Conditions were not conducive to good tennis, but the standard set in the semi-final yesterday was by no means poor. Early in the game, Fincher was inclined to rely chiefly on speed, and it was in this manner that he lost the first set at 6-2. The Japanese player exhibited very pationt tactics and was content to send the ball, back to his opponent without taking much, chance, while, on the other hand, Fincher's enterprise proved costly, as he often found the net or drove out of the court..
