sional change Of pate 10 gain nceH, 20
that Reid's steadiness was en- impor-
tsnt factor in his victory. Iafforguc
frequently failed TO make the most Of
his chances and drove Rcid's deceptive
shots into the tcll-tale- Reid displayed

that were exceedingly difficult.
The first two games found Lafforgue

when trailing by II to 3, Lafforgue re
yefted to q change OF pace that helped
him to pull Reids advantage down to
"a 10 .. However, he gave Reid the
game by driving into the tcll-tale for
his final point
Iaiorgue made n great rally in the
third game. Reid had assumed an ad-
vantage or Il to 4 when Iaforgnc
gained II to - point margin, but his
rival again evened matters. In the
extra set Of three aces Reid again
gained the first ace, but Laforgue' S
determined playing would not be de-
MED, and he proceeded to collect the
necessary thrSe aces in succession.
The fourth game was nip and tuck
fight until LafTorgue was in the van
by count of to 8. Latforgue then
committed two errors, which placed
Reid in the lead, which he held always
thereafter
