way to the first title of the annual Coral Beach Invitational Tennis Tournament yesterday, winning the men's 45 championship, 6-0, 6-1 in only 46 minutes.

Beautyman's victory was so overpowering that he allowed Leader just 29 points.

Leader's only success came in the 10th game when he broke his American opponent's serve at 30.

Once the 49-year-old Beautyman broke Leader to start the match, then allowed the top seed only two points in the final three games of the first set, the writing was on the wall. Any hope of a reprieve following a 38-minute rain delay with the second-seeded American up 4-1 in the second set was quickly dispelled when Beautyman took just eight minutes to polish off the final two games for the title. Leader saved four match points, and even held one game point before losing.

"I watched Earl on Monday,'' said Beautyman after the match, "and I noticed that he was very accurate, and strong, on his forehand. So I knew from the outset that I would have to work on his backhand, and it paid off.'' In an outstanding Mixed Doubles contest top seeds Kathy Stuhler and Stuart Smith moved into the finals when they defeated third seeds Alice Duff and John Moore 3-6, 6-3, 6-4.

The turning points occurred in the last two games of the final set when Stuhler and Smith broke Moore at 30 for a 5-4 lead, then saved three break points in order to win the game, set and match.

Another Mixed Doubles contest saw the fourth seeded pair of Marnie Johnson and Mark Cordeiro heating Barbara Lambert and James Hopkins 6-3, 6-3, while England's Joan Hassell, second seed in the Women's 40s singles, ended the run of the upset-minded Dominique Laffont, winning 6-3, 6-0.
