KING WAS ARDENT SPORTS FAN, PLAYER Tin- Brit
ish sports world lost a keen fan and participant in the death
of King George VI, who counted a variety of sports among
the chief interests in his life. Racing was an absorbing pas
time for the late King. He was a competent golfer a> well as
playing a mean game of cricket in his youth. Tcnni>, how
ever, was the game at which he shone. Although right-handed
in golf he was a southpaw on the courts. In 1923 he played
in the men’s doubles at the Wimbledon championships with
his long-time friend, Sir Louis Greig, as partner. Then Duke
of A ork, the King is shown in J 933, exhibiting fine form in
a Wimbledon match. -- Central Press Canadian
