several showers of rain last night,
the Manoa night tournament was
continued, and some good tennis was
seen. The crowd was fair-sized
one, and although the rain drove a
few of the people away, there were
some who stayed till the very last
stroke of the Savage-Waterhouse
match. which wound up the even
ing's fun.
The most exciting match of the
evening was the one between II. A.
Cooke Bockus and Novel; Guard.
The play was, spectacular, and at
one stage of the set the Novel; COM
bination led by score of to 1.
The match seemed to be all over bar
the shouting, but when things look
ed desperate Cooke and Bockus
changed their tactics and began to
lob. This scheme worked well, and
Guard and Nowell' went rather up
in the air, and the other pair quick
ly overhauled the big lead. tHi
After some fine play. during
which Bockus and his partner
forced the pace, the score was even
ed up. and the spectators began to
see light ahead for the pair that had
lost so many games at the start.
Bockus and Cooke kept going all the
time and only allowed their oppo.
nents to get two games during the
time they were piling up nine. The
set ended in victory for Cooke and
Bockus by a score OF 1917. Bockus
found difficulty in serving at first.
l,but. acting upon the advice Of his
partner. went to the extreme corner
of the court to serve and then did
good work. The light does not
bother SO much when the service Ia
delivered from the corner instead OF
from the usual spot on the back
line.
