VETERANS' TOURNEY

PLAY AT STANLEY STREET FORMER CHAMPIONS COMPETE Considerable enthusiasm and a pleasing standard of play were features of the veterans' handicap doubles tournament which was staged by the Auckland Lawn Tennis Association at the Stanley Street courts yesterday. For the first time the two-life system, usually only applied to bowls, was tried out and, although it provided a number of additional games which wero much enjoyed by the players, the competition wns rather drawn out and it was found impossible to complete the tournament. Auckland champions of earlier days who competed were A. S. C. Brown, C. F. Quinnell, T. E. Hickson and E. W. Griffiths. The competition will be concluded at Stanley Street to-morrow, in between the exhibition matches by the Australian player. A. K. Quist. Results are as follows: PLAYERS WITH TWO LIVES First Round.—T.
