On Sunday, 21st inst. teanis players aspiring to represent the Kowloon Cricket Club in the tennis league will have a chance to prove their worth. A tournament is being held to choose the three teams, and as there are, a big number of play- ers desiring to turn out for the premier Club in the Peninsula, quite a number of matches will be played.
