Miss McOstrich Wins Hard Game
London, March 3.
D. Prenn will be opposed by R. Ritcale. and N. Sharpe by I. Sham in the semi-nnai of the men's singles at Queen's Club to day. Miss McOstrich meets Miss Harvey, and Miss N. B. Brown will play Miss M. Whitmarsh in the same stage of the women's singles. There were several surprising resu'ts yesterday. From the way H. L. de Morpurgo had beaten R. A. Shayes and Ử, S. Ollim many thought that R J. Ritchie's chances against him were not too.. bright. But Ritchie was evidently determined not, to allow. de Mor-
purgo to do al the attacking. From the start he stormed the net rimself, and generally cinched' the rally with a really good volley. Under this persistent pressure de Morpurgo lost control, and the first set went to Ritchie at 6--2. Play was very fast in the second. Lut Ritchie's voleys began to lose their accuracy, and de Morpurgo kept him running from end to end of the base-line and finished up a G-I set with four services that Ritchie did not attempt to return.
MATCH POINT MISSED At the start of the third set de Morpurgo apparently strained him- self going for a wide bal, and Rtch'e quickly went to 4-0. Then his opponent played so wall from the baseline that he took three games running. Ritchie had * match point in the next game, but missed it, and it was not till the twelfth game that he "won, Enish-
