• Every year beginning on the sixth Monday before the first Monday of August, the world’s oldest and most prestigious tennis championship is held over 13 days in Wimbledon, a suburb of London. Wimbledon is located seven miles (11.3 km) southwest of central London. In Old English, the community’s name means “Wynnman’s hill.”

• Back in 1868, the private All England Croquet Club was founded off Worple Road in Wimbledon. In 1875, lawn tennis was added to the club and the name was changed to the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet club. Two years later, the lawn tennis championships were held for the first time, with Gentlemen’s Singles as the only event. About 200 spectators attended the tournament, paying one shilling to watch the finals. Spencer Gore defeated 21 other contenders to take the title.

• The first players used heavy snowshoeshaped rackets. The net was 5 feet high (1.5 m) at center.

• The official name of the tournament is “The Championships, Wimbledon.” It is one of the four major Grand Slam tennis tournaments, along with the Australian Open, the French Open, and the U.S. Open. Of the four, Wimbledon remains the only one that is still played on grass, while the other three are played on hard or clay surfaces.

WIMBLEDON (continued):

• Wimbledon’s turf is composed of 100% perennial rye grass, cut to an exact height of 8 millimeters. How a ball bounces depends on the soil, not the grass. The soil must be hard and dry, so the courts are rolled and covered to keep them in top form. The lines are not marked with paint, but rather with a mixture containing titanium dioxide, of which 500 gallons (416 British gallons) are used every year.

• Until 1884, only gentlemen participated in the championships. That year, Ladies’ Singles and Gentlemen’s Doubles were added. Ladies’ Doubles and Mixed Doubles came along in 1913.

At the beginning, only amateurs were allowed to compete, a rule that stood until 1968 when professionals competed alongside amateurs.

• It wasn’t until 1920 that an American won a Wimbledon title, when Bill Tilden won the Men’s Singles. That was also the first year a woman played without wearing a corset!

• In 1922, the tournament moved from its original location on Worple Road to its current Church Road site.

• It was a long dry spell for England in the singles events. In the men’s singles, until 2013, the host country hadn’t had a men’s winner since 1936, with Andy Murray finally breaking the losing streak. British ladies have been waiting since 1977 for another singles winner.

• Czechoslovakia native Martina Navratilova made her debut at Wimbledon in 1973 at age 16.

Not only had she never played on a grass court before, she had never even seen one until the week prior! In 1975, at 18, she sought political asylum in the United States and was stripped of her Czech citizenship. In 1982, she began a six-year reign as champion. Finally in 1988, German Steffi Graf beat Navratilova, and again in 1989. Martina took the title back in 1990.

She holds the record for the most singles wins with nine. She is also the oldest winner, having won the mixed doubles in 2003 when she was nearly 47 years old. Martina is also the recordholder for the most Wimbledon matches played by either male or female, 326 matches.

• The Williams sisters, Venus and Serena, have ten Women’s Singles titles between them, with five apiece. They also have five doubles titles.

A Williams sister won the singles championship in 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2005, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, and 2012.

WIMBLEDON (continued):

• English tennis player Tim Henman has the distinction of being the first person ever to be disqualified from Wimbledon. Henman had a little temper tantrum during one of his matches and smacked a ball away, unfortunately straight into the head of one of the teenaged ball girls, a blow that sent her to the ground. The extremely apologetic Henman later sent flowers to the young lady.

• What do folks take home for souvenirs from the tournament? In 2014, towels were a big item, with 16,000 Men’s Championship towels and 9,000 Women’s Championship towels sold.

Spectators also like the mini-tennis ball key ring, snapping up 11,000 of these souvenirs.

• Last year’s attendance at Wimbledon topped 491,000, while the viewing audience is estimated at close to 380 million. There can be 38,500 spectators on the grounds at any one time, with the maximum capacity of the Centre Court at 15,000. More than 54,000 tennis balls were used during the tournament. In 2014, the Men’s and Ladies’ Singles champions received about $3 million in winnings.

• The longest tennis match ever played took place during the 2010 Wimbledon tournament when John Isner defeated Nicholas Mahut in a match lasting 11 hours and five minutes. It was played over a three-day period.

