to a good player. Wodehouse won the
first set easily, and the same may be
said of Godfrey, in the second. The
third set was for blood. The outcome

in the tournament, much to the dis
appointment of all players as he is the
one the Beretania men were banking
on, being as he was rightly consider
ed, the strongest man in their ranks
