The finals of the South of England lawn tennis champion- ships were watched in lavely weather by a very large crowd at Dovanshira Park here to- day, when Nigel Sharpe crown- ed a week of good play by winning the men's singles title for the first time.

He bent the lusty-hitting E. D.] Andrews, of New Zealand, in 21 rather dimppointing fual by 6—3, 6-3, ând bis kendiness from the back of the court quite prevented the loser from doing as he would have liked. In fact, the harder Andrews smole the ball the faster) was it returned by a man who is not nearly so slow as he appeark. There was no question as to the superiority of the woman champ- ton, Miss Dorothy Round, in ab all too brief Women's Singlen fan) | with Mrs. Maurice R. King, who | was the holder. Miss Round won by 6-4, 6-1, and in the second set her beautiful stroke play was much admired.
