...spectators sprinkling the Forest Hills grandstands (capacity: 13,500) on opening day last week expected that much excitement. Now that Jake Kramer had turned pro, nobody could cook up much enthusiasm for the U.S. singles team: 27-year-old Ted Schroeder, who helped take the cup in 1946 and 1947 but lost five of his six tournaments this year, and 32-year-old Frank Parker, whose mechanical, unemotional game after 15 years in top competition is about as exciting to watch as a meat grinder. The only new face would be Quist's singles teammate, Billy Sidwell...
...finals of the National Doubles, at Longwood Cricket Club in Massachusetts, Billy Talbert admitted: "Gardnar Mulloy and I want that Davis Cup doubles job the worst way." Talbert and Mulloy decided that the best way to get it was to beat their Davis Cup teammates, Frank Parker and Ted Schroeder, in the Longwood finals.

Philadelphia's fast, rangy, young (24) Victor Seixas (rhymes with gracious), a University of North Carolina senior with a cannonball service and a neat drop shot, upset top-seeded Schroeder in the quarterfinals, 2-6, 6-4, 8-6, 6-4, before losing in the semifinals. It was the second tournament defeat in a row for Schroeder, who just wasn't in shape...
Born. To Frederick R. ("Ted") Schroeder Jr., 26, high-strung onetime U.S. tennis singles champ (1942), whose record-breaking 71-game match against Australia's Dinny Pails clinched the Davis Cup for the U.S. last year, and Anne de Windt Schroeder, 24: their second child, second son; in Glendale, Calif. Name: Richard Frederick. Weight...
