over AL' Sullivan, also a former holder of the title by scores of 0-2, 6-4, 6-1.

Goldman who is playing better tennis this year than last year. defeated the holder, Captain P. 8. Cannon in the semi-final round in a convincing manner, while Sullivan entered the final round with a win over H. J. Armstrong. Both Goldman and Bullyan have appeared in the Anal round together on several occasions.

In 1931 Sullivan was conceded a walk-over in the final round: by Goldman who was ill and unable to play. In 1932 Goldman defeat- ed Sullivan in straight sets, while last year Captain Cannon defeat- ed Goldman in the semi-final round of the event:

Last Friday's tennis did not pro- duce anything brilliant, although at times both players showedt, flashes of good all round play.
