PLAYERS AT TENNIS TOURNEY

The scores 0-2, 0-4 in his favour, against a player of Kong's calibre, ure sufflelent proof of the high quality of Fincher's tennis yesterday. Not only was bis backhand in good working order, but he was able to keep mistakes on the forehand down to a minimum. The court, of course, suited Fin-
