LOCH AND TOMLINSON FAIL TO HOLD LEAD
G. CHOA'S FINE VICTORY
(By "REFEREE”
The Colony Hard Court Tennis Championships continued yesterday on the USRC. Courts at King's Park, when some very good matches were witnessed, H. D. and S. A. Rumjahn, the Colony Grass- court champions, being taken to three sets by Capt. Loch and Eient. Tomlinson before the former pair succeeded. This was about the best match of the afternoon, Loch being the outstanding player and carrying his partner for the majority of the game.
A L. Sullivan, much fancied U.S.R.C. contender for the Singles title, had no difficulty in disposing of S. A. Gray, winning in straight sets, but S. W. Liang and his doub les partner F. K Kwok were fea- tured in a marathon struggle over three sets, which the latter won.

I think, however, that the Portu- guese team will beat Kowloon Dock twice. The Hung Hom rinks have no further interest in the C. de R. League, at least not as regards the disposition of the honours and the lack of any special incentive to win may well cause them to slack on off.

Only one game, India versus China, in which the former gained an unexpected win over the strong- ly fancied Chinese team, was play- ed in the International Charity Lea- MIRAKAKALMAR gue. By virtue of this win, and be- cause of the inability of securing a ground suitable for baseball, the President of the Hong Kong Base- ball League, Mr. W. C. Muir has suggested that a good gesture would be to cede the Mayo Trophy to the Indian team.
