Photograph was edited for publication purposes. Photograph caption dated March 5, 1962 reads "Jon Douglas, left, a top-ranking United States player, talks tennis as a ball seems suspended in midair and no one takes notice of it. From left are Douglas, John Tidball, professional star Pancho Segura and Steve Tidball. The four played an exhibition match as part of dedicatory exercises for the new gymnasium, tennis courts and music building at Van Nuys High School where the Tidball brothers are rated tops in Southern California prep and junior play. Incidentally, Seguara just dropped the ball and photographer caught in on the fly."
