ROEHAMPTON Tennis Finals

CHOY AGAIN BEATS OLLIFF

AN EXTRAORDINARY SET

London, September 27.

A day which had strayed from June into September favoured

the close of the Roehampton Club's autumn tournament yesterday, and players and onlookers alike welcomed the plea sant weather.

›The chief event of the meeting was the fight between J. S. Olliff and W. C. Choy for the D'Abernon Trophy. It was curious that these two players should meet on successive Saturdays in a singles final, seeing that, till the Cumberland Club's meeting last week, they had never encountered each other before.

This put him. 2-love-in the second 4. set. Olliff squared at 2 all, was down 2-4, and squared again. Not only that, but he won the next game as well for a 64 lead. Choy had played with more of a hint of casualness in these 2. last three games, but in the next three he put in all he knew, and won all three of them, losing only two points and 5. in the process a good finish to seventy minutes of rather patchy, if at times really brilliant tennis on the part of both men.
