Who Won

P:The U.S. Davis Cup tennis team, the interzone final, over Italy, 5-0; at Sydney, Australia. Player-Captain Vic Seixas, far off form, took five sets to beat Italy's Fausto Gardini. Tony Trabert, on leave from the Navy and playing his first competitive match in five months, won both his singles matches with impressive ease. Trabert also teamed with Seixas--the first time the two had played together--to win the clinching doubles match.

P:Archie Moore, long the "uncrowned king" of the light-heavyweights, the light-heavyweight title from Joey Maxim; in St. Louis. Next on the 36-year-old champion's agenda: a return match with Maxim and a return tour of Argentina,*where he was a popular favorite two years ago.

-Moore dedicated his victory to Argentine President Juan Peron, who promptly cabled "cordial felicitations" and a "warm and affectionate embrace."
