LAWN TENNIS.

DOMINION CHAMPIONSHIPS. TWO TITLE-HOLDERS DEFEATED. By Telegraph—Press Association CHRISTCHURCH, December 27. Intense heat again prevailed for the second day of the New Zealand lawn tennis championships at Wilding Park, and several players suffered more or less severely from its effects. The holders of two championship titles were defeated to the surprise of all tennis enthusiasts, and a third also come unpleasantly close to defeat. Miss Dulcie Nicholls (present New Zealand women’s champion), was beaten 6-3, 7-5 in the second round by another Wellington player, Mrs N. Thomson. Miss Nicholls felt the heat very much and left the court to rest when leading 5-2 in the second set. After resuming she did not win another game. The second surprise was the defeat of Misses Wake and Andrew (present women’s doubles champions), by Misses Gould and Macdonald, also of Canterbury, in the third round. Miss Wake, like Miss Nicholls, was overcome by the heat and played listlessly. C. Angas (present men’s champion), received a sharp shock in the third round of the singles when H. Dymond, of Canterbury, carried him to five sets, after winning the second and third sets. But for a change of tactics in the fourth set by slowing down the pace and upsetting Dymond’s driving, Angas would possibly have lost the match. He will have to show better form on Monday to retain his title. The quarter-finalists in the men’s singles are Barnett v. Hayr; Wilson v. Johns; Angas v. Len France; Stedman v. Patterson. It looks as if Wilson may fight out the final against Angas. In the ladies’ singles, the semifinalists are Mrs Melody v. Mrs Adams; Mrs Dykes v. Miss Ramsay; Mrs Thomson v. Miss Myers, and Miss Marjorie Macfarlane v. Miss Wake. Prediction of the ultimate winner here is hazardous, but Mrs Dykes seems to be getting near her championship j form of three years ago.

I In the men’s doubles Wilson and I stedman have advanced to the semi- ■ final, and will probably meet the France Bros. In the bottom half of i this event, Angas and Seay, and Wal--1 lace and Lampe look likely semifinalists, and the contests promise to j be exceptionally keen. | The semi-finalists in the ladies’ doubles are Mrs Melody and Miss : Myers v. Misses Gould and Macdonald; I Mrs Adams and Miss Nicholls v. Misses Macfarlane. The finalists in the boys’ doubles are McGibbon and Davys v. Keen and Aspell. Results:— MEN’S SINGLES. Third Round.

By defeating Orbell in three straight sets, Barnett, who signalised his appearance in the open singles championships by beating D. G. France yesterday, played his way into the fourth round. Barnett took the first set easily, playing to Orbell’s forehand which was erratic in direction and length. Most of the later games went to deuce, with Barnett winning out by greater steadiness.

While the play of Glanville (Canterbury), lacked its usual mobility, that of his opponent in the third round, A. C. Johns (Auckland), was forceful, and all over the court. Glanville could not cope with the placements and sharp volleying of his opponent. Despite the glaring sun, Patterson played a pugnacious accurate game against D. C. Johnston, and went into the fourth round in straight sets, winning 6-3, 6-1, 6-2. Stedman, of Auckland, likewise secured a victory in straight sets over Somerville. He was too powerful in every department, and made few errors.

Superior combination, greater anticipation, and better stroke play all round, gave France brothers a good victory over the Auckland pair, Johns and Hayr. Don France was particularly deadly overhead, and scored off virtually everything loose. His lob volleys were also delightful to watch. Len France was consistently accurate, but his cut volleys were not as troublesome to the opposing pair as Don France’s fierce cracks down the centre. The Wellington pair won the first two sets. In the third Johns and Hayr led 3-1 and 4-2. They kept attacking hard, but fell into errors. France brothers drew level at 5-all. The Aucklanders hardened up again, and captured the

set at 7-5. The fourth set saw more fine tennis, with France brothers definitely in the ascendancy, to win the set at 6-1 and the match. Barnett and Anderson made a game fight against Stedman and Wilson in the second round of the men’s doubles, going down 6-3, 6-1, 6-2. The Auckland pair were in brilliant form, and drove and volleyed like champions Stedman, particularly, was in great nick.

Angas and Seay had not the slightest trouble in their task of defeating W. H. Robinson and H. G. Searle. The score was 6-1, 6-1, 6-2, and several of the games were love games. Angas and Seay are expected to figure in the final. Though Wallace is recovering from an illness, he and Lampe displayed excellent form in defeating Loughnan and Dymond in four sets. It was an| attractive match, full of sparkle. Lampe’s serving was often untouchable, and Wallace’s angled volleys captured many points. The progress of Misses Marjorie and Marion Macfarlane was not threatened in their match with Miss N. Fleming and D. Hart. The Auckland pair hit too hard for their opponents, who were driven on to the defensive, and weak returns were effectively dealt with from the net. A strong pair in the ladies’ doubles championship, Mrs Melody and Miss Myers were fully extended to defeat Misses Sherris and Johnston, 7-5, 5-7, 6-1. It was a hard-fought match. Another big upset was provided in the third round of the women’s doubles, in the defeat of the title-holders, Misses Wake and Andrew, by Misses Gould and Macdonald. Miss Wake was greatly affected by the heat, and in consequence her play was very much below standard. Miss Andrew’s driving and net play were good, and she put up a good fight, but the steady driving of Miss Macdonald and Miss Gould’s all-round fine play, proved too much. Miss Gould’s fast low crosscourt drives were very telling. Miss Nicholls and Mrs Adams beat Mrs Thomson and Miss Howe in a hard match, played in the heat of the afternoon. They won the first set easily, but in the second set Mrs Thomson and Miss Howe made a hard struggle of it. and extended Miss Nicholls and Mrs Adams to the utmost before going down 6-3. 7-5. When Miss Andrew and Seay met Miss Ramsay and A. C. Johns, of Auckland, some of the brightest exchanges of the day were witnessed. Miss Ramsay and Johns, who had earlier victories in the singles to their credit went very well. Miss Andrew and Seay combined excellently, however, and Seay was nearly his old brilliant self, and met each separate attack with a new defence. He saved, chopped, drove, volleyed and smashed with equal facility. He was ably seconded by Miss Andrew, who found many openings with clean drives and smashes. Mrs Dykes gained a fine victory over another Auckland player, Miss Marion Macfarlane. The ex-New Zealand lady champion was on her game, and her fast and well directed drives often left her opponent standing. Miss Macfarlane also had trouble in dealing with Mrs Dykes’s fast service. Mrs Dykes has an excellent chance of regaining the title this year.

None of the other ladies’ singles provided much excitement, except the defeat of Miss Nicholls.
