RUMJAHNS WIN DOUBLES GAME.
ARAGON'S RECOVERY IN SINGLES TIE.
The Rumjaha cousins on Satur- day added yet another creditable win to their long list of victories when they met and defeated Fran- cisco Aragon (the Filipino cham pion) and Teddy" Fincher in za exhibition game
on the Kowloon Cricket Club Courts. The game was scheduled to start at 4 p.m. but owing to the late arrival of the Filipino player, it was delayed con. siderably, and after the knock-upa and the usual preliminaries, it even- tually started some 45 minutes after the scheduled time.
Local Men Take First Set. Fincher set the ball a-rolling and took the first game easily, as the Indians were hitting wildly. They, however, won the next game, led at 3-2, and from that point never looked back, taking the set fortably at 6-2
Very much the same thing hap- pened in the second set, but this time it went to ten games before the local pair claimed it.
The standard of play was high throughout, but Aragon appeared to be off colour, mistiming the ball an 'several occasions, and gave the impression that he was somewhat That powerful forehand Atale. drive which delighted the fans when he was last here was not so much in evidence; he was often caught with the wrong foot forward, azd his service was..compared with his last exhibition on the local courts, poor.
"
The three local lads all played sterling tennis, and time and again, each won rounds of applause with well-placed shots, whilst at volley- ing the Rumjahas always came out top dogs. The final scores in favour of the Rumjahns were: 6.2, 8-4.
Aragon. Honda, The doubles match was followed by a singles game between the visi. tor and the Colony's champion, T. Honda, who, giving a wonderful display, literally ran Aragon off his feet in the first set and claimed it at 6-4.
In the second stanza, however, the Filipino made & marvellous re covery, and placing. driving and smashing almost at will, he took this set after only conceding one game."
Having found his form, there was nothing to hold him back and the visitor repented his performance in the previous set, taking this one also at 6-1 to make the final scores 4-6, 61 and 6-1.

Three young men from the British steamer Diomed of the Blue Funnel Line recently reached the top of Mt. Fuji in their first attempt at mountain elimbing, reports the Japan Advertiser. Messts. Law, 93 Craig and Oliver left the steamer at Yokohama at 9 o'clock on the night of Saturday, May 17, went. to Gotemba and between 1 and 2 o'clock the following morning began the ascent, reaching the summit "at 4 o'clock on Sunday afternoon. The last 500 feet they crawled on hands and knees. They found the climb- ing warm except at the top, where they went through snow and ice. They did not have any special equip. ment, climbing in their ordinary. shoes, Coming down the famous mountain took them two and a half hours." They returned to the steamer at midnight of the same day, but not until they were forced to walk seven miles from the foot of the mountain to the nearest town, as they had failed to arrange for an automobile to meet them after the descent.

"A boy from the Tuan village let a cow wander into the fields of the Yeh village. The cow was csized and held as hostage. The Yuans went to fetch it home and the Yehs i used force in repelling the attempt. A fght ensued and neighbours in- tervened. It was finally arranged that the cow should be returned," and the Yuans should give the Yeha a feast the next day.
