is ironic thai tlie best amateur totinis player in (he country today, Vic Seixas of Philadelphia, is so little known that the average fair can't even pronounce his name. Vic reached the finals of the J951 National champion.ship.s-, when; lie was defeated by Frank of Australia. The name is pronounced sayshus, and somewhere in the past 11 was Portuguese. The plumbing heir turned 2D only three days ayo. Vic began playing tennis when he was six.

lie has been playing it steadily ever since except for a year hitch as an Army fighter pilot. Seixas won the National Intcr- schblaslic crown when he was 17, and the New South Wales tournament at Sydney last winter. 'In between, the name Seixas meant little more to the tennis world than that of a very nice, graceful fellow who played a good game. He says now that tho trouble probably was that, until last year, he never had a chance to play an extended stretch of tennis against the world's best.

AL ROSEN Slugger Rosen Tells What to Do for Hitting By MILTON RICHMAN NEW YORK (U1 and proper timing are the two aasic ingredients that all good hitters must have, insists slugging Al Rosen of the Cleveland Indians.

"Of course," he grinned, "it doesn't hurl to be lucky, loo, but young fellow has sufficient confidence, plus the proper timing, 'ie can develop into a good hitler." Before stepping up to tho plate hit, Rosen advises a careful study Ihe bats in Hie rack. Bat Selection always lell young fellows to select a bal they can swing without -oo much effort," he explains. "The Ihcse days seems lo be toward bigger ami heavier bats and for that reason youngsters often choose a slick that's, loo big for thorn; "After gcttllng the proper bat, t's Important lhal the hitter make limself comfortable in the batter's jox. He should pick out a comfortable stance, not one that he copied from some big leaguer, and ie should have full vision of Die pitcher. 'Another tendency among young fellows today Is that thoy over- swing.

They try lo kill the bnll every time and knock it over the 'cnce. They don't realize they'd do so much better if Ihey kept their eyes on the ball, take a level swing ind didn't, jerk their head up so nuch." On tho sandlols, just as in Ihc najors, many batters arc bothered by side arm pitching, Rosen points out. Ready to Swing "The only way lo combal side pitching," he says, "is to stand 'Irm In the bailer's box and be ready lo swing us Ihc bull comes over the plate. Remember, whether pitcher is a side-armor or a he still has lo put ho ball in Ihc slrikc zone." Rosen says he tries lo hil every pitch Ihc same way. 'J don't change my swing against different pitchers," he cx- ilains, "but it Is advisable lo change your lhat, I noan move up or down in Ihc baler's the opposing pitcher ias, a particularly good curve or "ast one.

"Generally, you move up in the jox against sharp-breaking curve balls, and back in the box against overwhelming fast balls." If a hitter loses his confidence, Ihc muscular Indians' star, lie licked before he faces Ihe pitcher. Lost Confidence "Most slumps are due to loss of confidence," he points out. "Some litters start lo feel they'll never emerge from a slump and as result their worth lo themselves and their team suffers. "They start to change their swing, their stance and their entire stylo which, I think, is wrong. All do is get themselves more fouled up." Rosen stressed the importance of a smooth, complete follow-through after Ihe bal makes contact with the ball, "Some youngsters stop their swing uflcr hilling Ihc ball," he said.

"They may nol realize il but they arc robbing themselves of distance. A poor follow-through generally goes hnnd-ih-hand with a weak hitter."
