D. S. Milford (holder) v.
Alf Cooper
A commentary during the first seriet
. of seven games by Thomas Woodrooffe from Queen's Club, London
Thomas Woodrooffe is to give a commentary today during the first series of seven games between D. S. Milford, the holder (an amateur), and Alf Cooper (a professional), the challenger; and on Saturday he will give a commentary during the second series of seven games between them.
The championship was in abeyance for some years until Setzler challenged Milford in 1937 over fourteen games-seven to be played in New York, and seven in London. Milford won by seven games to four. Later Alf Cooper was matched with Setzler, and beat him fairly easily.
Cooper was the professional at
Queen's Club for a good many years, and went last year as professional to Eton. During his career he has won both the Professional and the Open Championships.
