In all fairness to "C. A. L." It must be said that he played a very consistent game throughout. and, if he did receive a number of points as the result of faulty play on the part of his opponent, he rose to the occasion in a cool and creditable manner. At times he exploited that match winning stroke of his-the top spin back- hand drive-with most successful results. Sympathies must be ex- temled to E. D. Andrews on ac- count of his unfortunate injury, and it is to be hoped that he will have made a complete recovery before his debut on the Shanghai courts.
In order to allow Andrews } respite before his final doubles mutch C, A. L. Rumjahn played one set with M. W. Lo in a singles match, and won with the loss of only two games.

Tantalising.
In its way, it is a tantalising state of affairs. There is not the slightest reason why anybody should be lacking in proficiency at it. Middle age might reasonably be just as good as youtli at it; a plump physique as good as a slim one. Accurate putting is a quality open to virtually everybody, ir- respective of age. sex, or build; and yet only the few become con- sistent at it.
