NORTH ISLAND TENNIS

DICKIE BROTHERS’ SUCCESS. STURT AND LAMPE BEATEN. By Telegraph—Press Association. Wanganui, Last Night. Fine weather favoured the. North Island tennis championships, which were continued at Wanganui to-day, and excellent tennis was closely followed by a large crowd. I The most notable defeat of the day was the elimination of N. G. Sturt and M. L. Lampe in the men’s doubles by the youthful Waverley pair E. and A. Dickie. The boys played well together, and that was a great factor in deciding a three-set match. Bedford (Wellington) has reached the final of the men’s singles and will play the winner of the semi-final between N. G. Sturt (Auckland) and L. W. Udy (Wanganui).
