...final matches were just a formality. In stifling heat (three spectators collapsed), Trabert beat Nakano, 6-4, 7-5, 6-0; Savitt beat Kumamaru, 6-4, 6-2, 3-6, 6-1. Though the Japanese did not distinguish themselves on the slow courts at Louisville, U.S. tennis fans will get a chance to see their stubborn base-line play on the faster grass of the tennis circuit (Southampton, Orange, Newport and the Nationals at Longwood and Forest Hills). And Ichy is looking ahead. He figures that in another couple of years the younger Japanese players will...

...like many other American citizens, am suffering from protonopia, a condition which makes it impossible for me to distinguish the color red. The more common, if inaccurate, term for this is color-blindness. I have had my condition since birth and have never found it a handicap (I am a licensed automobile operator) but when I faced the new exam schedule I found it composed entirely of indistinguishable blobs of lighter and darker gray...
