THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF SPORT

NOTES FROM ALL OVER

In or out of season, citizens of the world of sport like to relax. Here, displaying a variety of expressions for a variety of reasons in a variety of places from Mexico to Michigan, is a light-hearted cross-section of them

PRO TENNIS HITS THE CANVAS

Tony Trabert made his professional debut last week in New York against Pancho Gonzales as Jack Kramer's troupe started on a six-continent tour

TRABERT SERVES TO GONZALES IN THE OPENING SET OF MADISON SQUARE GARDEN MATCH WHICH WAS PLAYED ON PROMOTER KRAMER'S PORTABLE COURT. CANVAS COURT IS HELD TAUT BY 20 PIECES OF BLOCK AND TACKLE

Rushing net, Trabert sets to return ball with the backhand volley that Kramer calls the finest he has ever seen. Tony won the first two sets but cooled off and lost match 3-2.

Hard-hitting Gonzales (left) serves while Trabert tensely rises on balls of his feet. Pancho (above) strains futilely for passing shot by Tony. (For more on the match see page 43.)

THE RETURN OF LUIS MIGUEL

Spain's brilliant matador Luis Miguel Dominguín, in retirement for three years, triumphantly returned to the bull ring as he was awarded four ears and a tail before an ecstatic crowd in Maracay, Venezuela

Leaning forward on the tips off his toes, Dominguín gets ready to plant the first pair off banderillas between the shoulders of the hard-charging bull

Calling to the bull, Dominguín begins a perilous pass called the gaonera

After killing the bull, he strides around the ring in response to wild ovation of the crowd
