WORTHINGTON EASILY KEEPS HIS TITLE.
Pay-Lieutenant-Commander. R. E. Worthington, R.N., formerly of Hongkong the holder of the Singles Championship of the Royal Navy and Royal Marines, easily retained his title
at Roehampton beating Lieutenant- Commander P.F. Glover in the final in three straight sets with, the loss of only seven games.

Yet he is not by any means a stone waller, and he has several scoring strokes, the 1 best of them being a hooked drive from the forehand side across the court, which has lots of pace on o It.
