er was someone's flight of fancy.
Miss Marble, as may be recalled,
made her debut as a night club solo-
ist last winter, and, after the cur-
rent tennis season is over, she will
go to Hollywood to make a motion
picture—provided the entrepreneur
with whom she has signed is able
to place her to advantage.
The first woman to hold three
Wimbledon and three American
titles at one and the same time,
designer of sports clothes, sing-
er, potential actress, Miss Mar-
ble's versatility is not confined
to these things. She could, if
she had not—to her expressed
regret—got beyond such things,
play softball baseball with facil-
ity equal to that of most men.
Also proficient in basketball as
a member of the Polytechnie
high, San Francisco, team, she
was likewise a track athlete of
no small ability, And, before
that, sandlot football with her
brothers and other boys claimed
her enthusiasm. As a six-year-
old she started playing hard
ball baseball with a younger
brother, Harry (Tim) Marble,
who later joined the Pacifie
Coast League Missions team as
shortstop.
