MISS HARTIGAN LOSES

TENNIS EVENT AT SYDNEY PERRY SHOWING SUPERB FORM. CRAWFORD NOT IMPRESSIVE. SEMI-FINAL STAGES REACHED. By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright Rec. 11.25 p.m. Sydney, Nov. 29. A feature of to-day’s play in the New South Wales tennis championships, which were continued in hot weather to-day, was the elimination of the Australian women’s singles champion, Miss Hartigan, at the hands of the tall Queenslander, Mrs. Westmacott. The Crawford-Hopman singles match was a poor one and was unimpressive. Perry was in superb form. His strokes were so well concealed that they frequently left Quist standing when he tried to advance to the net. Perry, on the other hand, was never out of position. Results were:— Men’s Singles.
