ROMANCE OF FORTUNE'S DEMPSTER

WHEEL AT WIMBLEDON

"Wonderful Tales" Of Fifty

Years Of Homeric Combat

BY F. R. BURROW

(Referee of the Championships 1919-1936)

Although the Championships Tournament at Wimbledon is probably the most serious of all tournaments, romance does find its way in. Romance, that is, of the nature of thrill and excite- ment over some hectic encounter remembered long after Wim- bledon is over, not that “romance" of the dictionaries, defined as "a fictitious narrative in prose or verse which passes beyond the Hmits of real Hie," but rather the secondary meaning of the word" "any wonderful tale."

LENGLEN AND VINES "Now for some of these "gudden” stars. The two who leap to mind at once are Mile. Lengica in 1919, and Ellsworth Vines in 1932. With the exception of Gerald Patterson in 1919 and W. T. Tiden in the following year. I think the first two were the first since the dim ages of the 'Seventies to win a championship at the first time o asking. They were, also, more "starry"! Mlle. Lenglen, indeed, was one of the first magnitude, for she never knew defeat at Wimble don until her retirement in 1926, and subsequent joining of the pro- fessional ranks robbed the game of a woman player whose equal has never been seen before or since. She never knew, deteat; but in her very first match for the champion- ship it was only the outside rim of her racket that saved her from it, when, with the holder, Mrs. Lam- bert Chambers, at match-point, the French girl leapt into the air for a lob that was sailing over her hend, and just touched the ball sufciently to knock it back over the net.
