Mrs. Krenov Reaches Semi-finals

Miss Harrop to Oppose Miss Holwill Next Mrs. B. Krenov experienced no difüculty to enter into the semi-finals of the Ladies singles championship when she disposed of Mrs. LH. Howell yesterday afternoon on the Shanghai Lawn Tennis Association court by two love sets.

The winner was clearly a much superior player as she retired her opponent in less than thirty minutes. Mrs. Howell made a plucky fight throughout the contest and nearly broke into the winning side on three occasion when Mrs. Krenov was getting a little careless. A fairly strong service and sound stroking from the base-line built up the winner's game.

Today, beginning at 5 p.m., Mrs Collaco will oppose Miss Becee Lo, the only Chinese player in the race. The Portuguese is expected to come through and will probably meet Mrs. R. Fletcher in the next round to fight for the right of entering the final. Mrs. Fletcher is to play Mrs. S. Bradley on Friday. Tomorrow Miss B. Harrop will face Miss J. Holwill in a contest which should prove to be most interesting.
