TIea:iEAKER RULE h_IRINGS CO'NFUST_oN: FILLOL
TURNS AsID:S Kocu IN Fivx-Ser TENNIS
FINAL
(By Mark Asher)
Jaime Fillot of Chile continued his high
level of tennis and defeated Thomc:z Ilocli
of Brazil,-6-1, 3-6, 6-4, G-'1, G-'=, for the
Buci:iy Pontiac International championship
yesterday at McKinley high School.
. The evers.rnatch between two South Alnerl-
cans, who had split six previous encounters
in the past two years, turned on Koch's con-
fusion about the rule. on v.'ho servos that fol-
lowidig best-of- nine-point tiebreaker ganxc.
-Koch serval tie final three points and
staved off a. quadruple match point to win
the fourth-set tiebreaker, 5-4. The tiebreaker
Is counted as a single game and In this case
was counted as Fillol's service game.
According to the rules Koch should serve
the next game. But Villol was given the
balls and served the first point of the fifth set
before Haig Tufenk, the umpire, rectified the
situation. Koch had won the point, v;hich
did not count. .
"I was confused," the long-haired Brazilian
sad. 'When I served I really wasn't In it."
SERVICE PRO13LEIIIS FIURT
Ruch lost his service and each player their
proceeded to-hold his servo for the remainciee
of the match. Hut Koch noted lie nev>r
should' have been In such a predica.inont
bec.tucci he lost a 4--2 jcjv%jjt,,-o in the third
se.t when lie ran Into service problems and
lost iG of 18 points in dropping four straight
games.
Tufcnk explained the tiebreaker situation:
"The probleul is that neither the players nor
the baliboys know the rules. It's the first
tilde the tiobreal:er has been used in Wash-
ington."
The tiebreaker is newly implemented on
the indoor circuit this year as tile game of
tennis reaches streamlined proporLlons for
television And attempts to lose its country
club ltuage.
grandstand sits tomorrow's Arthur Asho, a.
boy who can go to the top of professional
tennis, but be that ss It may, we are certaisl
that our matches and our high school (,:n-
ibs clinics will provide entertainment, chal-
leiige and personal fulfillment to the youth
of our Nation's Capital . . . none deserve
more.
Siaicerely,

ECERFBODY CONFUSED
Coilcidelltally, this player confusion arose
at the nation's flrst professional Indoor tour-
nanlent at an Indoor city facility. If the play-
ers were confused, imagine the confusion
of tile Inner-city youth to whom the tourna-
sneut was directed as a pilot project to expose
them to the Sport.
I? ollowing the match, one youngster turned
to a reporter and asked, "iley, mister. Who
boat?
In an informal survey, the youngsters' in
the crowd of 1,900 wore most confti,cd by
Ienthls' traditional scoring system, i-i?tcll
scores four points as 15, 30, 40 And geino.
They also wanted to know most about how
nluc:ll looney the players make.
The soori.ng system made about as much
sense to most of the 400 youths as the scor-
ing In a cricket match does to the average
An icrlcan.
Bill Gaskins, the tournament director, saki
he would favor e:?:pcrhnclitir_g'with a sttrl-
plitlect scoring system next year. In addition,
both lie and the players (lid not object to
noise during the snatch.
Both P11101 and Koch stopped play frc-
qucntly yesterday. But Koch noted this was
not because of the noise, but because of thq
nloveilhent behind the court, nicki,thg it diffi-
cult - for the players to follow the flight of
the ball.
As for money, S'illol won about $20,000 last
year. He Is not considered among the world's
25 bast player's, The $1,500 lie pocketed yes-
terday e.as the biggest payday of Iris career.
Koch won 11,000. The ma.teii was the first
loss in Washiilgi.nn by Koch, the winner of
the 1939 Washington Star International.
Jim Osborne and Jim 3foatanus of the
United States defeated Juan Gisbert and
Manuel Oraiitc..s of Spain, -3--G, 6-3, 6-3, for
the doubles title.

ness revealed in the account which I
have just given you of an attempt to en-
gage the interest of inner city youth In
a major sport which should be more and
more accessible to people in our crow did

courts and equipment throughout the
cities of this laird. We can only applaud
the expressed wish of the tournament
planners that out of l;uch. events will one
day cone "the Austin C--iri' of tennis" in
It is seldom that an individual or an in-'
stitutlon is presented the opportunity to
mace a major contribution to an Important
cause. With this thought In lnhhd, I should

Waltar Washington, our distinguished guests
and all of the students attending the
matches, that it is our sincere pleasuro aunt
our privilege to be associated with this event.
We are extremely grateful to Mr. William

portunity Services, and his competent staff,

tolirliamOilt In every respect.
As one who vris born, schooled and has
worked Ill the ''inner city" cltu'ing 1.1is en-
tire lifetime, I can speak from experience
regarding our progress to date and what still
lies ahead ill order to ma1ke Our city into a
model for tike antis nation.
I ant happy to serve as honorary chair-
man of this Inner City Tennis Tournament
that will stmul ate interest In tennis among
inner'-city resiriellts.
We v:elcorae to our city those International
tennis stars-representing seven countries--
who will participate. Their wide-range repre-
sentation and outstanding skills will provide
an arena in which young minds call be chal-
lenged, international goodwill fostered and
tennis promoted.
We are extremely gratified that our Na-
tion's Capital has been solected as the inau-

sult of ens' efforts in this first "Inner-City"
Tennis Tournament, next year we will see
similar programs instituted in other major
metropolitan arc:,s * through the nation.
Proceeds from this tournament will go to
the Washington Interscholastic Tennis As-
sociation to ald our oil-going loner-city ten-
Ills programs.
This tournament is made possible through
the concerted efforts of Buddy Pontiac, Inc.,

'L'his is another fine example of business,

individual citizens working together to better
our conlntttnity.
Mayor WALTER 31 W'SIrINGTON.
One of the mdre gratifying aspects of being
a professional teiluts player is watching,
interested youths developing their athletic
talents Ill pursuit of becoming top-notch
competitols. I art confident that seeing Ioahiy
of the world's top tennis players In action
during this tournament will not only provide
exciting sports entertainment for all but
will inspire many potentailly treat athletes
living he the inner-city to hccorue seriously
interested In the game of tennis as well.
Professional tennis, like football, basket-
ball allot i):leeball, now provides all excellent
living for any underprivileged youth who
works hard and makcs it to the top. But
more than that, the physical demands of
tennis help develop a healthy mind and body
for every boy or girl who plays the gauze.
I and very happy to welcome the lnauy
Washin.;;tou area public school students to
this great new tourneineiit. You will be soe-
ing outstanding champions competing for
tile title and prize :money. I hope to compete
here next year and challenge this year's
winner. All of us, owe a - debt of thanks to
Buddy Pontiac, Inc., for 'their successful
effort to bring big-time tennis to the Wash-
k;Veryone cannot bccouie a chainpiousllip
