Rumjahns Meet Their Waterloo.
TWENTY GAMES IN FOURTH SET.
[By "Bace Line."] Before a large crowd yesterday afternoon Francisco Aragon and Gordon Lum defeated the Colony's doubles champions, H. D. and S. A. Rumjahn, in a four set match.
Tennis fans were confident in the ability of our local players, and must have been not a little surprised at the result. Many years of doubles play had founded a combination which verged on perfec- tion; and this, no doubt, was the cause of their optimism. In addi- tion to this the visitors had rarely, if at all, played together in a doubles match before. Individually, the visitors held a great advan- tage over the Rumjahna, and this individualism triumphed against the combination of two players of more than average ability,
The Rumjohns stood very little chance against the superb driving of Aragon and the cleverly angled net shots of Gordon Lum. The lobbing campaign that they launched forth in the third and fourth sets, though at times it found ita mark, in the end proved disastrous against the brilliancy of Aragon in dealing with anything overhead.
Some, no doubt, will say that the cousins did not play up to their usually high standard, but I think that they did as well as they could against an opposition too powerful, too accurate, and too Relentless.
BRILLIANCY OF VISITORS.
The opening stages of the game showed no lack of combination and understanding on the part of Aragon and Gordon Lum, but lat- er in the match on several occa sions the loss of a point was due to the one leaving the ball to the other. But taking them as two Individual players of high stand- ard and an unfamiliar pair in the doubles game, they played to- gether extraordinarily well..
The First Set, Gordon Lum served
Very well in the opening game, using great discrimination in the placement of his first service. H. D. Rumjahn took his service to even matters. Aragon then came for- ward with a very powerful ser- vice-a distinct improvement on his exhibition on the previous day -and took his game without the loss of a point. "S. A." won his service after deuce had been call- ed and he had served two double faults. Lam then won his service to take the lead, and, with "H. D." losing his service, the visitors went further ahead. Aragon took his service to make the score 5-2. "S. A.," however, made a great effort and took his service, but, with Gordon Lum serving well, the visitors went out at 6-3.

FOOT FAULTING.
Gordon Lum Defends Himself.
As there seems to be an impres sion that Gordon Lum footfaults every time, or almost every time he serves, a China Mail representative interviewed him after the match and asked what he thought of the matter.
"Well," he answered, "I have had the opinions of the best judges on that point, both in Australia and America, but all that has been sald') of me is that my action, when I serve, is exactly like Gerald Pater- 800'8,"
Then, as an after thought, "If anyone thinks I foot fault, let him watch me very closely when I'serve. He will find then that my foot does not go over the baseline until Imme-- diately after the moment of contact between the ball and my racquet. Mr. Lum expressed the hope that he would have a few more games before leaving the Colony,
Doubt of Aragon's Tokyo Visit,
Our representative also saw Francisco Aragon, and when asked what he thought of our courts, the Filipino champion said that they "Graes were very good · indeed, courts are the thing in tennis, that is the grass is good." Back in my home, we play on clay courts and although they are much faster. would rather play on grass every time."
The feature of this game was the dazzling forehand drive which Aragon diaplayed and the clever net play on the part of Lum. "S. A." playing at the not, was unable, to see, let alone touch, the glorious drives down the line by Aragon. Aragon Loses His Service. The visitors opened the second set by taking the first two games and then the miracle happened Aragon lost his service. This surprise, however, did not over- come the visitors, who took the When asked if he was not going to next three games to lead at 5-1.
