THE THIRD TIME.
HONDA SINGLES CHAMPION AGAIN.
TOO GOOD FOR HOLDER.
For the third time, T. Honda, the Japanese player, is open cham- pion of the Colony at lawn tennis. Yesterday he repeated his victory of 1924 and 1926 and was too good for the holder, S. A. Rum- jahn, the Indian youth, who beat Honda so decisively in the semi- final last year.
