LAWN TENNIS

INTER-CLUB MATCHES ANOTHER INDECISIVE ROUND For the third time this' season rain caused the adjournment of inter-club lawn tennis on Saturday before a decision had been reached in the matches, and this will further complicate the Canterriimn,,SVa^ n . Tenriis Association's already ~™,~ 1-. task of completing the various ton petit ions. It is probable that the senior matches begun on Saturdav will be continued during the week, but the lower grade games, which consist of IB rubbers compared with the six in the senior grade, may have to be abandoned.
