...form for a while; later they faltered, but not so badly as their opponents. On a soggy, rain-soaked court last week in Melbourne's Kooyong Stadium, Australia's Ken Rosewall beat Seixas in the final of the Victorian Tournament, but that did not take the spotlight off floundering Lew Hoad (who had just turned 20 last fortnight). Hoad had barely stumbled through his opening match with Britain's young (20) Roger Becker. Then, in a match with Sweden's Sven Davidson, he eked out a precarious five-set victory.

After Cleveland's Al Smith homebred on the first pitch of the game, Antonelli shut out the Indians, striking out nine and leaving 13 men on base. Rhodes drove in the tying run in the fifth...
