Dial 2.5881 You can count fe te me By JIM COBB Citizens Sports Editor Big Jack Kramer showed Key West tennis fans why he holds the title of World’s Professional Ten- nis Champion yesterday when his booming forehand proved to be too much for Austraiia’s Frank Sedg- man who bowed ‘n straight sets, 6-4, 64. The Californian won the first set handily snd then over- came_a three game lead that Sedg- man managed to build up to take the second. The match was play- ed before a good sized gallery on the Casa Marina courts. i*In the curtain opener, Ecuador's Pancho Segura gained an impres- sive win over Australian Ken Mc- Gregor, 6-2, and then loafed along jto,drop a second set by the same score. In the feature match, Sedgman |jumped into an early lead when jhis short game clicked nicely but jKramer came back to demon» | trate his mastery when he coolly carried the game to his opponent with booming, well placed fore- hand shots that kept his smaller ‘opponent scampering around the court.

In the Segura-McGregor match, the colorful Ecuadorian copped the first two games easily, punc- tuated with his characteristic screams and comments directed at himself.

Donald E. Rowe of Fanwood, N. J., Dr. F. B. Brewer of Atlan- ta, Ga., and Albert Perrault of Ithaca, N. Y. each caught a 25 Jb. Barracuda. Two 26 Ib ones were caught by C. A.

That's what Buick engineers did when they upped the power and compression of each 1953 Buick ~SrectaL, Surer and ROADMASTER — to the highest figures in Buick’s fifty-year history. In the Super and RoapMaster, they put a new kind of V8 Engine—first passenger- cer V8 with 85 to 1 compression, and a long list of other major engineering advances.
