A DIG BATTLE. Playing in the second round of the Men's Championship, on the centre court,

Franco-American battle Was CLAUDE FALKINER AT SINGAPORE. # koen fought out at a very hot pace; between

billiards professional. championship, by 40, 63, 64, 62.

Richards opened with the service and there were lighting exchanges, the ball Aashing back and forth across the net. The games went against the service until four-all was called, and Richards won the ninth game after "deuca" had been reached. Then by a couple of spectacular "akilla" be won the next game and

the set..

Cochet, by volleying magnificently and dealing effectively with the American's chopped strokes, went to four-love in the second set and squared matters to one set all by taking the set at 63

Two-all was called in the third act, and Richards went to 3-2, alter "dence" had been called eleven times. The gaines went to four-all, but Cochet, by a trio of remarkable drives landing about one inch from the baseline, took the lead and went on to win the set at 0-4.

The Frenchman continued to be very sound, bis back-hand play being perfect, and in judgment and placing out-play- ing the American. At the end of the fourth set, by winning which Cochet won the match, both, men were ovated. -

TWO BRITISH DEFEATS.. Playing on the centre court in the second round of the Men's Singles. Championship, Brugnon (France) beat Hodges (Britain), 7-5, 6-2, 6-2.

Another important second round match, played on an outer court, was that be tween Howard Kinsey (America) and Gilbert, the British Davis Cup player Kinsey won in three straight sets, 6-1, 6-1, 6-4. Kinsey out-classed Gilbert in all departments.

MDLLE. LENGLEN'S WIN.

On the centre court also, in the first round of the Ladies' Championship, Mdlle. Suzanne Lenglen (France) beat Miss Browne (America) 6-3, 0-3.

Suzanne, who wore a pink jumper and bandeau, won the first five games straight, but Miss Browne, by volleying superbly, won the sixth and seventh games, only to lose the next.”

It was once said of Falkiner that the annoying part of him was the manner in which he made the game appear to be so casy. He was in great form, compiling| breaks of 84, 233, 187 and 175, and giving fine displays of nursery cannons, for which he is famous.

His opponent was Mr. H. H. Bullen, who scored 113 in the match of 800 up. It took Falkiner just over an hour and 1.ten minutes to obtain his points.

An amusing incident occurred, during the evening, when Falkiner, attempting a forcing hot, sent his cue and object ball off the table. The missile collided with the glass of an onlooker, who im mediately shouted-" Boy!"

A game of Snooker pool followed the billiards match in which Mr. C. L Wyatt was the opponent. Falkiner early on in the game compiled a break of 24. He brought the game to a Anish by taking the last of the red-balls and clearing the table of the colours.

Mr. Falkiner also figured in a match of 800 up at the Tanglin Club, his opponent being Mr. H. B. Layton.

Mr. Falkiner was not in such sparkling form, the reason probably being the un- usual sultriness of the evening. Mr. Falkiner took an hour and twenty minutes to run out, Mr. Layton's scors being 112,

The professional player only made one break of over 100, and that was 107, but be mado. several breaks of 70, 50 and 90.
