THE PRESS BOX.

By JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, Feb. 8—First thing I did in lunching with Frank Shields, captain of the Davis Cup team, the other day, was to apologize for having put him in the grease. I had blasted him for protesting an effort to elevate Dick Savitt from third to first in the national rankings. : It was typical of the young man's | character that he said: “I probably invited criticism. I chose the. wrong forum. But I couldn't sit back and see an injustice done to two other players and still live with myself.” . All this ties in with the controversial Davis Cup matches which the Americans lost to the Australians, not unexpectedly. As happens once in a while my unfavor- > able comments were based on inadequate information. Or rather on information which seemed reliable at the time. | The crux of the controversy, which was soon to become I mean and ridiculous, centered on two players. The veteran Ted Schroeder. Why did Shields play him? The younger Dick Savitt. | Why didn’t Shields play him?

Williams

IT WAS charged in the press (and not denied at the time) that Shields or/and the tennis fathers had made an under the table deal with Schroeder, who plays sparingly these days, that if he'd make the long trip to Australia he'd be used regardless of his competitive status. It develops this was an untruth. “I had complete charge of the personnel,” Shields told me. “I made no deal with Schroeder. I simply thought he could help us. So did he. Our interests are alike. We both have a deep feeling for the game and we were both anxious to bring the cup back.” Because Schroeder had played little tennis last season, even foregoing our nationals at Forest Hills, and was getting no younger while Savitt had previously.won in Australia and Wimbledon, Shields’ decision did seem questionable. Then when word came from the scene of the Cup matches that Savitt had been beating Schroeder with

regularity in informal tune-ups the mystery deepened. I

“That never happened, either,” Shields told me. “My recollection off hand is thot Schroeder and Savitt played 19 practice matches and that Savitt won only two.”

TODAY SHIELDS, at 41, is having trouble fighting off bitterness and disillusionment. To be named captain of the team was a high honor to the former play boy of the courts and he did not take his responsibilities lightly. For several months he disassociated himself from his bus- | iness to devote his entire attention to selecting, teaching ~ and conditioning the squad. His personal out of pocket expenses exceeded $3000. It was not an altogether happy experience. The Australian press did not ignore the internal strife which existed. The statement that Savitt had been beating Schroe- ~ der repeatedly.was cabled back to the land down under and duly publicized. It appedred the day Schroeder was to take the court in the all important doubles match. He read it and exploded. “Ted came to my room,” Shields told me. “Naturally, | he was furious. I tried to calm him down. We didn’t have much chance to win the doubles at best. With Schroeder | flaming we had none at all.” Shields summoned Savitt to his. room. “Dick | denied the interview. I requested he go to Schroeder and straighten the matter out. Some thirty minutes later I went tb Schroeder's room. They were still there. -Savitt was near hysteria and Schroeder was saying ‘I still don’t believe him.” That was the atmosphere in which we "started the doubles.” (Ed Note: The interview was written by Gayle Tal“hot, one of the nation's most highly esteemed sports reporters. ) Although this was a mediocre American team and Australia was heavily favored to win, our boys managed to make
