TENNIS GRADINGS

Hawke’s Bay Championships End WILSON AGAIN No. 1 The tennis seasun in the province has now definitely closed, and the championship ladders of the Hawke’s Bay Lawn Tennis Association have been finalised after many changes during the past season. The leaders in both sections have held their position securely, but apart from that the season lias seen ladder positions change regularly. Many changes in position have had to be ignored because the winner of the ladder match has failed to give the results of the game within the specified time of seven days after the playing of the game. Players should realise that changes on the ladder cannot be made upon rumour, and that the association must have definite news of any victories, if the winners are to be credited with the promotions they have earned. Ladder positions at the end of the 1935-36 season, in men’s and women’s sections, are as follow:— AIEN. 1. N. li. C. Wilson (Hastings). 2. H. Elliott (Hastings). 3. F. Forbes (Hawke’s Bay). x 4. Al.
