Success at Table Tennis Following success in the New Zealand Maori Table Tennis Championships at Gisborne last July, a Maori woman, Mrs J. A. Williams of Wanganui, went on to win the New Zealand Open Mixed Doubles title in partnership with England's No. 1 player, Dennis Neale. She performed very well throughout the tournament, winning the ‘Ladies Bracelet’, and playing a major part in winning the Mixed Doubles title. At the Maori Championships, Mrs Williams won the Ladies' Singles, the Ladies' Doubles with Miss Albert of Wanganui, and was runner-up in the Mixed Doubles with Mr M. Taipua, also of Wanganui. It appears that Mrs Williams is only the second Maori woman to have won a national title, the other being Mrs Nettie Trail (néc Davis) who is now overseas.
