Star Netters Pace Tourney CLEVELAND (F)—The big stars are still in the running as the 24th national professional tennis tournament reaches the quarter-finals stage today. Two singles matches are slated tonight, and the matches now run best three-of-five sets instead of two-of-three. Welby Van Horn of Philadelphia, 1945 pro king and fourth-ranking among the play-for-pay netters, meets Pancho Segura, the two-fisted Ecuadorian stroker who rates No. 5. The last contest of the night is between Frank Kovacs of Oakland, Calif., No. 3 pro, and Frankie Parker, the thin-faced Milwaukee netter who turned pro last fall after a long amateur career that included two national championships. Kovacs, Parker and Segura all came through with victories yesterday, and so did Big Jack Kramer of Los Angeles, the 1948 pro king who is regarded as the chief rival for defending champion Bobby Riggs, also of Los Angeles. The other quarter-finalists are Riggs and Van Horn, who did not play singles matches yesterday; Jack March of Cleveland who upset Gene Mako of Los Angeles 6-3, 1-6, 6-3 yesterday; and Carl Earn of Los Angeles, brawny sixth-ranking pro, who polished off Al Doyle of Millbrook, N. Y., 6-3, 6-2. Eight Certain in Golden West Trot Eight Certain in Golden West Trot ARCADIA, Calif.

There are four nationally known 135-pounders operating here, and a fifth is trying to wedge back in. As a problem, it is a matchmaker's dream. By shuffling matching and rematching, they should keep the turnstiles going all summer and into the fall. The top four, in diplomatic, alphabetical order, are Art (Golden Boy) Aragon, Enrique Bolanos, Carlos Chavez and Maxie (Little Duke) Docusen. The fifth is Rudy Cruz, who has a genius of making good fighters look bad, and making bad fights look the same way. Mr. Babe McCoy, the master-matcher of the city's largest arena, today announced the first of the "elimination" bouts—a rematch between Aragon and Bolanos early next month at the Olympic auditorium. They fought a torrid engagement several months ago. Aragon threw a desperation, last ditch punch and registered a 12th round knock-out. There Must Be An Easier Way ASBURY PARK, N.J.

The line broke and rather than lose the fish, Hueth jumped off the wall onto a hard sand strip. He broke one ankle and injured the heel of his other foot. Unable to walk, Hueth crawled into the surf, retrieved the end of the broken line and hung on. Finally someone noticed his plight and helped him out of the water. He was taken to Monmouth Memorial hospital in Long Beach where doctors said he'd be laid up for from three to six months. The bass weighed 19% pounds.

Contenders will be swinging until almost dark in the opening round of this rugged 72-hole test that has broken the hearts of champions.

Two days of near-90 temperatures have left the broad, undulating greens hard as concrete and slick as glass.

Middleweight king Jake Lamotta and former champion Rocky Graziano, who are working out at their respective camps for their June 28, 15-round title bout at the Polo grounds, both say they could knock out Robinson. Lamotta has been instructed by the National Boxing Association to give Robinson a chance at his middleweight crown within 90 days, if he beats Graziano. The same edict doubtlessly will apply to the Rock if he beats Lamotta. Lamotta lost to Robinson in four of the five meetings they've had, but said yesterday: "I'd like to fight him again, but in a 20-round bout, I'd knock him out for sure." Graziano's aggressive words were: "I'll knock Robinson stiff. I'll take that cocky guy anytime, in a gym, ring or an alley. I want to fight him more than any other guy. I'll take him on after Lamotta, win, lose or draw." Michigan State's new basketball coach, Pete Newell, has appointed as his assistant John Bennington, who starred for Newel at San Francisco U."
