NEW SOUTH WALES TITLES QUIST BEATS CRAWFORD SYDNEY, November 15. (Received Nov. 15, at 11.30 p.m.) A high, gusty wind made play very difficult in the New South Wales lawn tennis championships. The results included the following:— MEN'S SINGLES. Semi-finals. Quist defeated Crawford 4—6, 6—4, 6—4, 11—9. Hopman defeated Tonkin 4—6, 6—4, 6—4, 10—8. WOMEN'S SINGLES. Semi-finals.

MEN'S DOUBLES. Semi-finals. Crawford and M'Grath defeated Ferguson and Chrystal 6—3, B—6, 9—7. Quist and Thompson defeated Hopman and Kay 11—9, 7—5, 7—5. Miss Nicholls started well against Miss Hartigan, the Australasian champion, and led 3—l before Miss Hartigan got her famous forehand working smoothly. Miss Hartigan won five 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 returns. Miss Nicholls was not playing confidently enough to test Miss Hartigan's backhand. The Australian's forehand drives repeatedly found the sidelines, with Miss Nicholls out of position. , ~ Donohoe developed bad cramp in the Mixed Doubles and forfeited the match. Quist proved steadier than Crawford in the Singles Championship. Quist took the net and forced Crawford into errors.
