The Lo's wore in good form, but were outplayed in nearly every department, succumbing in three straight sets, 6-2, 7-5, 6-3, They had no counter to the remarkable variety of shots introduced by Goldman, who was the outstanding player on the court.
All shots seemed to come the same to him, though he was seen at his best at the net, with perfect volleying and brilliant, smashes. Some of his "kills" were terrific. 2 McEachran rendered him excel- 2 lent support, his volleying being also a big feature. McEachran's o only weakness seemed to be In Oorvice. He always auspected "devil" in his opponent's, perhaps Because there was no kick in his
1 own
The Lo's put up a capital fight- ing display, some of their returns 1being brilliant. M. K. Lo defend- sed to a great extent, leaving the attack to his brother, who was in- clined to take risks.
