TENNIS

DOMINION TOURNEY »T TWO TITLE-HOLDERS GO DOWN. HEAT AFFECTS MANY PLAYERS. Christchurch, December 27. Intense heat again prevailed for the second day of the New Zealand lawn tennis championships at Wilding Park and several players suffered more or less severely from the effects. The holders of two championship titles were defeated during the day, much to the surprise of all tennis enthusiasts, and a third also came unpleasantly close to defeat. Miss Dulcie Nicholls, present New Zealand women’s champion, was defeated, 6—3, 7—5, in the second round by another Wellington player, Mrs N. Thomson. Miss Nicholls felt the heat very much, and left the court to rest when leading 5—2 in the second set. After resuming she did not win another game. The second surprise was the defeat of Misses Wake and Andrew, present women's doubles champions, by Misses Gould and MacDonald, also of Canterbury, in the third round. Miss Wake, like Miss Nicholls, was overcome by the heat, and played listlessly. A. Angus, resent men’s champion, received a suarp shock in the third round of the singles, when H. Dymond, of Canterbury, carried him to live sets after winning the second and third sets. Biit for a change of tactics in the fourth set by slowing down the pace and upsetting Dymond’s driving. Angas would possibly have lost the match. He will have to show better form on Monday to retain the title.

The quarter finalists in the men’s singles are Barnett versus Hayr, Wilson versus Johns, Angas versus Len France, Stedman versus Patterson. It looks as if Wilson may fight out the final against Angas. In the ladies’ singles the quarter finalists are: Mrs Melody versus Mrs Adams. Mrs Dykes Versus Miss Ramsay, Mrs Thomson versus Miss Myers and Miss Marjorie McFarlane versus Miss Wake. Prediction of the ultimate winner here is hazardous, but Mrs Dykes seems to be getting near her championship form of three years ago. In the men’s doubles, Wilson and Stedman have advanced to the semifinal, and will probably meet the France brothers. In the bottom half of this event Angas and Seav and Wallace and Lampe look likely semifinalists, and the contests promise to be exceptionally keen. The semi-finalists in the ladies’ doubles are Mrs Melody and Miss Myers versus Misses Gould and MacDonald, Mrs Adams and Miss Nicholls versus the Misses Macfarlane. Results: — MEN’S SINGLES.
