A fortnight ago, the U.S. pair was within a game of beating the invincible Aussie combination of Frank Sedgman and Ken McGregor, U.S. and Wimbledon champions.

Shields says he has one hope left: the chance of the Navy's transferring Trabert to Australia for temporary duty just at Davis...
...Australia's Frank Sedgman, new U.S. National men's singles champion, and Maureen Connolly, new National women's singles queen (TIME, Sept. 17), the Pacific Southwest tennis championships; in Los Angeles. Playing on the Los Angeles Tennis Club's cement courts, Sedgman swept to his victory in the final over Cincinnati's Tony Trabert, 6-3, 6-3, 2-6, 6-4, while Maureen, a day short of her 17th birthday, defeated Santa Monica's Beverly Baker, 9-7, 6-4. ¶Professional Golfer Betsy Rawls, 23, of Austin, Texas, the Women...
