Ne Sze Kwong and his partner ade a better display is the replay of their previous match. The ground was very heavy and the court not of the most even. Choa showed an in clination to go to pieces which must be rectified if he and Ng are to beat the Wong-Yvanovitch combination, Their opponents played a uniform game, doing nothing very brilliant and making a number of bad mis- takes. Their services are the best part of their game. Several service aces should have helped them to a better score than they actually at tained, but the ground strokes were lacking. With more practice and an improvement in the department that I have indicated they should go 2 long way in the future.
The score, was 6-4, 6-3, 6-2 in favour of the Chinese. The Cham- pion was in much better form and brought off some of those seemingly impossible saves which endear him to the crowd. His play is more steady now, and practice was evi- destly what he needed.
