three sets out Of four.
From the opening service Buckley, who
has previously held the title. began to
play the ball into the corners for nickers
and die-aways of the back wall. His
shots were so uniformly successful and
his speed so good that Putnam faded
from the first set. In the second set the
latter managed 10 take A brace. Buckley,
after the first flush Of fast play, let down
on his game, and by adroity intercepting
the ball In mid-court in the volleys Put

a sensational reversal by defeating King
