Triple Winner
Triple Winner.
Although Miss F. Smythe played some good shots in the final of the Women's Singles, she found that only "real" winners could get her points against Miss D. Croxton. who was too steady and played too many winning forehand drives to give her opponent much chance. She also proved the deciding factor in the Women's Doubles which she won with P. Ralph from M. Fletcher and K. Pears. 21/14, 21/18. The other three in this match were about even. Miss Croxton dominating the game with effective killing of soft returns.
In the Combined Doubles, Croxton and Miss Croxton beat Braithwaite and Miss K. Pears, 21/5, 21/16. Braithwaite played well, especially in the second game, and proved himself to be about the best doubles player in the championships. It is to him, too, that most credit is due for the successful conduct of the various events.