• Wimbledon is steeped in tradition, including the eating of strawberries and cream by spectators. This past year, 61,730 lbs. (28,000 kg) of berries were consumed along with 7,400 quarts (7,000 liters) of cream during the 13-day period. Tradition also includes a strict dress code for players, which requires they dress “almost entirely in white.” It does not allow off-white or cream, and if a stripe of color is on a shirt or shorts, it can be no wider than one centimeter.

No fluorescent colors are allowed on clothing or headwear, and it is preferred that all shorts and skirts are totally white. The rules even apply to shoes. In 2014, Roger Federer was required to change his shoes because they had bright orange soles. Even the great Navratilova was told that her skirt was against the rules because it had a pale blue stripe. Between 1988 and 1990, tennis great Andre Agassi refused to compete at Wimbledon, protesting the dress code.

1. Who was the first player to hit 100 or more home runs for three different major-league teams?

2. Four different pitchers won at least 20 games in a season for the Los Angeles Dodgers during the 1960s. Name three of them.

5. Who was the first hockey player to be on the cover of Sports Illustrated?

6. In 2014, goalkeeper Faryd Mondragon became the oldest soccer player (43) in World Cup history. For which country did he play?

7. When was the last time before 2015 (Deontay Wilder, WBC title) that an American won a major heavyweight boxing championship? (c) 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.

• There’s even a dress code for spectators at Wimbledon. Don’t try to get into the gate wearing jeans, flip-flops, hoodies, strapless tops, or short skirts!

Although the name of Nils Ivar Bohlin is unfamiliar to most, nearly everyone uses his invention every single day. Take a few minutes to learn about the inventor of the seat belt!

Deborah J. Carpenter

NILS BOHLIN

• At age 19, Nils Bohlin already had a diploma in mechanical engineering from a Swedish university. At 22, he was hired by the aircraft maker, Saab, in their design department.

Focusing on various safety features for airplanes, he received one patent for his invention of the rocket-launched ejection seat for Saab fighter airplanes and another for a “device to protect an occupant against bodily injury during emergency escape from an aircraft.”

• In 1958, at age 38, Bohlin was considered an expert in aeronautical safety engineering. He was recruited by Volvo and joined the company that year. The head of Volvo had lost a relative in a car accident and gave Bohlin the mission of developing an improved seat belt. Safety belts had been an option in some automobiles since the mid-1940s, but were just a strap across the waist that frequently caused serious internal abdominal injuries and head injuries in accidents when the wearer was thrown forward.

• Bohlin set to work designing a device that would restrain the body safely under extreme conditions. In his words, “I realized both the upper and lower body must be held securely in place with one strap across the chest and one across the hips,” along with “an immovable anchorage point for the buckle…” He also knew he wanted it to be put on easily with one hand.

by Samantha Weaver • It was Sigmund Freud, the founder of psychoanalysis, who made the following sage observation: “The first human who hurled an insult instead of a stone was the founder of civilization.”

• Many people make provisions in their wills for their pets; it’s the compassionate thing to do. Singer Dusty Springfield went a bit further than most, though; she specified that her cat was to be fed only imported baby food.

• For a nation based on a foundation of democracy, the U.S. certainly has a lot of states (that were originally colonies, of course) named for British royalty. The state of Virginia, for instance, was named for Queen Elizabeth I, known as the “Virgin Queen”; and Georgia was named in honor of King George II. King Charles II got both North and South Carolina, while the Duke of York and Albany -- later King James II -- was honored when the state of New York was named. Even France got in on the action: When explorer Robert de la Salle claimed a large chunk of territory for France in 1682, he named it Louisiana, after King Louis XIV. • Sissy Spacek was originally considered for the role of Princess Leia in the iconic 1977 film “Star Wars,” but she turned it down, paving the way for Carrie Fisher to play Luke Skywalker’s twin. Interestingly, the year before, Carrie Fisher had been offered the title role in the horror flick “Carrie”; when she declined, Sissy Spacek stepped in.

• If you’re planning a trip to California this summer, you might want to keep in mind that in that state, it’s illegal for a woman to drive while wearing a housecoat. *** Thought for the Day: “Hell is paved with good Samaritans.” -- William M. Holden (c) 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.

