Mr. Justice Lindsell's Review Of Past Tennis Season
"Even though 1 may be a voice crying in the wilderness, I still say that the standard of lawn tennis in Hong Kong is lower than it ought to be and is bound to remain so until the younger- generations learn that the real value of the racquet is to hit the ball and bit it hard" commented Mr. Justice R. R. Lindsell, Pre- sident, speaking at the annual meeting of the Hong Kong Lawn Tennis Association held in the Board Room of Messrs. Jardine, Matheson and Company Ltd., yesterday afternoon.

"The outstanding event of last year," said Mr. Lindsell, "was the visit of the famous professionals, Tilden and Vines. Our players can and should learn an by watching enormous amount such players in action. They can learn the meaning of going out to be winners instead of turning on the ball and waiting for their op- ponents to make a mistake."

In the course at his review of the year's activities, "the Chairman congratulated the winners of the various League championships and. sald
that their congratulations were particularly due to the Tsul brothers, who. Uke Öxford Uni- versity boat race crew, had broken a long spell and dethroned the radiant champions, H.D. and S. A. Rumjahn.

It is reported, although there is no confirmation, that the tribesmen who were three hun-" dred strong. suffered heavy losses, 18 being killed and 15 severely wounded.
THE ATTACK WAS ONE OF THE SEVEREST LAUNCHED SO FAR AND LASTED FOR FULLY FIVE HOURSÄFTER THE TRIBESMEN HAD WORKED THROUGH THE PICKET LINES AND CONCENTRATED A DESPERATE ASSAULT ON THE CAMP.
Professor Otto Schmidt, famous Russian explorer, of "Tjeljuskla Expedition" fame, is planning a new air expedition to the North
Pole.
After initial sniping, the tribes- men attacked the picket lines one of which suffered nine casualties out of a total of fourteen, but the remaining five heroically held out all night long against heavy enemy rumbers.

The tribesmen, aided by the darkness, worked through the picket lines to within fifty or sixty
| yards of the perimeter of the camp, but this was as far as they could get as a severe skirmish ensued 'ánd in the end they were driven back by t
of the troops. All Ingallsded by the Second

The Fourth Extra Race Meeting, which was postponed from last week as a mark of respect " to the late Mr. S. Y. Liang, will be held to-morrow, the first race being timed to start at 2 pm. The additional week has resulted in several of the potential candidates being brought nearer top condi- tion and I have no doubt that this may occasion a surprise or two during the afternoon's sport.
