...Lacroix, France's Christian Boussus, Martin Legeay and John Lesueur. Other popular foreigners who may never again be seen on U.S. courts are Australia's Jack Bromwich and Adrian Quist (suffering from jungle diseases that may finish their big-time tennis careers), Poland's Ja-Ja Jedrzejowska (unreported since the Nazi invasion of Poland) and Germany's Baron Gottfried von Cramm, whose capture in Tunisia was reported, then denied...

No. 1 Alice Marble, after drubbing Poland's Ja-Ja Jedrzejowska and Denmark's Hilda Krahwinkel Sperling, defeated England's Kay Stammers, 6-2, 6-0, with the most brilliant tennis of the whole tournament.

Miss Lizana had beaten Miss Jedrzejowska twice before this season in Europe, but Miss Lizana prefers ice cream and candy to meat. Consequently it came as a surprise to most spectators when she proceeded to give the sinewy Pole a third trouncing by pounding her slow backhand, catching her flat-footed with deft drop-shots, 6-4, 6-2.
