Mr. H. R.. B. Hancock in his speech mentioned that for the first time, the semi-final and final tics of the competitions had been playi ed off on the scheduled dates, with the result that they had been able to bring the event to a conclusion on the original, date. He thought that this was most gratifying. He extended congratulations-
H. D. and S. A. Rumjahn Win Title for Sixth Time.to the winners of the various
THREE STRAIGHT SETS,
Kong Too-cheung and Ho Ka-lau Outplayed.
[By Base Line."]
1
The Indian pair, H. D..and S. A. Rumjahn, added yet another triumph to their long list of successes when they defeated Kong 'Too-cheung and Ho Ka-lau in the final of the Open Doubles Cham-
pionship at the II.K.C.C.
This is the sixth consecutive time that they have won this event, In yesterday's game they displayed their prowess to such an extent that they were streets ahead of their opponents, whom they treated with little respect. To-tlefeat the Chinese pair in straight sets is no mean feat, us they are quite the best second string in Hong Kong,' and deservedly finalists.
The game was full of thrills, spectacular smashes, long railies and amazing volleying all going to make up a thoroughly enjoyable match: The only disappointment provided was the fact that the match was so soon over.
His Excellency the Officer Administering the Government, Mr. Wilfred T. Southern, C.M.G., and Mrs. Southorn, nccompanied by Capt. Swayne, A.D.C., and Mr. J. Barrow,, Private Secretary, were interested spectators.
At the conclusion of the match, Miss Hancock graciously' presented the prizes to those successful players present.

a good player passing through, they were always faced with the same old trouble-that of finding money for the expenses of exhibition games.
Affiliation fees and Increased sub- scriptions for teams entered in the League were discussed, and it was eventually decided that each club should be called upon to pay an affiliation fee of $20 a year to the
Association and, further, that $10 for each team should be paid as an entrance fee to the league, as usual. The meeting further decided that the methed, of scoring, as used dur-
