GAMES REVIEWED

(By "Veritas")

AFTER allowing for Monday's disappointment, the opening of the league tennis this week can be regarded as satisfactory.

FOUR out of five games in the "B" Division were cleared up on Tuesday and a part pro- gramme of "C" Division fixtures was played off yesterday.

CONDITIONS on both days were none too

favourable, the grounds being heavy as a result of the week-end and mid-week rainfalls. It is to be hoped there, will be no further visitation until this evening, or interruption in the first block of Mixed Division games is likely.
