There was several major upsets in the "A Division of the Lawn Tennis League yesterday, Recreio easily trouncing the Indian Recreation Club at Sookunpoo, while the University beat South China at home. The holders of the “A” Division, the Chinese Recrea- tion Club, won their clash against the United Services Recreation Club, but failed to take a set off the losers' first string.

were played, the Portuguese taking five of the six sets comfortably, and on current form look like succeed- ing the Chinese. R.C. as

TO-DAY'S PROGRAMME
The remaining matches. should RECREIO FOR TITLE -
result in one-sided victories: for Recreio's pairs were rarely in Craigengower C. C., K. C. C. and difficulties, A. V. Remedios and J. Club de Recreio. Gonsalves being their best partner- ship and sweeping all before them.C.C.C. It very much looks as if Recreio, S.C.A.A. K.C.C. and C.R.C will fight it out for the title and with Lee Wai-tong out of the Chinese team, he left the Colony with the South China footballers--the indications point to a Recreio victory.
L. Goldman and A. L. Sullivan proved too formidable a partner- ship for the Chinese Recreation Club and secured a set against all three of the visiting pairs. The Chinese, who are without Tsui Wai-puí, also missed the services of Lee Wai- tong, Tsoi Ping-fan being promoted from the "B" Division to fill the
vacancy.
In the other matches, K.C.C. were too good for the Hong Kong Cricket Club, winning by 7 matches to 2 at Chater Road, while the Under- graduates dealt similarly with South China at Pokfulam.
