TARANAKI v. WAIKATO. Bv Telegraph—Press Association NEW PLYMOUTH, December 10. An outstanding tennis game ended unfortunately when Miss N. Beverley, top lady for Waikato, fainted in her match against Mrs R. P. Adams in the Taranaki-Waikato contest, Taranaki won by 15 sets to 9. Miss Beverley is regarded as a likely New Zealand champion in the next two or three years. She was the only one in the Dominion to take a set off Miss Joan Hartigan, the Australian champion, in the tour two years ago. Mr Adams, a New Zealand singles and doubles champion, formerly of Wellington, paid tribute to the remarkable form displayed by Miss Beverley before the intense pain of a blistered foot and the heat of the sun caused her to collapse. Miss Beverley will not be allowed to play for a week or two. QUEENSLAND CHAMPIONSHIPS.
