...Edmund Lillys, owner of Manhattan's Gloucester House: "We are upset to see something disturbed that has been around 1,966 years, or something like that."* In the face of the threat, fish producers, canners and distributors have begun to fight back. Except for such giants as the Ralston Purina Co. (Chicken of the Sea and White Star canned tuna) and HJ. Heinz Co. (Star Kist), the industry has been listless in promoting fish, slow in keeping up with innovations in packaging and convenience foods. Warns New York Fishery Council Director John Von Glahn: "The industry will...
...tune-up for the Davis Cup competition, the Brazilian and U.S. teams played in last month's South American championships at Buenos Aires. The tournament was won by Texas' Cliff Richey, 19, the U.S.'s No. 3-ranked player-behind Dennis ("the Menace") Ralston and Arthur Ashe; in the process, Richey beat both of Brazil's Davis Cuppers, Thomaz Koch, 21, and Edison Mandarine, 25. Cliff's victory seemed suspiciously easy to many observers, but U.S. Captain George Mac-Call, a Los Angeles insurance broker with no big-time playing experience...

Visibly rattled by noisy spectators, who chanted "Brasil! Bra-sil!" from the third set onward, he collapsed completely in the fifth...
...only veteran on the team was Dennis ("The Menace") Ralston, 24, who ranks No. 1 in the U.S. and plays like it when he can keep a lid on his temper. Last week the only menacing thing about Dennis was his game. Mixing riflelike base-line shots with lobs, he ran Mexico's Star Rafael Osuna, 27, into the ground with a four-set victory...
...Davis Cup singles berth. At Cleveland last week, he had the backhand to go with his searing forehand and serve. In the first singles match, he beat Mexico's Joaquin Loyo-Mayo 6-0, 4-6, 6-1, 3-6, 6-3, then went out next day with Ralston in the doubles and took only 59 minutes to demolish Osuna and Loyo-Mayo 6-1, 6-4, 6-0. That clinched the best out of five series...
