PNw I " IN THE WORLI A Uniquely Difficul Over in London they were quot in}? Aithea Gibson at 2 to win at Wimbledon this week. It seems hard to believe, even after her stunning record this past winter and spring on the international tcnni^ circuit: 16 victories in 18 I tournaments, 11 straight, includ? in}? decisive deteats oi the world's two top-ranked women players, ' T.oniso Brough?and?Shirley?Fry, j But win or lose, "there is no ques- ] tion about A1 tinea's bein}? the most ^'.Interesting player at Wimbledon ' " this year, because she has traveled a uniquely difficult road. Few people know how ^really dillicult a road it was. jAJthea GibIk soil is not a }?irl who confides t_cisily. Her crises over the years ' lrn'" been many, and they have ,,]y been crises of self-eon.fi??f?c"'(l?nrn, As recently as last summer, j f1"1 crumple, .'he would have bat?Jted any thought of being the-fav-1 ivri* > rif WimMtwIon riwht .itF 'til.. I court. Last summer, in fact, thea was ready to quit tennis for good. * , "During the Eastern grass court tournhment," says her old friend and teacher Sarah Palfrey Danzig, "1 sat with her under the trees at the South Orange Lawn... Tennis . Cluh as she drank a chocolate milk, ami we had a serious discussion. She explained that she was already in her late 'JO's and her future to consider. She didn't i think she had many more years of | tennis ahead, and felt, she would he planning now . for a secure , mean; of livelihood. "Ear dive years she. hadn't lived up to expectations, or improved the way people thought she could. She n;ui twice oeen ranaeu among me first 10 women players of t h e Country but never near the top. She felt she was at the crossroads'".'! S.ii i'il 1 ;,hr mntinuy her, tennis ui turn to something else?" That question has been on Althea t!9hsdn's mind through alj the years. ranL.small wonder. For if, ever anyone started at the bottom j atul with the score at O-40, it was i this lanky, dark, courageous girl f fro'it -Harlem, who carried, along j wt^h her own ambitons, the burden ' of ne race upon her shoulders. She didn't even want to play j ?-lit ? d-enuia, r'eally..She was a _hasket--j ball, fan, and good at the game.] But her natural aptitude for ten nis was such that she practically had to play. And once she . started, it was soon clear that she W''. would have to gt> beyond the res-1 . trictive limits of the Negra American Tennis Association and hurst into ;he big time. I How that was accomplished is a story that has never before been told in full detail. ? The color line was alreadyybroakii'g down in tennis by .11150,. but - its abolitTbn never could become of!':, irtl until a Negro played in the top tennis- event of the year--the National grass court champion-1 ships -ut Forest Hills, Dr. Reginald Weir, si veteran player, had a! ? j ready horn accepted into the Xa-1 tional Indoor Championships. A1-1 then had reaehed this stage,- too,, playing her first indoor champ-! ionship iii the winter of lttyO, when i she lost to Xancy Chaffee in thei finals. It was during the indoor Xa-' tionals that negotiations began be-, ' 'tween representatives of the A-j merk-an Tennis Association (Dr. Sylvester I?. Smith; Bertram I..!' Baker, executive secretary of the! 2 ATA; and Arthur E. Francis, a-. sistant executive? secretary ) and representatives of' the USLTA (DR. Ellsworth Davenport and Al- ! ?r~,?tick Man Jr.. the chairman uf fliu j tournament committee). Xegotia- j tions were conducted so quietlythat neither press nor public learn, ed*h! tout them until mid-summer, When the news-.that-A-raEmlirr of. the Negro race would compete in the Nationals for the first time mane neadlines around uie world. "We wanted to bs sure that we - could offer a player who would be wrorthy of competing in the TT&ttohchampionships," said the ATA's Mr. Francis, in recalling those negotiations. "We preferred to wait |? ^Sr year or two- mora, if -we had ta^ ..t before asking for an entry to be | sent to a Negro player." "THEY DEFEND ON US" ' i fU i., 1 ** "Even today, we will not recom- . . mejid anyone for the Nationals ; who has not qualified r.s a good \ V enough player. The USLTA does 1 not know the quality of oup play- t fej* They depend on us. We ap- ( predate that faith, and are1 -very ' ?w4?eUve. And since