Union Church Defeated with Dispatch

At the Union Church yesterday evening a further round of the Mixed Doubles League was completed. The visitors were the C.S.F. International who won the series with 5 points to 4.

The visitor's first couple were Meise and Mme des Courtils who played against Eardley and Mrs. Sinclair in a match which was well Worth seeing. It was anticipated that the Church would take at least one game but Meise was back in his old form. It is doubtful whether he has made a better showing during ihe present season. His placing was of the first order and he varied his smashing and deep play with effec-ye drop shots which went a long way towards securing the three point victory. That Eardley was playing well adds lustre to Meise's performance. Mme des Courtils had not a great deal to do in the first two setts but in the last was of great assistance io her partner with her net game.
