SIRDAR FOR THE FINAL
Cousin H. D. Disappoints
The cousins "8.A" and "ED." met in the semi-final of the Open Tennis Singles Championship yes- terday afternoon. on the stand court and "SA" emerged winner by three straight sets.
The match was very tame in comparison to other matches in "the semi-final in past years. The first set went to 20 games before "S.A." took it and it was in this sit that "HD" had his share of the game.
JE
The ground was soft and slip- pery which was not very conducive to good tennis, but "8.A." adapt- ed himself more easily to the con- ditions than "H.D."
8.A." was the more steady of the two and time and again when "E.D." "made him run" he was equal to the occasion and brought of many a smart recovery. He was faster or his feet and ran about the court with ease whereas "H.D." was invariably beaten every time **9.A." got to the ball. "SA's." ground strokes were also
brought into play to great advan- rage and everytime "H.D." had to
make a ground stroke he either netted it or sent it out of the line.
BRIGHT TENNIS Playing brigh tennis in the first set "H.D." set. a gruellingspace for “S_A" and was actually leading by 0-8 and 38-15 when he allowed "SA" o draw level and pest him. After the first set "H.D." was making the mistakes and "SA" accepting them, and putting in plenty of
smart drives and re- coveries, annexed the second with the loss of only one game.
The third set saw "H.D." com- ing into his own but only for a spell.
After drawing level at-3-all S.A." forged ahead and won the next three games and the match In the last game of the match "8.A." twisted his ankle while making a high hit. He recovered a little later, to continue with the "match, "H.D." disappointed a large following who fully expected him to qualify for the final but on the day's play he was out„generalled in every department of the game, The scores were 11-9, 6-1, 6-3.

· The fight did not quite live up to the expectations of a 6.000 audience, because Berg and Humery
knew too much about each other.
They boxed each other to a standstill in London last January. and we had a repetition of the whirlwind alugging in Paris. By this time they had commanded too. high a respect for each other's
capabliities.
It seemed that Berg has an amazing capacity for making light of the most dynamic hitting-cr that Humery has lost the one-time well-nigh infallible ability for mak- ing all the opposition taste the boards at least once in the fight.
The match was' gruelling without being spectacular. Each fought with any amount of courage and
energy, but that the thrills of the
other encounters were missing was, I maintain, due to their tro- frequent meetings.
