Hawkes Has Easy Win

Hawkes (Wellington), won his way into the Auckland tennis championships mens singles final when he quickly disposed of the Auckland lefthander, D. Shaw, in their semi-final yesterday. Hawkes, in sure touch, gave his obviously tired opponent no chance, winning 62, 6-3, 6-0. Shaw, who had a hard four-set match on Thursday against R. Keenan, was slower than usual about the court. Mrs P. Stevens (Northland), the runner-up to Mrs E. Stephan (Auckland) in last year’s women’s singles, had her revepge yesterday eliminating her opponent in a straight-set semi-final, 6-4, 6-3. J. Mitchell (Canterbury) and J. Wakefield (Australia) scored an exciting four-set win over the Aucklanders J. Ferguson and D. Cassidy, to win their way to the men’s doubles semi-finals.
