INITIAL SUCCESS IN

MIXED DOUBLES TENNIS LEAGUE

At The Expense Of The Ladies' Recreation Club

After competing for three years in the Mixed Doubles Tennis League without winning a match, K.C.C. "B" yesterday broke the ice when they beat the Ladies Recreation Club by 6% sets to 22 on the Cox's Road courts. In 1935 the team failed to win a match. The following year they managed to draw one encounter, but lost the remainder, and last season they again suffered defcat in all matches.

The team, hawever, is stronger this season, and there is no reason why should not chnik up further successes before the programme is

for

The two outstanding pairs in yes- terday's match were Clarke and Miss V. Bradbury for the winners and J. J. Ferguson and Mrs. Faddell the losers. Both won two

and a half sets. Ferguson played splendid forcing tenals, serving powerfully and making some very nice shots from the forecourt. Mrs. Waddell dis- played skill in retrieving and she re- turned practically everything.

The winners were well served by their other two pairs, who won a couple of sets apiece. Beavon and Miss Abrahim nearly pulled off their opening set against Clarke and Mlas Bradbury. After lending two-love and then trailing 2-4, and 3-5, they drew up to five-all, but failed to last.
