Taking the whole of the first set to find his 10 Everton touch, Tsui Wai-pui, Colony tennis champion, then delighted his supporters with as brilliant a display as he has ever given here, to beat H. D. Rumjahn on the Stand Court yesterday afternoon.
This match, a repeat of last] year's final, drew the largest crowd of spectators yet seen at the Cricket Club this year.
On an adjoining court, where Ho Ka-lau was playing S. W. Liang, and where a good game could be expected, there were not more than half-a-dozen people all told, including the players them- selves!
"H.D.," while he was fresh, de- lighted the gallery from the start. He wasted no time in getting down to business and struck a length right away. Driving accurately on both hands, he had Tsui running all over the court.
His service was accurate and I have never seen Tsui receive service so in- effectively. For that matter, I have never seen him play worse than he did in that first set.

Winning five games in a row, Tsui went rapidly to -1. And then, from the way he played the next two games. his idea appeared to be to keep the se going as long as possible in order to (1.6) or W. Wooding (scr.) (2); A. H. J. Armstrong (-15) v. T. J. Price ensure a tired Rumfahn for the final.

Taul then decided that the set had been prolonged enough and went out with a series of dazzling strokes.
In the final set, Rumjahn was ob viously tired and, to use an American ism, Taul turned on the heat! He sim ply toyed with his wearied opponent His ground-strokes worked with amaz ing precision, while just by way of a change, he demonstrated how complete ly he is master of the drop-shot.
