A running commentary on The final of the amateur singles championship by Aidan Crawley from the Queen's Club,
West Kensington
This tournament-the great event of the year in the Amateur Racquets world-began at Queen's Club last Monday, and the final for the doubles championship was played on Saturday. Listeners are to hear a commentary on the final of the singles-the best of five games. It was hoped that the American champion would compete, but it is interesting in itself that last year's winner, D. S. Milford, open and world champion, is defending his title.
Aidan Crawley , who is to give the commentary, played with Neville Ford for Harrow in 1926, the pair being regarded as certainties. It was the last time that Earl Baldwin went down to his old school to present the cup, but he had to give it to the representatives of Wellington, who were surprise winners.
