In between, she so completely dominated the court that Mrs. Cawley, champion here in 1971, could gamer only 21 points, one of them on Mrs. King's lone double fault. That single game Mrs. King granted equaled the set modern roco' d of over Doris Hart Shirley by Fry in 1951.

The announcer doesnt do a good job as the house man and hes out of work, so they are very, very careful to keep everyone on the home club happy.
