The Ladies, however, but up a much better performance, Mrs. Tot- tenham's signal victory, in the Singles being not gratifying. The Hong Kong Chinjion has always shown the inatch temperament and in the strange environment of the Majestic Courts at Shanghai she did not lose that fuvaluane quality. in hoe frat inatch, according to a euntemporary's report, she made ure of a left band underhand ser- vice with a cut which at first con tused the Shanghai players, and her game on the back line was ex- cellent. The last sentener of the report is particularly pleas- ag and must have been the con- census of opinion of her play. Partnered by Lady Stuart Taylor she engaged Mrs. Stafford Smith and Mme.
Haute in the
doubles. In some quarters Mrs. Tottenham was regarded as the best player of all in the matter of strokes and placing. In the Singles in which she Beat Mrs. Stafford Smith she depended on sound base- line tacties, consistently driving. deep to her opponents' court and interspersing her drives with lively placing that kept her opponent on the fun.
The otheis also made à favour able impression. Miss Enid Lo, who is described as one of the most promising of the Hong Kong younger players, is reported to have a delightful style with a great variety of strokes and to have a fine overhead arvice. She still needs more match experience, as in her initial "match against airs. Fischer she "seemed to sacrifice accuracy for pace, which proved her downfall. She is indeed a promising young player and more will probably be heard of her in the future. Mra Miles who woat up as Hong Kong's No. 3 in Singles did not catch her opponent's game quickly as an account stabes." It appeared that the Hong Kong lady persisted in the error of playing to Mrs. Haute's backhand and proved her undoing, for the Shang- hai player reveals no weakness in the particular atroke, in fact it is her chief forte." Lady Stuart Taylor who is essentially & doubles player, la received favourable

SAD ENDING TO A GOOD MATCH.
OUR CORRESPONDENT'S IMPRESSION OF THE CRICKET INTERPORT.
"CHANGING FORTUNES OF THE GAME.
Our special correspondent, "L Everet," actids us the following account of the critical stage of the Hong Kong-Shanghai Cricket Interport-that second day, when Hong Kong tall brilliantly topped the home team's first innings score-when Shafighti collapsed, re- covered and then collapsed again. Donald Leach and Dr. O'Hara piled up a bugo score and on the final day Hong Kong were all cut, on the difficult erumbling cricket, for 109 runs, "A sad ending to a good match!"
