Probably the most sensational
player of the tournament was
eleven year old Ronnie Holcomb.
Ronnie lives directly behind the
S. W. P. S. court and has been
on the court since he has been
“knee high to n grasshopper.” An-
other important factor in the good
piny of Holcomb can be attributed
to the keen interest his parents

Den Quicksilver, a brown-skin-

of Ihe finest strokes yet seen by
any of the players in lho tour-
