SENIOR COMPETITION UNITED I. BEATEN United 1., the leading team in the Canterbury Lawn Tennis Association's senior inter-club competition, suffered its firs: defeat on Saturday afternoon at the hand:; of United 111., and now it has a lead of only one point from L'nitc-d 111., Cashmere, Canterbury College, and Cathedral. The lastmentioned team has done exceptionally weii i'r.'n reason, and on Saturday gained a surprise victory over Linwood, whose team had suffered more Hitai Cathedral's from holiday depietiins. Ik'i wejslkcr, although warmer th—n .-ome players found comfortable, wa.; wry nearly perfect for tennis, ur.d !he r;rass courts at Wilding Park v.'trt again in excellent order. Angas Beats Rhodes-Williams Interest centred chiefly in the first f-inyies match of the United 1.-United 111. game between C. Angas and T. Ithodes-Williams, and a very good match il proved. There were some <;ne all-court exchanges between the players, but Angas h-.ti a reserve of iiewmy in all departments of the game and took the match alter a closely-contested firs: set. KhodesWilliams showed that he is now regaining form, and that he will be a serious contender for the Canterbury championship. In the second singles the veteran, J. H. W. Sheppard tUnited III.), keeping the rallies going v/c-il and maintaining great accuracy, took the first set from \V. R. Robinton, and although he won few more games that set eventually gave his team the decision. An interesting match in this contest v.*as the meeting of Canterbury's most promising juniors, I. J. Corich and C. F. Penfold. Both played good tennis, but Corich was the more successful in forcing the pace. The juniors also played exceptionally well in the doubles. Duifielil Extends Dymoncl The feature of the match between Cashmere and Canterbury College was the splendid display of'the voung Bmbidextrous player, B. D. Duffield (Canterbury College >, against the highly-ranked Cashmere man, H. Dymond. Duffield hit with great vim ana accuracy on either forehand, took the first set, and led 2-0 in the second before Dymcnd settled down to retrieve the position. N. G. NorbertMudrs (Canterbury College) showed improved form and stronglv challenged D. F. Glanvilie in the second set. The weakened university team, however, could not win a match. Lin wood's first and second men gave their tram a good start against Cathedral, but the emergencies in the team were not equal to the occasion. J. W. Arnold < Cathedral > defended exceedingly well to take a set from A. R. Cant. The only surprbe in the match between Unhed 11. and Addington, played at United, was the defect of L. Armstrong by J. Andrews. United v.on easily. Competition Points Competiii'jii points to date are as fallow---
