League season yesterday when the Chinese R.C. holders. beat the K.C.C. "B" by nine sets to nil and the United Services R.C. beat the Kowloon C.C. “A” by 6 sets to 3 in the two Mixed Doubles League encounters.
I was agreeably surprised to see the K.C.C. “A” do as well as they did, but there can be little doubt that the U.S.K.C. will walk away with the title. Mrs, Wilson, Mrs. Kayll and Mrs. Dowling are the leading three lady players in the Colony and that is practically all that needs to be considered.
