The Board's contention is that the eliminating competition, in which Warnock, Peter Kane and Phil Milligan are. concerned, must first be completed, the win- ner to go forward as Lynch's challenger.

Recently is was announced that

Italian And Chinese Tennis Stars Succeed

London, March. 19.

- Both the men's singles semi-finals at the West Twickenham tourna- ment at Strawberry Hill to-day will be of an international character, the last four being M. D. Deloford, H. L. de Morpurgo, the old Italian Davis Cup player, R. A. Shayes, and the Chinese, J. H. Ho.

Shayes, the holder, did not have matters all his own way against A. G. Lloyd, an unorthodox stroke- player from Hampshire, and al- though Shayes won by 10—8, 60, Lloyd held a commanding lead at one time in the opening set. In the second, Shayes, volleyed too briskly for his opponent.
