MAUREEN CONNOLLY GIVES UP TENNIS
“INTEREST IN GAME STILL KEEN ” (N.Z. Press Association—Copyright) SAN DIEGO (California). June 9 Maureen Connolly, the world's leading woman tennis player for several years, said today that she is renouncing tennis for ever except as a pastime.
Miss Connolly, aged 20. is to be married on Saturday to Mr Norman Brinker, aged 24, a member of the United States equestrian team at the last Olympic Games. “I will be just too busy for tennis,” she said. But her interest in the game is still keen, she said today, and she and her husband will go to Wimbledon this month.
Miss Connolly will report on the tournament as women’s sports editor of the “San Diego Union” and for a London newspaper.
