Their odyssey will be almost secret, and some places they may be the first to use the dirt roads leading into backwoods areas, as they were at Reston, Va. They have a good game, one that sold most of the seats for five days of the U.S. Pro singles at Longwood. Unfortunately they are loosely organized and torn between two factions: the Gonzales group, consisting of TCir-hard A1 Rodney in the ninth game Ezinicki Still Tough and went round the stadium BARRY MacKAY By BUD COLLINS Kenny Rosewall is bothered by dermatitis, homesickness, diminutiveness but not by any tennis player in the world. He was supposed to be in eclipse, surpassed by Rodney Laver, but when came down to a one-match showdown for the U.S.

Pro Championship, it was Roswall: crash, 6-4, 6-3. 6-3. That took 85 minutes on the green at Longwood Cricket Club Monday, and when it was over with the 3500 customers applauding wildly, a lot of problems had been solved for Rosewall. His dermatitis a rash brought on by nerves was not itching. He was going home to Sydney to see Wilma and the kids after three months on the road, and he had a first place check for $3000.

There was nothing he could do about his size 5-8 and 142 pounds so, as usual, he merely chopped the enemy up into little ineffective pieces. This magnificent performance of the 30-year-old Rosewall made him feel almost as good as the money. "You know, in all my rivalries with Lew Hoad, since 1946 when we were both 11 and with Pancho Gonzales and now Laver as pros, ifc was never Rosewall wins. It was Hoad loses, or Gonzales loses," Rosewall said. "I've never had the personality that caught the public fancy." He did have the strokes the withering backhand, the unfailing returns of service, the volleys that behaved like puppets.

He had the legs and the reflexes so that he could slide beneath a clover to get the most elusive shot. And all this was going for Rosewall the last two days, so that he scored a double-dip coup, wiping out Gonzales and Laver in six straight, decisive sets. "Ah yes, that felt pretty good. It's nice to beat them," Kenny said. Gonzales did come up with $1500 by beating Butch Buch-holz for third place, 36, 75, 63.

Butch got $1000, Laver $2000 for their trouble. Laver wasn't serving well, but he started favorably by breaking Rosewall's serve in the second game and taking a 3-0 lead. That was as close as he came to keeping the championship. Rosewall, the victor in 1963 (over Laver in the final, in New York), began stroking his inner fire with backhand returns. He had the break back in the seventh game, broke on top by overturning roaring.

Laver tried to stone him to death with cascading drives. Rosewall stood up to him, and patted the drives to either side with stop volleys. When Laver sought the net, he got a crook in his neck lob-watching. If he hung back and groundstroked with Rosewall, the result was thrilling rallies such as seldom are seen on grass. And the result also was the points went to Rosewall.

He passed, punched and pulverized. It is hard to remember Rosewall making a bad shot. He was an octopus on a skateboard, and his Summer was having a happy ending.

An alleged would-be housebreaker who appeared in District Court Monday with a black eye and assorted bruises met the former National Hockey League star over the week-end. Ezinicki now is the golf pro at New Scabury C.C.

Pond charged Jenny with breaking and entering in the night-time. He testified Jenny had placed Mrs. Ezinicki and her children in fear by prying open the door. "And was the man of the house home?" asked Judge Henry L. Murphy.

"Yes," said Pond, looking at Jenny's black eye, "that's how the damage was done." Jenny was ordered held for a grand jury and was locked up because he could not post $2000 cash bail. (Pancho) Gonzales, and the Barry MacKay group, encompassing the other 11 players seen here. MacKay is the tour administrator, but not he or anyone can get Gonzales to agree to much of anything. Actually, every one of the players has his own idea on how the game should be promoted and run, and when they meet there is about as much unanimity as in French politics. "Things are getting better.

Last year," says MacKay, "we had nothing and we built it into a pretty good circuit. The prize money increased this year, and it will keep increasing, we think. We have nine tournaments practically signed for next year including the championship in Boston." Acutely aware of how television made everyone conscious of golf, the pros are hopeful of getting their share of TV exposure. They haven't been very successful, and this frustrates them because they know their game televises better and has more action than. golf.

There is. however, the time element in tennis. Sponsors are wary of a production that could stretch to three or four hours as the National Indoors (amateur) championship did the last two years. The TV network that aired those matches has lost interest Herman Denies Failing to Aid Conig's Hitting Decause oi me uncertainty on the length of matches. Unlike eolf.

After all, isn't Herman the same guy who tutored Tony C. at the bat throughout his brilliant rookie season last year? "Why doesn't he (Herman) come to the batting cage and help me?" Conigliaro questioned reporters when he was benched by Herman in Cleveland Saturday night. tain holes on schedule, there is no guarantee of where you will be at a given hour of a tennis match.

