CHOA PLAYS LIKE VETERAN TO EXTEND TSUI WAI-PUI Big Threat To Ex-Champion In Second Set Thrilling Tennis On Stand Court

ON STAND COURT OF HONG KONG CRICKET CLUB YESTERDAY IN THE COLONY SINGLES TENNIS EVENT, TSUI WAI-PUI, FORMER HOLD- ER, BEAT GEORGE CHOA 4-6, 6-4, 6-2.
From the scores and from a knowledge of Tsui's game, one would assume that the C.R.C. player had been kind to the youthful Choa, but there was far more to it than just that. I have little doubt that when the match started Tsui was inclined to be kind

K.C.C. RETAINS SENIOR
CRICKET TITLE: SAME
TEAM PLAYED IN ALL 5 LEAGUE ENGAGEMENTS
By "Adrem"
THERE HAVE BEEN so many interruptions to the cricket season just concluding that the decisive inatch played on Saturday by Kowloon Cricket Club, which gave them the senior championship, did not arouse the interest that might have been forthcom- ing had things been more normal.
In consequence the Kowloon Club's success, without in any way meaning to belittle their efforts, was rather on the hollow side.
