McNehl Biggest Disappointment Don McNeill, the defending champion, who has two legs on the Clifford S. Trotter challenge Bowl, has been the biggest disappointment of the championship.

Battered from pillar to post before he set foot on the Seminole Club sod last Monday in previous tourneys, McNeill received a real scare the following day when Joey Fishbach, the former St. John's University netman, pushed him to the very limit before losing in three sets. The tow-headed Oklahoma City habitant "must" be at his best today if he expects to advance towards the final. He faced Ladis-lav Hecht, No. 6, the former Czech Davis Cup player, in one of the two rounds of eight matches scheduled for play.

Hecht is hot and has been turning In consistently brilliant tennis. Teddy Schroeder, No. 4, the guy whose game hits up and down, clashed with Ted Olewine, No. 8. Frankie Parker, No.

Jessurun tackles South Brooklyn's Jerry Fiorello in the featured ten-round bout. Triere'll be two sixes and three fours supporting the feature. In the sixes, Danny London, neighborhood favorite, who started a comeback two weeks ago with a k. o.

Stanley Berl of Maspeth and Warren Peterson of Jamaica will go to it in a four-round grudge battle on tomorrow night's Long Beach Stadium card.

Berl and Peterson recently had words in the gymnasium and both jumped at the opportunity of being able to settle the argument in the ring. Curley Nichols and Aaron Seltzer are scheduled for the top-eight. Four eight-round bouts make up the weekly Dexter Park show for Monday night. Ernest Robinson, Jamaica, swings with Babe Synott, Fall River; Larry Anzalone, East New York, dances with Pete Mus-canera, Williamsburg; Carmela Fenoy, Spain, faces Oliver White, Brownsville.

One of the prize winners at the original meeting of 1939, Levin, a graduate of the central High School and the University of Pennsylvania, has not been In the limelight of late.

Married earlier this year, he decided upon the short resort for a vacation from his law work when Tournament Director Wayne telephoned him an invitation to be one of 10 to compete this Summer. It was not so much that the victor did not have a really fine background in Pennsylvania and intercity chess, but the fact that he had Chess Problem No. 1,969 By V.

That his was a most popular victory was evidenced by the resounding applause which greeted the presentation of the first prize and the Press Union Newspapers Trophy by Mayor Harry S.

Hodson, head of the local committee of the Ventnor City Chess Club. Levin's wife and mother were both present, and their faces glowed with pleasure as they, in common with the crowd that filled the Solarium on the Municipal Pier, shared in the triumph his skill had earned for him. The runner-up, who performed a stunt somewhat on the lines of the heroic, was Fred Reinfeld of the Marshall Chess Club, the only one to escape defeat in nine rounds. Of the three Brooklyn players, Albert S. Pinkus, champion of the Manhattan Chess Club, did not quite come up to expectation after winning three straight at the start.

Nevertheless successes in the last two rounds enabled him to tie Anthony E. Santasiere for third and fourth prizes. Sidney Bernstein figured In a triple tie with Weaver W. Adams of Boston and Ariel Mengarinl of Washington. J.

P. Donovan, however, after rating fourth among 12 last year, did not fare at all well this time, when he had to be content with 10th place.

The Bay Parkways, who have won 14 out of 21 home games this season and who last night trounced the Bushwicks, 93, at Dexter Park, will play hosts to the Cedarhurst Club, M. B. A. pacesetters, in a twin bill at Erasmus Field Sunday. The Cedarhurst Club appeared at Erasmus Field in the Parkways' opening game of the season and dropped a 53 decision to Harry Hesse's lads.

Hesse, however, is confident that his lads will hand the league leaders another setback. Reasons for this confidence are the recent victories the Parkways scored over the Brooklyn Royal Giants and House of David. Wally Holborow and Abe Spiro will divide the pitching duty against Cedarhurst. Holborow last night held the Bushwicks to four hits and has won nine of his last 10 games for a season's record of '10 and 3. Splro has been going well of late after getting off to a hard-luck start.

The Cedarhurst Club boasts a particularly strong infield with Mele at first base; Charley Sheerin, formerly of the Bushwicks, at second; Delesandro at short and Schoppmeyer at third.

Barrow assured him he couldn't take any reservations now and anyhow, it's a long way to the end of the pennant races. Well, you cant blame the guy at that, especially after what the Yanks did to the Indians yesterday. They moved into Cleveland leading by four games, a clean sweep for the Indians would put them right back in the fight for the lead.
