might at last change hands, and il very nearly did. In the first set there was only one pair in the picture and that was the challeng ing pair. By skilful lobbing, ac- curate smashing, and beautiful driving the pair established superiority which was greater than the score of G-4 would suggest. A feature of this opening set was the continual lapses in the service of all four participants. This, I feel, was due to a disconcerting cross wind which made judgment of trick services very difficult.
