INTER-CLUB TENNIS.

PARNELL MEET UNIVERSITY. j STUDENTS' NAEKOW WIN. ;,;: LOWER CONTESTS. "Another round of inter-club competitions was staged by the Auckland Lawa ■Tennis Association on Saturday afterDinGll. The second A Grade contest of the season, between Parnell and University, was played at Stanley Street, the students ■winning by only two matches. With only a ladies* - and a combined doubles uiiplayccl tho result was still in doubt. Misses Potter and Fitzgerald (Parnell) brat Misses -Robert on and Whitelaw, but dropped one set, leaving University in an unbeatable position. Even if Parnell had won the combined doubles in straight sets, they would have lost the contest by one set. Each of the four men's singles was wqu by tho University players, but the Parnell leading ladies did better, capturing three of the four matches. •■' 'A.. C. Stedman's recent win over Bartleet made him a. formidable opponent, ..awl although ho dropped a set from a 4—l lead, lie was never likely to be ■tyinten by A. S. Lamb. Lamb made a gfr'eat rally in the second set, but could "not keep up the effort. Stedriian played with greater steadiness and it was lamb who made most of the mistakes. t> Careful covering of the court gave A. ]VL • Nicholson a victory over Chalmers. As usual, the University man played a jfailio which was by no means forceful in , appearance but which was really very effective. His shots were delivered with care and'placed with accuracy. vßoardman was not at his beat against Entwhistle, but the University man played with accuracy that would have done credit to any player. Boavdman whs not beaten so easily as the scores ■would suggest, for although he took only two games in the match, each of ilia 14 games -went to deuce. • Both Chisholm and Coates played steadily and accurately, and provided ajv interesting display. 'Coates played a brilliant game in his dOitblcs with Chalmers against Dr. Qhisliolm and Entwistle. He lobbed splendidly, giving Chalmers plenty of opportunities foe finishing shots, and slashed accurately, occasionally varying Jiis-attack with flashing forehand drives. Turner and Hubble played well together to.beat.StaU\v.cn;thy and Williams. Both 'Varsity men were sure at the net, and with accurate placements frequently passed their opponents. ■;gtcdman and Nicholson scored an easy ■vyln over Boardman and Lamb. The Parlie/li pair were- patchy, while the men of tjhe students' team combined well and let very little-past.. •Details" of results are as follows (Parnell vnames first).: — '" ■Mcn'suboublos.—' Stalhvorthy and Williams Ml to Turner and Hubble, &— o! a. |r niul Stevens beat Hardy and Macdoinld G~4, I—c>, G—3; Lamb and Board- •>— e-.Chalmei's and Contes beat Dr. Clnsholm'nnd.Entwistle. 6—l, Roliertsoh-iost to Aldred and J. btedman, Sf:lS.i;itiicrland and Buabill lost to Andrews nna N.
