Gen- Sep tv FINAL TENNIS MATCH WON BY WINGHAM The Wingham Tennis Club con­ cluded their inter-club matches for the season when they entertained the Palmerston racquet-wielders here last Friday night. The locals won the match handily 9-4, making a clean sweep of the men’s doubles and earn­ ing' a 4-1 margin in the mixed match­ es. The visiting ladies won their doubles matches 3*1. The local tennis club enjoyed a very active season considering the ra­ ther unsuitable tennis weather afford­ ed during the past summer. In all, nine matches were played with sur- rounding towns, such as Seaforth, Listowel, Palmerston, Kincardine and Teeswater and the club made a very creditable showing. The policy of the club has always been to have as many of its members who wish to, partici­ pate in matches. This plan in the long, run is better for the club as a whole,' although the results do not always show on paper. BELGRAVE W. M. S.
