Opening League Matches Should Provide Good Tussles H.K.C.C. Expected To Extend Champions
RECREIO'S STRENGTH; WELL-BALANCED TEAM

By "Adrem"
ITH the prolonged week-end we have just had, it has not been possible to obtain all the selections for to-day's opening League tennis matches but from such knowledge of the teams as is available, it is fairly certain that there will 'be some excellent games.
In an article on “B” Division prospects last week, I was unable to discuss the Hong Kong Cricket Club team for the simple reason that I had no idea what it would be. It is now to hand, and an impressive line-up it is!
South China, despite their fine record of last season and the fact that they have much the same players, will have H. K. C. C. as their first op- ponents and, if they win this after- noon, they will definitely have to be considered a power in the land.
Number one pair for Club will be that seasoned combination of T. J.
Gould and T. C. Monaghan. This pair
met with considerable
success. last
season and if they continue to play together in the "B" they should prove one of the most difficult pairs in this division to beat.
MONAGHAN FOR SENIORS?
The Valley team points from Indian

MUCH EXPECTED OF GROSE AND ANDERSON
Civil Service, with two pairs in the Agafuroff brothers and Bendall and Skinner, are expected to do well against K. C. C., who finished in the first three last year,

RECREIO'S
STRENGTH
Recreio have out an extremely use- ful-looking side and in view of their line-up for to-day, they must also be considered for the championship, ⚫Oliveira and Reed should be just the stolid types of players who are most -difficult to beat over a single set, while Bertie Gosano and Albert Rodrigues are another pair with a lot of experience behind.
On paper L. A. Carvalho and F. J. Remedios are well up to the standard of the other two pairs, but it must be remembered that the latter has been out of the game for the best part of -two years and his form. this after-
noon will be problematical.
K.C.C. TENNIS PRACTICE
