Today's Sport Parade By. Oscar Fraley (Reg. U. S- Pat. Off.) 0 __ 11 Forest Hills, N. Y. Sept. 20 (I'PI Richard Alonzo (Pancho) Gonzales balanced the National amateur tennis c rown on jetblack hair today but the stalwart young Mexican from Ixts Angeles still found it almost impossible to grasp his sudden rags-to-riches success. Joblessly riding the tennis circuit with only indifferent success, the Peck’s bad boy of the courts was catapulted into dazzling prominence by his final round victory over South Africa's Eric Sturgess. 6-2. 6-3. 14 12 "Phew.'' he grinned, the four-inch scar on his left cheek crinkling as he upended a bottle of beer "I can't still believe it. I didn't give it a thought that I might win the c hampionship Just played them as they came and all of a sudden, here I am. a champ" Thus did tennis pay off once again to the smiling, happy-go-lucky young man it saved from juvenile delinquency. There was a time when It appeared that young Pancho might go the wrong way back in the days when the loaflug young band of Mexic an lads known as the Zoot Suiters" were raising havoc in Los Angeles Hut Pancho's mother had an inspiration which saved het idle son from such company. She bought him a tennis racquet when he was 1.3 And the "bug" bit Pancho There was a time when the skill he showed almost went astray anyhow. because Pancho didn't like school. So. after two and a half years in high school, he quit "simply because I didn't like it." That put him in hot water with the ten nis fathers and knocked him off the tournament circuit. Then came another break, even though it didn't seem like it at the time Gonzales went Into the navy and served six months in the South Pacific as a seaman aboard a troop transport When he c ame home all was forgiven and he went back on the circuit last year Pancho didn't win anything, but he was getting back in the groove. So this season he was a tougher opponent as he won the national Clay courts crown, the Jersey state tournament and the Southampton invitation He belted over Davis cupper Frankie Parker, the tournament favorite, and then knocked off Czech Jaroslav Drobny. the husky Olympic hockey star And, in yesterday's finals, he toyed with the stylish Sturgess and showed lhe cppreciative gallery every shot in the book "I kept waiting for Pancho to make mistakes- -and he never did." Sturgess congratulated
