NEW RACE CLUB AT SHANGHAI,
AN INTERESTING EXPERIMENT BY
CHINESE SPORTSMEN.
LOCAL SPORT,
LAWN TENNIS.
H. D. RUMJAHN DEFEATED.
of the many matches played of yester- day afternoon on the Hongkong Cricket Club, ground, the most interesting, was that between H. Lo and H. D. Ramjahn in the second round of the Open Singles, which ended in a win for the former by three straight sets. The result was most astonishing, and among those who were present the greatest surprise was CX- pressed, which reflects great, credit to
There, were very few even amongst the best-informed racing men who had any previous knowledge of the formation of the, Chinese Jockey Club; the inaugura tion of which was publicly announced last Sunday, says the Y.-C. Daily News, A better choice of title might have been made, because probably the majority of racing people still are hoping for the day when all the race courses in China, and Hongkong will come, under one central controlling body, the obvious name for which would be the China Jockey Clubf and it would be very confusing to have young Lo who played very well and con- both a China Jackey Club and a Chinese sistingly throughout the match. Jockey Club. However, the former as yet is but a dream, whilst the latter is an accomplished fast.
The history of the new race course up to the moment has been nothing but tragedy and one scarcely can keep count of the number of proprietary bodies and tenant clubs that have been formed in connection with it but have died in in- fancy, either because, their parents did not know how to feed them, or because they could not survive the moral effect)
It is particularly interesting to note that Rumjahn had in previous seasons met and defeated young Lo's elder bro- thers M. W. and M. K., who were in better form than new, and who are still considered better than H. Lo.
The standard of play was quite good and the games in all three sets were very close, being 6-4 6-4: 7-5, but the Chinese player held the advantage throughout,

ONE DOWN, ANOTHER UP. The Far Eastern Recreation Club, who are the owners of the rare course and buildings, have no ambitions in the way of running regular, race meetings and so when the Yangtszepoc Race Club drop- ped out the course was derelict. Once large tract of land has been turned into a race course it is not much use for any other purpose without extensive and ex- pensive alterations, and it was the general opinion that it must either run to waste or be taken over by some other racing concern. Many were perturbed lest some not too scrupulous people should secure possession and, with the sole idea of making money, run races of a kind that would bring the sport into disrepute.
Fortunately, the Chinese Jockey Club has stepped in and, though there will be prophets of failure, there will be none to venture a suggestion that racing under the auspices of this club will not be "straight," for practically all the leading Chinese jockeys at Kinngwan (including Mr. Lou, Mr Wm. Hu and Mr. L. F. Soong) and most the owners (including Mr. T. U. Yih as Honorary President. Mr. J. H. Tam as Chairraan, Mr. Edward Sheng, Mr. K. D. Son, Mr. S. F. Yih, Mr. U. 1. Ho and Mr. Chang Nieh Yun) are actively interested. Their association with the venture alone is Arst-class gu
rantee.
