Criticisms, for the most part, as Mrs. Little first played tennis I gather from Fred Corcoran, are with her three elder brothers that the committee failed to name with no thought of becoming any more than an ordinary player until the age of 18 when she play- ed in her first tournament. This occurred in North Wales in 1326 and her performance attracted the attention of the local press. Encouraged, she entered and won the Worcestershire Junior Cham- pionships the following week. The next year she played in London for the first time and surprised everyone by nearly beating Belly Nuthall who,
