Pout, Curse, Hurl. For the first time in years, the U.S.'s top-seeded player has some sturdy new seedlings to back him up. In the third-ranked slot, behind McKinley and Emerson, is Denny Ralston, 21, of Bakersfield, Calif. When Ralston is good, he is very, very good. When he is bad, he pouts, curses, hurls rackets and tortures himself with despair. On top of his form, this year he has won the national indoor singles and doubles, the national intercollegiate singles and doubles, and his share of the Davis Cup matches against Mexico.

...Dennis Ralston: the national indoor tennis championship, by beating Britain's Mike Sanfjster, 22, in four hard-fought sets with his smoking ground shots and slicing service at Manhattan's Seventh Regiment Armory. Though Ralston, 20, is considered one of the best U.S. tennis prospects in years, his incendiary temper has often been his undoing; his racket slamming and blue language in a 1961 Davis Cup match against Mexico earned him a four-month suspension.

Seigenthaler quit to work for Bobby Kennedy in Washington...

Kelleher chose Dennis ("The Menace") Ralston, 20, a temperamental Californian whose best showing was as a member of the winning Wimbledon doubles team in 1960, but whose uninspired play since then ranks him only eleventh on the list of U.S. players. In the first set, the U.S. had a 4-2 lead when Ralston's service fell apart. For the first time in Davis Cup memory, a game was lost at love on four successive double faults. Quick to seize the advantage, Osuna and Palafox fought...
