Thanks to all for the additional information on these two gentlemen. We will add a bit more detail to the record when we update.

This picture is beautiful. I am a tennis player and it is refreshing to see how far the sport that I love has come. It reminds me of Wimbledon back in the day.

Ten things you didn't know about Fred Perry Fred Perry, three-time Wimbledon champion in the Thirties, was one of Britain’s greatest sportsmen of the 20th century. His success on the hallowed Wimbledon turf went unmatched by a British man for a remarkable 77 years, ahead of Andy Murray’s triumph in 2013. Perry was the first player to hold all four Grand Slam titles, winning the national championships in Australia, France, and the US, as well as Wimbledon. Historian Kevin Jefferys, the author of a new biography of Perry, reveals ten things you probably didn't know about the tennis legend… 1. He was world champion at table tennis as a teenager 2. He was never a top tennis junior 3. He earned fame but not fortune as the world’s best player 4. He dated Hollywood actresses and was married four times 5. He was tempted by offers to become a film star 6. He lived most of his adult life in the US 7. He owned a celebrity tennis club in Los Angeles, California 8. Despite being three-time Wimbledon champion, he was barred from playing at British clubs 9. The multi-million dollar Fred Perry Sportswear Company was created almost by accident 10. He almost never lived to see the unveiling of the Fred Perry statue at Wimbledon in 1984 Source: www.gq-magazine.co.uk/article/wimbledon-2017-ten-things-y...

Any reason LOC is not using the original caption where accurate? In this case, you are omitting key info.

@artolog: The SABR project focused on naming players and teams, using a stock pattern to devise for titles that replaced the severely abbreviated words scratched on the negatives. The words on the negatives were retained in the notes area. In this case, though, you're right. This negative has a full-blown title that identifies the scene well. We'll exchange the titles and subject notes. -- Helena
