Segal played smoothly, but Alex

Disqualified From Doubles
Tournament officials promptly
disqualified O l m e d o and his
doubles partner, Earl Buchholz
Jr., of St. Louis from further
competition in the tournament.

Tournament chairman C. P.
Hennessy issued a statement say-
ing:
"Olmedo has been defaulted by
us in interest of better tennis for
the spectators and players. Dr.
James Beatty, official referee, has
okayed this. An official protest
will be filed as soon as possible to
the U. S. Lawn Tennis Assn."
Dr. Perry Jones, captain of the
U. S. Davis Cup team, attributed
Olmedo's actions to "accumulated
mental fatigue" resulting from
his long trip here from Eurdpe
and the recent acclaim he has re-
ceived for his tennis successes.
Renee Schuurman of South
Africa pulled an unexpected but
nowhere near as spectacular up-
set, eliminating defending three-
time-women's champion, Mrs.
Dorothy Head Knode of Forest
Hills, N. Y., in the quarterfirials,
7-5, 8-6.

match, the crowd began to boo
after each point and when it was
over, they loosed an angry bar-
rage of booing and whistling at
the top-seeded star.
Olmedo told newsmen, "Don't
talk to me now."
Segal, the" third-seeded foreign
player in the tournament, stalked
off the court and slumped before
his locker. Someone consoled him,.
"Don't feel bad. It's not your
fault."

NEW YORK (f)-Promoter Bill
Rosensohn, who took a $40,000 loss
on the first fight, yesterday figured;
the Ingemar Johansson-Floyd Pat-
terson heavyweight title encore
would gross an overall $3,500,000!

He said Sept. 22 at Yankee Sta-I
dium was the likely time and place'
for the return meeting that could
bring each fighter over a million
dollars if the rosy dreams ma-
terialize.
Just back from a vacation in
Los Angeles, the 39-year-old New
Yorker said he intended to run the
entire promotion himself and that
included theater-television.a
Talk to Johansson
"I'll have to see what Ingemar
has to say and I'll see him in Swe-
den soon," said Rosensohn. "I'm
going over there July 24 to talk to
him. He's easy to get along with
and wants to fight where there's

"I've won the Olymp;ic cham-
pionship. (25-84), so there's
nothing else to try for but Owens'
record."
Bell is going to clash head-to-
head with a 21-year-old Russian
who is being touted as a potential
record breaker behind the Iron
Curtain.
His name is Igor Ter-Ovanes-
yan, and he got off a jump of
26J3:V2 three months ago. That
was the first 26-foot-plus jump
ever by a non-American. Now the
jubilant Russians are talking in
terms of 26-10.
"Well," said Bell, "we shall see
just how good he is. I do think
he's a comer, though. He seems
to be very consistent. I have a
vague recollection of him in the
Olympics in 1956. He fouled out,
and that's too bad. But he was
young and the pressure probably
got him.
"I don't know if I'll be able to
beat him in the meet. You know,
at 29, I'm an old man in this busi-
ness. Since being in dental school
I've been out of training, and, in
fact, I've been working out for
only a couple :of weeks."
