SWEEPING CHANGES IN RUNNING OF TENNIS LEAGUE A MATTER OF NECESSITY Says "ARGONAUT"
Sweeping changes in the running of the Inter-club Tennis league should now be a matter not of choice but of necessity for the Hongkong Lawn Tennis Association if these compotitions are to serve their purpose, may that be of social intercourse, friendly rivalry or promotion of the standard of the game.
The 1952 League season, although scheduled to end on September 15, is with the exception of a spate of postponed matches, practically over.
As in preceding years the League titles have remained the monopoly, of two club, Chinese Recreation Club and South China Athletic Association, with Club de Recrcio and Craigengower Cricket Club taking the only two outside honours in the Ladies' "B" Doubles and Mixed Doubles "B" "Division.