• On June 15, 1215, following a revolt by the English nobility, King John puts his royal seal on the Magna Carta, or “Great Charter.”

The document guaranteed that the king would respect feudal rights and privileges, uphold the freedom of the church and maintain the nation’s laws.

• On June 16, 1738, patriot printer, publisher and postmistress, Mary Katharine Goddard, is born. She would later publish the first version of the Declaration of Independence to include all of the Congressional signatures.

The document appeared “printed by Mary Katherine Goddard.”

• On June 18, 1812, the War of 1812 against Great Britain begins. The American war declaration had been called in response to the British economic sanctions against the U.S. and the impressment of American seaman into the British Royal Navy.

• On June 19, 1905, in Pittsburgh, some 450 people attend the opening of the world’s first nickelodeon. The storefront theater boasted 96 seats and charged each patron 5 cents to view a 15-minute motion picture show.

• On June 20, 1975, director Steven Spielberg’s thriller “Jaws” debuts in U.S. theaters. Jaws starred Roy Scheider as police chief Martin Brody and Richard Dreyfuss as a marine biologist. The film’s mechanical shark was named Bruce.

• On June 21, 1982, John W. Hinckley, Jr., who on March 30, 1981, shot President Ronald Reagan outside a Washington, D.C., hotel, is found not guilty of attempted murder by reason of insanity.

• On June 17, 1994, after a dramatic “lowspeed chase” on I-405 witnessed by millions on live television, former football star and actor O.J. Simpson surrenders to Los Angeles police. He was charged in the double-murder of his ex-wife and her friend. (c) 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.

NILS BOHLIN (continued):

• Less than a year after signing on with Volvo, Bohlin had come up with a three-point lap and shoulder seatbelt, introducing the invention to Volvo in 1959. The company added the seatbelt to its cars, with the Amazon and PV544 as the first cars in the world to have safety belts as a standard feature. Volvo graciously made the new design available to other manufacturers for free.

• Bohlin proved the effectiveness of his seat belt in a study of 28,000 accidents in Sweden, showing that “unbelted occupants sustained fatal injuries throughout the whole speed scale, whereas none of the belted occupants was fatally injured at accident speeds below 60 mph.” As a result, by 1968, it was a requirement on all new American vehicles.

• In 1969, Bohlin became the head of Central Research and Development for Volvo. His innovations for the company weren’t finished yet – he went on to invent the Side Impact Protection System for Volvo, receiving a patent for “sidecollision protection in automotive vehicles.”

Bohlin died on the same day he was inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame.

• Bohlin’s three-point seat belt is regarded as one of the eight “most important patents to have benefited humanity from 1885 to 1985.”

The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimates that the belt reduces the risk of death in car accidents by at least 45%, and that about 11,000 lives are saved each year in the U.S. alone. At the time of Bohlin’s death in 2002, Volvo estimated that the seat belt had saved more than one million lives.

1. Who had a hit with “It Hurts To Be in Love”?

2. Name the Bobby Lewis hit that was used in the 1978 “Animal House” soundtrack.

3. What song was released by all of these: Brian Hyland (1962), Gary Lewis and the Playboys (1968) and Bobby Vinton (1972).

4. Which rock group released the “Demons and Wizards” album?

5. Name the song that contains this lyric: “Goodbye, Norma Jean, Though I never knew you at all, You had the grace to hold yourself, While those around you crawled.” (c) 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.

MORE TENNIS GREATS • Billie Jean King competed at Wimbledon for the first time in 1961 at age 17. That year and the next, King and her Ladies’ Doubles partner were the champions. It wasn’t until 1966 that King took the Ladies’ Singles title. She has won a record 20 titles at Wimbledon – six singles, 10 Ladies’ Doubles, and four Mixed Doubles – over the years from 1961 through 1974. She competed there 22 times in 23 years.

• Andre Agassi’s career prize money amounts to more than $31 million. Turning professional at 16, Agassi had endorsement earnings of $25 million a year during the height of his career in the 1990s. This 1992 Men’s Singles winner at Wimbledon is the last American male to win the French Open (1999) and the Australian Open (2003). In his early 20s, Agassi dated singer Barbra Streisand, who was 28 years his senior.

