Prior to the Opc Singles Match yesterday M. Pagh retained the

Borg. Tulsa, was not very far behind. Club chan pienship,

his effort being a brilliant 925 Featu

beating (.

of his game was his wonderful con- II R. Oxlade by 2-6, 6-2, 6-4, | sistency, his lowest score being 183 and 6-3. his highest 189.

Pagh was not at his best at any stage and the constatit presstire applied by his opponent did not help him any. Oxlade was ta orthodox in the production of all his strokes but he was effective and met with most success when at the net. Pagh was made to do 21 lot of running but his greater experience and cons stency enabled him to establish his superiority after a doup struggle in the third It Blount had not done so well the set, and there was never any doubt that he would win the match thereafter, although Oxlade never gave up trying.

Useful Contribution Niehoff was down га 1 previous match, but his 841 went a long way to helping his side to victory. Hopkins on this occasion showed marked improve ment and he just topped the 800 mark There was very little between Hull. Watts and Birkett of the Alley Team Hall scored 780, Watts 776, and Birkett

750.
