...Wimbleton finals in 1905, 1906, 1907. put out Miss Marion Williams of California, 6-1, 6-4. Miss Joan Fry, 19-year old Wimbleton (England) finalist, was no small fry for Miss Mary K.

Andover failed to prove very powerful and merely succeeded in snatching fourth place, thus landing St. George's at the bottom of the ladder...
