YESTERDAY’S RESULTS

Dominion Special Service. Palmerston North, Jan. 23. Tennis of a high standard"was produced at the continuation of the Manawatu Lawn Tennis Association’s tournament to-day, but though good progress was made and play commenced at the scheduled hour in the morning,, finality was not reached in all events. Those not completed wlill be finished on Saturday next. While yesterday’s rain did not hold up play this morning the courts were slippery and slow, and it was not until midday that there were sufficiently dried to provide a good playing surface. The best match of the day wag the men's doubles final, in which Brown and Hankin defeated , Boddy and McDonald. The winners had ’ a commanding lead in the first set, but a series of errors and good overhead work by Boddy resulted in the losers taking the set 10—8. After a keen struggle Brown and Hahkin varied their play, judiciously interspersing high lobs with good length drives, McDonald and Boddy relying mainly on their smashing and volleying to win their points.
