CHAMPIONSHIP TENNIS.
PERRY AND HUGHES BEATEN. SYDNEY, Nov. 30. Surprises continue in the New South Wales tennis championships, to-day’s being the defeat of Perry and Hughes in the doubles. The courts were slow after overnight rain, and a blustery wind made conditions difficult. Detailed results are as follow: Men’s doubles. —Semi-finals : Crawford and McGrath beat Kirby and Quist, 6—3, 10—12, 6—4, 6—4; Hopman and Maier beat Perry and Hughes, 6 —B, 3 —6, 10 —8, 6 —3, 6—-4. Women’s doubles Semi-finals: Misses Dearman and Lyle beat Misses Hartigan and Bickerton, 6—4, 6 —9; Miss Round and Mrs. Hopman beat Mrs Westmacott and . Mrs Moleswortli, 6 —4, 6—l. Mixed doubles. —Semi-finals : Perry and Miss Round beat Kirby and Miss Lyle, 6—4, 6 —4; Hopman and Mrs Hopman beat Menzel and Miss Bickerton, 6—4, 6 —4. Perry and Hughes, after winning the first and second sets, led 5 —3 and 30 —0 in the third set. Perry was footfaulted in this game. His play appeared to suffer until the end of the set, which Hopman and Maier won after a grand fight. The Englishmen’s volleying in the fourth set was ineffective,' so they resorted to tossing, but Hopman’s and Ma'ier’s volleying and smashing were irresistible.
