LONDON, Sept. 18, Nancy Dickin, winner, of the junior lawn tennis championship at Wimbledon, displayed remarkable courage. She won the singles, doubles and mixed doubles, though all the time she was heavily bandaged. A week ago she tore a muscle of her back, which displayed the vertebrae and necessitated a plaster of pans support. The accident was similar to that which incapacitated Mrs Moody in America and Miss Betty Nuthall in 1926. Miss Nuthall is the only other girl to win three championships in one year.
