Ruby Langford Winner
Ladies Tennis Singles

Miss Ruby Langford who holds the
San Diego championship won the
ladies singles Tuesday evening by
defeating Miss May Brickwood in
two closely contested sets.
The actual score was 6-1: 6-2,

of the points were decided only after
the ball had gone back and forth

During the war, Miss Saunders
worked for the government as cable

Carver, the police learned.
Carver said she hired private
detectives to follow him and tried in
