Outstanding amongst these was the fine win scored by the Lo Brothers--M. K. and M. W.-who may claim to be the oldest part- nership in the tournament, over D. 5. Leung and B. Szeto by scores of 6-1, 6-0.

BOUNCE-UP OR FREE-KICK?
When players enter the field while the ball is in play and without the permission of the official in charge, the correct manner for him to restart the game is by dropping the ban It is now understced, however, that in Saturday's mätch, Cor- inthians versus Civilians, the referee had awarded the free- kick in question for some other offence. Then
that noting players had entered the field without his permission the official picked up the ball and explained that conduct was such as te warrant a caution.

The referee did the right thing in pulling up the player, Brad- bury, who ran on the fleld late.

EXHIBITIONTM
Szabados And Kelen To Clash
(BY F. MELA)
Szabados and Kelen. the two Hungarian and world table tennis stars, will be seen at all perfor- mances at the King's Theatre on Wednesday and Thursday. They will be pitted against each other and local followers of the game will be able to judge for them- selves the real standard of these two players.
Both players have been scen against some of the lending local players during the week and in- cidentally both of them have been beaten.
In a conversation with Szabados yesterday. I learned that they found the lighting very poor and the fact that the edges of the tables on which they had to play were not lined white afected their style somewhat....
Kelen told me that he was sur- prised to find that the standard! or table tennis was so high in Hong Kong. The players here are better than those they met in Aus- tralia but he could not speak of the lady players as they had not had the opportunity to meet any in Hong Kong.
The two players are going to Macao on Friday and on Saturday they leave for Indo-China and
After South Africa.
