphael Osuna, Mexico Davis .Cup star, won t United States National Championships at the Wt Side Tennis Club in Forest Hills on Sunday from Fra Froehling, III, of Coral Gables, Fla., in a demonstrati of finesse over power which will be discussed wh snows cover the grass courts. Osuna won in stright sets' 7-5, 6-4. 6-2, standing oftentimes up to 25 feet behind the base­ line to recede Froehling's vici­ ous serve, moving forward to the baseline and back again, In a strategy which intrigued the au­ dience. teammate, dashing the he of those wh had hoped to see from the ATA ranks hit the time in the USLTA tournam won Lacks Concentration Ashe certainly is playing calibre of tennis which sb< backward two or three feet American and world ter though he has not reached peak. Oddly enough, there i lack of tension and concer tion in his game which vet< observers feel is now essei before he can reach champ ship form. If ever proof were needed that mastery of stroke, volley serve and return of service — the total game — was needed, it dem­ onstrated by the match between Osuna and Forehling on the cen­ ter court that day. Osuna came through, and was not to be deni­ ed. as he had come through the whole tournament, cool unhar­ ried. efficient, and concentrating (on the winning point. He played beautiful tennis. Not to be outdone, the wom­ en’s final, with Maria Bueno, of Brazil, triumphing over 1st seed­ ed Margaret Smith of Australia, gave the 15,000 people there a demonstration in power and ver­ satility in tennis from the distaff side that was well-worth coming to see. Arthur Ashe, number one seed­ ed player in the American Ten­ nis Association, and first Negro Davis Cup player, was forced to default in the mixed doubles, which he was playing with Carl Hanks, because the Davis Cup team left for Denver on Friday to prepare for the matches with Venezuela which will be played on the 13th, 14th and 15th of September. Ashe was put out in the third of the Men's Singles by Reissen, his Davis Cup The hard hitting, flashy Monter-1 ey Debs wrapped up the Inter boro Slo-Pitch softball champion­ ship by scoring its lSth victory over Rocky's. The Monterey Debs who have suffered only one de­ feat this season, are good enough to play a good men’s softball team as long as the pitchers use the slo-pitch. The Monterey Debs are coached by Herby Holder who takes his Job seriously and the team appreciates him. Every member of the Monterey is out­ standing but one or two glitter at times. Take the sturdy catch­ er Betty "Boo” Wright who blocks the plate like Roy Campanella and outfielders Joan Council and Joan Dash who give every fly bail that Willie Mays tries. Thelma Stevens' handling of the second base position is profession­ al and the team's ace pitcher Helen ••Venus" White usually keeps her bathers on the defensive. Oth­ er members of the championship team .are Gloria Hardy, Dee Dec, Helen Childs, Jeanette Fisher, Thelnaa Stevens and Delores White Teams in the loop are N.Y. Aces, Astoria Rattlers, Cozyettes, Mar cyettes and Bronx Casuals. Talking about the Bronx Cas aals :the team which has had difficulty in winning this season scored an upset victory over the Rattlers. Pitcher Grace Gesslein handled the Rattlers with ease with excellent support from her teammates . . . Talking about girls brings up the 28th Precinct PAL girls track team and the desire of James Freeman, a for­ mer heavyweight boxer who is the youth patrolman and his coach Audrey Taylor, to field a good team Among aspiring track stars are Patricia Harris, Marlene Birk ett, Barbara Heard, Deborah Wright, Beverly Lewis, Irene Lewis, Sylvia Gates, Patsy Stew­ art, Georgette Jones, Doris Gra­ ham. Cynthia Williams, Tessie Carter. Barbara Jenkins, Belinda Edwards. Gloria White, Charlene Hayes and Josephine Bush. Leroy Otis, a tall, lean man who has devoted his life to the youths, moulded another cham­ pionship team when his Inter­ state pre-teenage team won the Columbia-Community title. Otis a few years ago took a young basketball team out west and took on the best in the country. Ollie Edinboro believes in get­ ting an early start. Ollie has al­ ready cut down his basketball squad and the season is a month away. “I don't want to be caught napping," coach Edinboro said. .. Now that the Boston Celtics pur­ chased Willie Naulls does that mean that the Knicks don’t know good basketball talent since they traded Naulls? ... The Giants may not be a one-man team but without Willie Mays to spur it on the team Just drags along.

It appears that Ashe is perimenting with technique trying to bring his game tog er. and has lost consistency , the process. Particularly noticeable Is stance on receiving sen where he plants himself well side the baseline, and then ra< backward two or three fett to receive, which leaves him re­ treating from forthright serves such as Reissen can deliver, ra­ ther than moving into them, and attacking for return of service. It is rare to find fault with a relaxed player, but many feel that Ashe now needs more ten­ sion than he brings to his game D|i He wears his wrist watch, for ■ IWIIIWwl» State Sets Hearing On TRACK QUEEN — Coach Audrey Taylor poses with four of the 28th Precinct PAL's Commissioners Franc is X.

At ease, he can spare a grin for a linesman, or time to applaud one of his own shots in a clown­ ing way. There's no doubt that he is an engaging player, and that such coolness is an asset at times, but it is simply too much of a good thing for a young player who has played with the best, and beaten some of them at times. He did beat Osuna for instance, last Spring in the NCAA tourna­ ment, and met Dennis Ralston in the finals of that tournament. With Ralston, Chuck McKinley, Scott, and Roy Emerson all left by the wayside In this tournament, and particularly with Osuna’s beautiful, no-non­ sense performance, as an ex ample, it is to be hoped that American teftnis- will settle down to the essentials of the game Bronx Youths Invited To 'nil Program speed cham in the sclioopyard right: Georgette Jones, Linda of PS 144 after they received McDuffie, Wanda Queen, Miss individual trophies.
