Team From Macao Entertained
LOCALS WIN, EASILY
The tennis game arranged de tween team of players from Macao and the Kowloon Cricket Club took place on the KC.C. courts yesterday and was won by the K.C.C. by points to 11. The arrangement was for each pair to play every other pair best out of three sets and thus the game did not finish till-dark but an enjoyable afternoon's tennis was had by all.
The local players, as the scores Indicate, were too good for their guests. The visitors are a young team and they have some promis ing players but at present they are somewhat inexperienced and prone to hit out at the wrong ball.
They were very weak in their ground shots but made up by re- Hable overheard work. In service practically the whole team specia- ised in the chop variety but this did not pay them. Jose Boyol had a fast first service but seldom got it right and his second was of, little" account.
