Description	Miss Tomblin in tennis shorts
Details	The Sketch magazine in their 'We Take Our Hat Off To-' weekly page feature Miss G.E. Tomblin, 'for taking the shorts way to further lawn tennis fame.' They continue that, 'considerable interest has been roused by the discussion on the subject of shorts for lawn tennis playing ladies. Miss G. E. Tomblin - in accordance with her promise to do so - wore shorts when playing at Chiswick Hard Courts Lawn Tennis Club tournament at Airedale Avenue. Shorts were still considered rather unseemly for tennis in the 1930s until the wearing of them was pioneered by Alice Marble.
