LAWN TENNIS
AT LANCASTER PARK. By .Telegrapli—Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, Last Night. At Lancaster Park, tennis matches were played between A. C. Beamish and A. D. Lowe, two of the British Isles representatives in the recent Davis Oup contest, and local players. There was an excellent attendance. The weather was fine, but threatening, and a strong, cold wind blew across the. ground. Some very good tennis was witnessed. The New Zealand champion, G. Gllivier, beat Beamish, 6—4, 2—6, 6—2, but Lowe outclassed A. D. Qox, 6 —3, 6 —4. In the doubles, the visitors beat Ollivier and G. G. Aitken very comfortably, the scores being 6—3, I—6,1 —6, 6—6, 6—2. Ollivier did not play nearly so well as in the singles, though Aitken played good solid games. The visitors played with fine understanding, and at times their game was a treat to watch. Beamish played a fine all round game, while Lowe's awkward service and brilliant driving proved him a very dangerous player. Both men volleyed well and played a superb game close to the net. To-morrow Ollivier plays Lowe, and P. G. Greenwood meets Beamish. The same players take part in the doubles.
