THE CHINA MAIL" TUESDAY,
SEIXAS AND DORIS HART
WIN THE SINGLES TITLES AT FOREST HILLS
Forest Hills, New York, Sept. 6.
Smooth-stroking Vic Seixas and hard-luck Miss Doris Hart today won the men's and women's singles titles in the U.S. Amateur Tennis Championships.
Seixas, a 81-year-old Philadelphian playing in the Nationals for the 14th time and in the finals for the second straight year, battled back to defeat Australian Rex Hartwig, 3-6, 6-2, 6-4, 6-4.
And Miss Hart reached the end of the tennis rainbow when, after five previous heart-breaking trips to the finals, she finally proved her class and her courage by fighting off three match points to defeat Miss Louise Brough of Beverly Hills, Cali- formla, 6-1, 6-8, 8-6.

COUNCIL MEETING
A challenge to the Council Members present to deny the fact that there was open bargaining for the services of Hongkong football players for the coming season's play by local clubs, went unanswered at the Hongkong Football Association Council Meeting yesterday.
Better Football Already -But Slow Handclaps Are Doing No Good
Says TOM FINNEY
It shouldn't come from a player, perhaps, but I'm bold enough this week to suggest that football IS better this season-already. The tremen- dous effort almost everywhere, that's gone into combining the best of the new ideas with the best of the old is beginning already to produce results.
I feel that Preston are certainly, n better team, and playing better football - than before; and experienced tjudges of the game have been telling me about the exhilarating displays of the Wolves, Manchester United; Everton, Birmingham City, Fulham and other teams in all divisions. I can speak of Everton from first-hand -experience. They beat us by a goal to nil at Goodison Park.
