Race Club "B" team confirmed good reports by winning their match against the Country Club "B" in the junior squash rackets knockout tournament beld yesterday, their team winning four matches to nil and while the first strings of the two teams have yet to play the result is already assured. At the Rowing Club the result is still in the balance with the Rowing Club having secured a 2-1 lead, and with two matches to play the Light Horse may yet defeat them. The two postponed matches, that between A. C. Sinclair of the Rowing Club and H. Máitlind of the Light Horse, and the other between R. Dickinson of the Rowing Club and T. Wilson of the Light Horse being held over till Monday due to injuries to players.
The Country Club was at home to the Race Club but failed to do particularly well, their guests being very much in the limelight. However all the Race Club players are tried men and the Country Chih have another opportunity to make amends when they play the losers of the first round and may come around to the final by longer route.
At the Rowing Club the matches were much more closely fought, and two out of the three went to five games. T. O. Schmid of the Rowing Club defeated J.G.W. Lewis in three straight games, thereby gaining revenge for the loss he sustained in their last meeting in the league. One of the hardest fought games of the day was seen when E. P. Morphew of the Rowing Club defeated J. Moore of the Light Horse by 3-9, 6-9. 9-3, 9-6, 10-9. This match was particularly interesting in that the visiting player went well ahead and looked to be in a position to win in three straight games. The reversal of play occurred and Morphew went to his points in the next two games with comparative ease. The fifth and deciding game provided even more exciting in that Morphew led by 8-1 and looked like running out an easy winner when Moore came up to 8-8 and in the play off Morphew went on to win.
