M. E. Le and M. W. Lo, 64, 67, ei. Yesterday's match was undoubtedly the fastest and best seen so far in the tour nament. There has not previously this year been a contest in which so few mis takes were made. The exchanges between the two pairs were swift and play was pretty to watch right to the end..
Hancock's put tremendous pace behind his shots and he won a great deal of ap plause by his lightaing service and crash placing hetween his opponents. Red- mond put a tourist into his service and had many backhand winning shot. The Club pair covered their court well and kept their opponents in the base line very often. They took the seepad set by force ful tennis. The Rumjahns' combination was better and they were aggressive whenever they had the opportunity.
THE PLAY.
Settling down early, the Rumjahns virtually ran away with the first sto be fore Hancock and Redmond had started. Breaking through H.D.'s service and holding his own, Hancock and his part- ner secured a valuable two lore fend in the second set. Each server won his game after this and so the Club. pair eventually won the net at 6-4. The stan dard of play in this set was very high all four players sending the balls ACTORS the net at swift pace and the vol leying of both sides was exceedingly clever.
Play continued fast in the third and fourth sets, which the Rumjabns won. Hancock und Redanand pressed their op ponents and there were many good rallies, but the agility of the youthful couple overcame the courteraft and ex perience of the older pair.
