"The winner used hard, low shots that clung to the side walls and thereby held the game in his advantage, He similarly outmancuvred his opponent and kept the latter retrieving whereas he was more ofter than not able to assume the commanding position in the middle of the court. He varied his pace anc kept the ball well out of Ginsbourg's reach so that the latter was forced io do more running than the eventual winner.
S. Ginsbourg played a hard and valiant game. He was able to get to most of the shots that Parkin was equalized at 5-5 and thereafter points were shared till Ginsbourg went ahead at 7-5. Here Parkin rallied strongly to tie the score at 7-7 again and went on to win at 9-7.
The last game saw another hard fight and again the score was evened up at 5-5 with Ginsbourg again taking the fore at 7-5, but again he ¢ould not hold out in front and was brought to even terms at 7-7, the fight for the final points seeing Parkin taking the score to 8-7, only to have it reach 8-8, and in the play off Parkin went on to win at 10-8.