Now after reading that, one could only assume that Manager Billy Herman had not spoken to Tony Conigliaro this year about Tony's hitting, and therefore didn't try to correct Conigliaro's hitting flaws. Now let's get Herman's side: "If he said that I have not talked to him about his hitting, or that I have not tried to help him with his hitting, it is not true," said Herman. "So far this season I would estimate that I have wine as a nau-nour or sxretcned to an hour, or more, kji juuie. feel- 4- uDiigmgiy, Boston press reported Tony's leei nfVASl impressed by the possibilities ings about being benched which included the follow of VAbbS at NewDort. none wants tn load iha i.

"At one stretch the time the fans at Fenway were riding him a bit I talked to him five straight days. "Last Wednesday, the day after the All-Star game, we had practice and I called him in off the field. We sat in the dugout together and I talked to him about Willie Mays hitting against Sam McDowell in the game. "When Mays had a 3 and 2 count he shortened up on the bat and protected the plate against striking out.

This is what I have been after Tony all year to do. So I was trying to use the Mays example to illustrate my point that even the best protect the plate with two strikes." So now that the question is answered we obviously have one conclusion to draw. Tony Conigliaro must think Billy Herman is Pete Runnels. No wonder he's going bad. He's been talking to the wrong guy all year.

Silent Sam Mele seldom gets excited. But when he does, Sam makes it good. His first big league encounter with overexuber-ance came as a wrestling opponent of Ted Williams on the Red Sox. Ted and Sam were going at it playfully on a train to Philly in '43 when Sam bear-hugged Williams from behind, and cracked two of Ted's ribs.

This is understandable, because nobody likes to Jump off the edge with something new. Unfortunately the players do not have a mature, imaginative director (as golf had in Fred Corcoran) to guide them and to see beyond their individual considerations and outlooks. They need a leader badly a man with business sense, the respect of all the players, and the authority to act for the group and game's best interest. Most maddening to those who would like to see the pros advance and take the game up with them is the present amateur situation. Until the U.S.L.T.A.

leads the way in bringing honesty into the amateur game, tennis will have a tough time succeeding in a big way. The U.S.L.T.A. should either insist on complete honesty in payments to players (which is rather unrealistic) or embrace open competition. The tennis we saw at Longwood was superb because these players were pros, and pros in every game are better. Promising athletes want to be pros.

Until the pro game is healthy and a kid can consider a career in pro tennis as in golf or baseball tennis will stay bush league and the best athletes will be attract-d to other sports. shot.

GLOBE GOLF Page 19 By TOM FITZGERALD Tom Cavicchi, a scholarly-looking 15-year-old from the Furnace Brook club, carried out a hectic but rewarding program on a couple of golf courses Monday. In the morning, the son of Quincy Police Lt Roy Cavicchi whizzed around South Shore C.C.

in Hingham for a quick but impressive performance of 74. Tom just about had time to note that his score tied him the top of the 14-15 standing of The Globe Boys 'Golf tourney with the earlier-finishing Randy Gallo of Plymouth. Then he bolted down his lunch and hustled down Rte. 3A to Cohasset C.C. At Cohasset, Cavicchi qualified for the main flight of the South Shore Junior Championship with a 78.

He signed that card, and jumped into Globe man Kevin Walsh's car for a return trip to South Shore and a sudden death playoff for the championship trophy against Gallo. The overtime was a quick affair, with Cavicchi executing a delicate eight-iron chip close by the cup for a par four, while Gallo had a five despite a good rescue operation from a tangled lie of tall grass and brush far beyond the green. Why does Imperial continue to be one of the world's leading whiskies? vtf; A The playoff, first in the four years of the Globe tournament, provided a dramatic conclusion to a lively program in which 149 boys competed in two divisions on a surprisingly sparkling day following the week-end cloudbursts and dire forecasts. Co-leaders Cavicchi and Gallo were only one shot off the tournament record of 73 made a year ago by Wayne Blanchard of Reservation. Blanchard, who earned considerable popularity by going to the third round of the recent State Amateur, couldn't approach his '64 standard.

Bedeviled by short gama deficiencies over the first nine, Wayne landed in a four-way tie for fourth place with 41-3778. The third position was clinched by Jack Hassett of Lowell's Mt. Pleasant club who went one under par for his last seven holes in a 40-3676 round. Cavicchi, a junior at Archbishop Williams High and No. Two man on the school's golf team, got an early lift with a 90-foot chip into the cup for a deuce on the second hole.

Tom wheeled in a 20-footer for another two on the 11th and i 10-footer for a birdie three on tht 13th. His big trouble spot was the par-four sixth where he took a six after a hooked drive and a second which hit a tree. Gallo played with rare steadiness although he could not negotiate a birdie.
