N.S.W. Championships QUIST DEFEATS CRAWFORD SYDNEY, Nov. 15. A high, gusty wind made play very difficult in the New South Wales tennis championships. Results included the following: Men’s singles.—Semi-finals: A. K. Quist defeated J. H. Crawford 4—6, 6 —4, 6—4. 11—9; Harry Hopman deleated Tonkin 4 —6, 6 —4, 6—4, 10—8. Women's singles.—Semi-finals: Joan Hartigan defeated Dulcie Nicholls (N.Z.) 6 —3, 6—3; Miss Coyne defeated Mrs Hopman 4—6, 6 —4, 6—4Men's doubles.—Semi-finals; Crawford and McGrath defeated Ferguson and Chrystal 6—3, B—6, 9—7 ; Quist and Thopmson defeated Hopman and Kay 11—9, 7 —5, 7 —5. Miss Nicholls started well against Miss Hartigan, the Australian champion, and led 3—l before Miss Hartigan got her famous forehand working smoothly. Miss Hartigan won live games in a row to win the set. Miss Nicholls was unable to gauge the pace of the Australian’s shots in the second set, outing her returns. Miss Nicholls was not playing confidently enough to test Miss Hnrtigan’s backband. The Australian’s forehand drives repeatedly found the sidelines with Miss Nicholls out of position. Adrian Quist proved steadier than Jack Crawford in the singles championship. Quist took the net and forced Crawford into errors.
