TENNIS CHAMPIONSHIP

GOLDMAN AND PEARCE REACH LAST EIGHT

(By "Varitan")

L.. Goldman and T. A. Pearce, aided and abetted by lu Tak- lam, yesterday won their way into the last eight of the Colony doubles tennis championship. They beat lu Tak-cheuk and lu Tak-lam 6-4, 5-7, 6-2 after a match of curious inconsiston- cies, patches of brilliance and intervals of childish blunders. Although I expected the In brothers to have a slight edge on the new Goldman-Pearce combination, the ro sult did not come as a surprise, na it was evident before the players took the court that it was match in which anything might happen.

Durban, Mar. 3.

Australia's tour of South Africa closed here to-day with another Test triumph-by an innings and six runs

and with another triumph for Grim mett, who took 6 for 73 in the South Afrkan second innings. He had taken 7 for 100 in the first innings.

Given fine weather, or rather, weather in which cricket is possible—the final destination of the Senior Shield must be known this evening, for any result to the game will settle things.
