The first set was won easily by Ha-
PAL and Madeira, 81, and then the
players all settled down to good steady
playing. The balance of the match
was very even, it looking as though the
full five sets would have to be played.
| The fourth and last set stood 5 to in
favor of Hapai and Madeira, when by
dint of hard playing, the Baldings won
three straight games, making it to 5,
which was Immediately made 6 All.
From then on the set continued deuce
until finally won out by Hapai and Ma
deira at u to 10, the record set of the
tournament. Following was the score
| of sets: 6-1. Ga, As, 1910.
| This makes Hapai and Madeira the
winners of this years club tournament,
and as Prouty is not here to defend last
years championship with Balding. it
will go by default to Hapai and Ma
deira.-Hawaii Herald.
