Under very poor conditions with blustering wind, bad light jand slippery courts, U.S.R.C. beat |K.C.C. “A” at Cox's Road yester- day by 7--2 in the only match in the Mixed Doubles Division played.
At least two of the courts yes- terday should not have been play- ed on. They were badly sodden making it most difficult for players to keep their feet and balls black- ened so rapidly that in the difficult light in the last round, they were almost impossible to follow.
U.S.R.C. were never in any dif- ficulty. They were 21⁄2-1⁄2 up at the end of the first round and 421% after the second,
And they were not at full strength. Miss Ann Tylor, suffer- ing from a bad attack of sunburn, was unable to play and Mrs. R. Stokes partnered L. Goldman, and, considering she was brought into the team at very short notice, gave a fine display.
STAR COMBINATION Star. U.S.R.C. Combination were W. A. H. Duff and Miss M. Giffiths, who only dropped five games in the course of the afternoon.

DAILY, DOUBLE-2 CRIFFEL
Duff is the ideal mixed doubles play- er, his long reach and tremendous position for the opposing ladies. Fea- ture of a steady all-round game yes- terday was his brilliant overhead work- Despite the poor light, he smashed consistently from all parts of the court, being particularly impressive in this department in the last round against Guest and Mrs, Clarke.
Miss Griffiths, in her usual quiet way, gave him every support.
a
E. C. Fincher and Mrs. Burnett were the most successful home pair, being the only combination to win complete set. This they accomplished in the second round against Goldman and Mrs. Stokes after they had given a dreadful display in their opening engagement against Duff and Miss Griffiths.
At his best, Finchef volleyed with precision and scored heavily with his chopped backhand, while Mrs. Bur- nett's best stroke was her cross-court forehand drive,
Of the other home players, Mrs. Sweeney played some nice ground strokes as did Mrs. Clarke but the latter was very apt to position her. self badly and leave large expanses of court open for the opposition.
