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,

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

mean; of livelihood.
"Ear dive years she. hadn't lived
up to expectations, or improved the
way people thought she could. She

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."
