GEM HOAHING EXPLODES A
FAMOUS SPORT LEGEND
Miss Gem Hoshing, the popular Hongkong-born lawn tennis player will explode a famous legend of sport next Saturday -the legend that Wimbledon's lush green tennis court is played upon only during the two weeks of the Annual Championships.
For year it has been a generally accepted belief that the centre court is closed at the end of Wimbledon for fifty weeks and unused until the defending champion strikes the first ball of the following championships.
Yet on Saturday, "Little Gem" will be slamming a bali about the most famous square of the turf in England — two days before the championships begin.
Miss Hoahing has been invited with three tady friends - Misses
E. Peters, C, Lister and P. Glover to play a match there on behalf of head-groundsman Edwin Fuller.
TO 'BRUISE THE TURF'
The purpose, says Mr Fuller is to "bruise the tar so that it is in perfect condition for play. Four women have been chosen because they are not so heavy-footed as men and their match will end when Mr Fuller considers the turf has had enough. The centre court appears to be in "pink" condition though some of the other courts are infected with the dreaded virus fuserlum which destroys the lush green and leaves bare brown scars, Mr Fuller is confident that the courts will stand up to the matches.
TUNBRIDGE WELLS
Worcester suffer first one-day County Championship
defeat in seven years
London, June 15.
In a fantastic day's cricket at Tunbridge Wells, Kent blasted Worcestershire to the first one- day defeat for seven years in the English County Cricket Championship.
Batting firet on a brown, almost grassless wicket
which gave batsmen little chance, Kent could
muster only 187, Peter Jones getting 73 of them. But then Kent's pace pair Dave Halfyard and Alan Brown stepped in to skittle out Worcestershire for 25 in the first innings and 61 when they followed on.
Springboks score Radford back in and Brown had nine for 24.
