SEMI-FINALISTS IN U.S.
CHAMPIONSHIP,
Forest Hills, Sopt. 10, Vernon G. Kirby, the South African inter- national tennis player, confounded the critics to-day by beating Frank Shields, America's No. 1 ranking player in the quarter-final of the national singles championship, thereby joining Fred Perry, Wilmor Allison and Sydney Wood in the semi-finals.
Perry cantered through his match with Clifford Sutter, three sets of 23 games being sufficient, and the decisive way in which he dealt with his young opponent, has sent the Englishman's stock still higher.
Wilmer Allison did not take long was the big surprise of the cham to polish off Stoefen in the single planship.

DON BRADMAN'S PERFECT BATTING AGAINST THE ARMY

SOLDIERS' FIELDING ATTAINS A VERY HIGH STANDARD
SOME OUTSTANDING WICKETKEEPING
On the Officers' Club ground, Aldershot, the Australians won their one-day match against the Army, officially beating them by six wickets, though play went on after that. The Australians' final score was 194 for seven, against the 110 for which the Army had been dismissed.
This ranks as Kirby's finest achievement in first clasa tennis. His many duels with the late Jiro Satoh in English provinciai tournaments in 1939 are still fresh in the memory, but in none of these did Kirby attain the same consistent brillance as that which The ground looked delightful [voluntary scoring stroke.