After a two-year-marriage to actress Brooke Shields, Agassi married fellow Wimbledon winner Steffi Graf in 2001.

• German-born Graf accumulated nearly $22 million in prize money over the course of her career. Having played her first professional tournament at age 13, Graf went on to win seven Ladies Singles’ titles at Wimbledon, along with six French Open wins, five U.S. Open titles, and another four singles wins at the Australian Open.

• Roger Federer has captured seven men’s singles titles, in 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2009, and 2012. But he’s not alone with that record. Maryland-born Pete Sampras won seven out of eight years from 1993 through 2000.

Between 1881 and 1889, William Renshaw won the tournament seven times.

movie feels like an assemblage of hacky sci-fi ideas, instead of a bold statement from a singular writer/director. Even those ideas get drowned out in all of the noise.

EDITOR’S NOTE: DVDs reviewed in this column will be available in stores the week of June 15, 2015.

PICKS OF THE WEEK Chappie (R) -- In a grungy vision of the near future, cities deploy experimental drone police.

Unlike Robocop (who is a cyborg, not a robot), these police-droids lack the judgment and feelings of a squishy human brain. That is, until an intrepid young engineer (Dev Patel) finds a way to program true artificial intelligence into one of the metalheads. The breakthrough machine is captured by psycho hooligans (South African rap group Die Antwoord), who teach it to act like a gangster and assist in their crimes.

The big-bad techno-security companies also are after this Johnny Five-O. Neill Blomkamp returns to his home turf of Johannesburg, the backdrop of his breakout hit, “District 9.” Unlike the last time, however, this

chivalry and chastity. Oh, how charming, you may think at this point. However you feel about dating, Clay is a blowhard. He pontificates about lust in the most un-cute, self-righteous Run All Night (R) -- Liam Neeson plays Jimmy way. As you watch, you hope dearly that the Conlon, a former hitman who now only hits romantic lead (Elizabeth Ann Roberts) realizes the sauce. Jimmy’s estranged son, Mike (Joel what’s going on and gets back in her car. FaithKinnaman), witnesses some criminal activity based audiences deserve a little better. and gets a target put on him and his father. Welcome to Me (R) -- When Kristen Wiig Jimmy’s former boss (Ed Harris), the detective stars as an off-kilter lotto winner who buys who used to be on his case (Vincent D’Onofrio) her own Oprah-inspired TV show, you might and an ice-cold killer (Common) all converge on expect a wacky adventure with some grossthe father-son duo as they try to make it through out humor. This is much more serious ... and New York alive. funny, and weird. Wiig plays Alice Klieg, a The Liam Neeson Pain Train has not yet run out woman with borderline personality disorder of track -- he’s still plowing through thugs and -- she has no filter, bizarre habits, dangerous goons with the power of a Charles Bronson- ideas and apparently zero self-awareness, but fueled locomotive. Ed Harris rules the shadows it’s not mental illness played for laughs. When whenever he plays the bad fella. Compared to she wins the lottery, Alice quits her meds, buys other Liam Neeson rampages, this one ranks just a TV show and creates something altogether beneath “Taken.” It certainly packs a punch, but strange and moving. the pacing can dull some of the blows.

• For five consecutive years from 1976 through 1980, Swedish-born Bjorn Borg was the Men’s Singles champion. Borg was the first player to earn more than one million dollars in prize money in a single season. When he retired abruptly at age 26 in 1983, he owned a penthouse in Monte Carlo, a Long Island mansion, and an island off the Swedish coast. Yet in 2006, the tennis great was nearly bankrupt due to poor business ventures. Borg decided to auction off his five Wimbledon trophies and two of his rackets. The trophies were expected to bring between $350,000 and $525,000 and the rackets, about $25,000 each. Borg’s former rival John McEnroe talked Borg out of the decision, but unfortunately, Borg had already handed them over to the auction house and had to buy them back.

• John McEnroe was well known for his outbursts and temper tantrums on the courts, and was even booed by the crowds for his poor behavior. He was fined and suspended for shouting objections at umpires’ calls during his matches, and once slammed his racket into a courtside juice cart after calling the umpire a jerk. Yet this “bad boy” was a #1 player who took the Men’s Singles title in 1981, 1983, and 1984.
