After a comprehensive study of the draw for the Singles event I have come to the conclu- W. Lo sion that H. D. Rumjahn, Lai Kwong-tsun, Lee. w. Leonard Wai-tong and S. A. Rumjahn, the holder, will be A L. Sullivan the likely semi-finalists. Lai will be faced with M. Drysdale the sternest opposition-M. W. Lo, a former champion, J. W. Leonard and E. C Fincher. C. Fincher while Lee will have to overcome Tsui Wai-pui, a former champion.
Wong Fuk-nam
A. Crawford
Lt. Phillimore Capt. Cracy. In the Doubles event I expect to see L. Goldman and T. A.
Lee Eus-ugak Pearce enter the Semi-Final Round at the expense of E CAPP. Guest Fincher and W. C. Hung, while Lai Kwong-tsun and Paul Kong should have no difficulty in disposing of A. V. Gosano and A. V.B. Owen Hughes Remedios in the quarter-finals. Lee Wai-tong and Luk Ding-Ma Nai-kwong cheong, the C.R.C. doubles champions, look good in the third
F. R. Zimmerni quarter, while H. D. and S. A. Rumjahn, holders of the title for
Lee Wai-tong the last 11 years, should secure an easy entry into the Semi- Final Round.
the S. A. Rumjaha, abore, Colony lawn tennis singles cham- pion, is expected to retain his title during the present cham- pionship series, which com MEDCOR this afternoo

who should reach the last four, despite Teddy Fincher's challenge, will meet Y. Hachiuma, the leading Japanese A. Wan player, this afternoon. Hachiuma H. Y. Ho has undoubtedly improved since! Tsui Wai-pui his appearance in last year's cham-1, M. A. Razack pionships, but I do not think he is
capable of beating the Canton Firdos Khan champion. Lai's best shot is his S. W. Liang powerful forehand drive and its. A. Gray will take a better equipped player Capt. Walch than the nippy Hachiuma to re- turn this shot to advantage.
