Goals to One
The effects of his strenuous 'wock of Interport cricket," fol- “lowed by the sudden switch on Friday to tennis, were made patently clear at the Chinese Recreation Club yesterday: when E. C. Fincher, partnered by Miss Olive Dalziel, met M. W. Lo and Mrs. Litton in the semi-final of the Mixed Doubles championship.
Teddy struck a very unhappy- patch. Certainly I have never seen him play so poorly, and it was an uncommonly саву journey to the final enjoyed by the holders.
Except for one fleeting phase in the second set, when the K.C.C. couple took the first two games, Fincher and Miss Dalziel were com pletely out of the picture. But the promise of this start was not ful- filled, and, taking six games, in a row, M. W. Lo and Mrs. Litton won. tho set and match, the first set fall- ing to them at 6-1.