Althea's lone4_ _-l3Lappeat*nce in 1950 we have de- ( v. . vdoped so many good Negro play- \ ers that five men and three wo- / ) OF SPORTS It Road to Fame inert were in the 1956 Nationals. We expect even more to play at Forest Hills this year." Top members of the USLTA were interested from the way be pnninjr of negotiations. When it j liud beeir decided that Althea Gibson should play the role of Jackie Kohirison in the tennis WOl'M, Ulg ! USLTA was the one to surest which lesser tuuummcnts the Xeirro player should attempt to enter. ' Dr. Davenport and Mr. {Man1 both stressed the point that sooner or later'it .would be done," said Mr. Francis. "But they said it was no easy matter, since a majority if the national tournament committee would have to eive their ap- | provai. They-tsaid we should realize that since theirs is a national j body there would be opposition that there war. no law w hich hnr?J red a N'eprro player, and they pro- ! mised tliey would do till in thei r T poWet to holp tis achieve her en-1 ?rv.!t ' ' ' 1 . At" the second niectimr several 1 weeks later, the USI.TA otlieials j indicated that they had discussed I the plan with other otlieials but j that they still could nut commit j themselves. Only the full commitee could make the decision. "They suffffested then that we i try. to enter Miss (Tibs'on in ~ other ] eastern tournaments," said Mr. j Francis. f'That would permit her to show what she could do against TTrst-class players as well as build ' up her reputation. That was the lime mey wave us tne proposed' list of tournaments and the people to approach." Early that seasn, Charles Hare, former I^ritiah ttennis staf who now was a member of the Wilson Sporting- (foods Company's tennis department, wrote froth Chicago to suggest that an j.'tl'i.irt himade to enter Althea in the Na'ional eia.v court" championships at Chicago's River Forest fltih. He wrote that he had .already spoken to several officials and that they were favorably clisptised to the idea. That was the first successful step, and it came easily. Althea received an entry, played; and reached the -quartet*' finals, i n The next Fig step was to enter hei- in the Eastern grass court championships at Orange, N*. J.; possibly the second tournament to the Nationals in importance. _ Roi'ur accepted into the Eastern grass court championships was such a happy event for Xojrro tennis followers that Francis wrote to James F>. Dickey, first vice-pi wsjalent of the Eastern Fawn Tennis Association, to ex pres V-thr* appreciation of hrrmt-lf" and t.ke people of his race. "Iii those days of racial and rev lijrions restrictions," wrote Francis, "it is very difficult to get people to think in terms of fairness, p . nuicii more to act fairly; and your outstanding contribution of justice and faitneks, your unafraid declaration that merit he recognized as one of- the important qualifications for tin opportunity to play in your tournatment, inspires us with the belief in the .doctrine of '.he fatherhood of CJod and the brotherhood of man. "Believe me when I say the mem hers of my racial group, and of all groups, who believe in fair play, will be everlastingly grateful to! you and your colleagues who thought as yon did ami who by their j actions have attested to the fact j that tennis is a game for ladies i and gentlemen, ami of ladies and , gentlemen." : ??I All that spring, while negotia-J tions to get her hoio the Natidnrrls | were underway, Althea practiced' with Sarah Palfrey Cooke?now ticc on grass. He didn't hesitate a I moment. He said, 'Of coui se, " brine: her along.-We'd be happy to have her.' . two days later ATtrtea and f, carrying our bags and rackets, took the subway from Lexington Avenue and 5.'lrd Street and arrived at Forrest Hills in 20 minutes. On that hot July afternoon we practiced for almost two hours, and Althea had hci first taste of playing on a real 'lawn' tennis ctmrt. Actually her style of tennis was ideally stilted- t-> grass. With a big serve, good volley and smash, her unsten'lv L'lounil strokes were not -in _ vulnerable .as on clay. Her natural timing and big, catlike strides were . . C t f ? . userui lor i no raster pace ot a grass" court. Being tall; she did have trouble bending down foi the low bounces. But it was an impressive workout."
