...visit to the doctor brought a somewhat different diagnosis-Mrs. Fleitz was pregnant. She dropped out of the tournament immediately. With Althea and Beverly gone, Shirley Fry had it all to herself. She disposed of top-seeded Louise Brough, then romped through the final against Britain's Angela Buxton...
...Ever since November she had traipsed across Europe and Asia, swapping shots with some of the best women tennists in the world. Of 16 tournaments she entered, she had reached the finals in all, won the cup and singles titles in thirteen.* When she overpowered Britain's Angela Mortimer (6-0, 12-10) in Paris last week to win her 13th, the French women's singles championship, Althea Gibson, 28, flew over the net like a happy starling.

The family into which he was born was a platoon of all the talents. His kin include Burne-Jones (uncle), the pre-Raphaelite painter, Angela Thirkell (second cousin), the sad librettist of middle-class soap operas, a president of the Royal Academy and a dull cousin named Stan Baldwin who became Prime Minister...
