Sport: Jim Crow Tennis
(2 of 2)
Facing one another in the final last week, Newcomer McDaniel and Oldtimer Weir, matching aggressive play with brilliant tactics, kept the partisan crowd of 1,500 in seesawing shrieks of delight and dismay before young McDaniel won the match and title, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4. Besieged by dusky damsels, Champion McDaniel was swept off the court, signed his autograph until his hand was numb. They all thought he was good enough to represent the U. S. on the Davis Cup team.
† Only Negro ever known to have competed at Wimbledon is Briton B. M. Clark, member of a Jamaica, B. W. I. tennis club.
