Occasionally that remarkable fore- hand drive (made surely with the shortest swing back in the world to- day?) flashed out and left the opposi tion dazed: more often though it was a perfect lob which illustrated what racket. But his volleying was poor. Ife seemed to be experimenting: that undereat volley was something entire ly new from him. And it didn't werk: that is not more than twice. But now and again he did acore with beautiful fint rneket volley by which he sent the ball away at a sharp angle and very fast.

Fincher is decidedly stale, despite what he says to the contrary. Once again the bad light bothered him, but more significant was his slowness about the court, particularly in fol lowing up service to the pot. This is usually his strongest feature, but on Thursday he was so laborious that the Tauls invariably found time to plant their returns at his feet and force him to cock up easy volleys.
