N damp, heavy courts and with a strong cross wind making matters uncomfortable for players, the U.S.R.C. had little difficulty in beating K.C.C. (2) by 8-1 in the Mixed Doubles tennis League at King's Park yesterday afternoon.

DESPITE THE POOR CONDITIONS, SOME EXCELLENT RALLIES WERE ` WITNESSED, AND THE STANDARD OF TENNIS GENERALLY WAS VERY GOOD.:

Although the score would indicate a crushing victory for the visitors, this was not the case, many of the sets being fought out with rare spirit by a much inferior home team. W. M. Gittins and Mrs. Kew, although they lost all their sets, were a trifle unfortunate, carrying the opposition to the vantage game in three very close

On paper, these two teams are so evenly-matched, that to attempt. a forecast would be sheer folly. I am not prepared to go further than to tip an old set victory, one way or the other.
