HOLDER WINS IN STRAIGHT SETS

Three singles matches in the Open Tennis tournament were de- cided yesterday but in none of them did the play reach a high standard.

S. A. Rumjahn, holder, had little difficulty in eliminating Lieutenant Shields-Goodman in the straight

sets of 6-1, 6-2. Goodman showed 1 well-controlled backhand but he

was palpably weak on the other

hand.
