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.
