Once again the Chinese and and Indians battled for supremacy in the "B" division of the tennis Jongue and yet once again the former proved a shade better than their friendly rivals.
This match took place at Sopkun- poo and the Chinese started of to take two of the three sets in the Brst round. Here, their No. 1 pair | -K. Lo und C. Chan-who are con sidered by many to be the strongest combination in this division met their Waterloo in A. A. Rumjabn

and J. S. A Curreem. However, they'rinde up for this by winning the remaining sets and by the time the last set was finished the Chinese had claimed six of the nine seta.
Mention must be "made of the good exhibition put up by A, A. Rumjahn and J. S. A. Curreem, who' won all their sets. The standard of play was high throughout and the little rain that fell just before the match must have reduced the Indians' chances of winning for it is a known fact that their players [are never at home on a slippery

In the match at Taikoo, the visitors had a lead of about nine shots at tea time, which dropped at one time to two shots. In the 20th head cach of the players on Gregory's tink placed a wood to count. Wotherspoon made a tac. tical error in driving with both his' woods to save the four, when he might have used his second to try a draw. As it happened, he mlased the jack closely on both occasious, and Gregory was able to take the lead on the four shots, adding an other in the last head. Wother spoon's rink, by the way, met their first defeat of the season. Grimmitt
and Ferguson had a close fight on their risks, and Grimmitt eventually won by five shots, making a total of nine shots in favour of the visitors on the two rinks. At this time Wallace and Brawn had a few heads still to go. The last provided much excitement-Taikoo needing three shots to tie and two woods lying almost hard on the jack when Oswick drew in" between for the second shot. Wallace was placed in a hopeless position, a dead 'draw being the only course to pursue. He made a very good effort which gave him another shot to lose the match by a single,

Kowloon Dock fully extended the champions at the Valley. Brad bury's rink failed for the first time on this occasion against Cullen's team. A seven for Cullen in the 12th head gave him the lead by 15-0, and the home rink caused much anxiety, to their colleagues who finished earlier with 13 shots in their favour between the two rinks. Omar's rink gathered a very useful five in the 19th head which enabled him to finish four shots up. Cullen beat Bradbury, by nine shots, leav ing the champions winners by four shots. Basa's gain, just sufficient to balance Bradbury's loss was & great factor in the victory.

With the prize so near his grasp, Bobby Jones seems to have suffer- ed from an zegte attack of nerve in the afternoon, and I should think it must be many a long day since a 7 has been entered on his card in a competition. In spite of this his soure of 291 is the lowest that has

I hear that one of Hong Kong's leading Scottish American golförs had the temerity to offer odds of 50 to 1 against Jones winning the Open!

Amateur Championship. From all accounts the, Jones e. Tolley match seems to have been an epic struggle. Tolley was hit- ting a colossal bail from the tee, consistently out-driving his oppon ext and keeping them straight.
Twelve thousand spectators fol- lawed the match which took 32 bours, so the inconvenience to the players can easily be imagined.
The 17th was a critical hole. Jones put his second over the green, but the mass of spectators prevented the ball from going onto or over the road and he was able to chip back. Tolley was not on with his second but played a magni- fent third, evading a bunker by three inches and finishing dead. Jones then proceeded to hole an eight-foot putt to remain all square.
At the 19th Tolley failed to get on in and was short "with his putt. Jones was on the same side of the hole as Tolley and his ball failed to drop but left stymie which Tolley could not negotiate.
Tolley's fighting tenacity was ap parent during the whole match and he definitely gave Bobby his hard- est match of the tournament.

At King's Park, Club de Recreio accounted for the Police by 14 shots. A noteworthy feature of this match was that R. F. Luz (the Colony's champion), maintained the unbeaten record on his rink, and half way in the game he scored seven shots in one head. In the match at Kow loon Bowling Green, where their neighbours were beaten by 20 shots, the best play was provided on the Whibley Fraser rink.. Fraser had a slight advantage over his opponent, when the latter scored a five in the 19th head to creep up to a difference of three shots. Whibley took ahead. three later, and the same number of shota marked his fall in the end. Guy and Lammert stood all square after 16 heada with 10 shots each. After that Guy's rink, took two fours, including the last head,.to win by nine shots.
