TSUI WAI - PUI RETAINS COLONY SINGLES TITLE AGAINST BROTHER
FINE GAME BUT LOSER PLAYED CHAMPION JUST TOO GOOD

REMOVING ANY VESTIGE OF DOUBT THERE MIGHT HAVE BEEN THAT HE IS A CLASS BY HIM- SELF IN THE LOCAL TENNIS WORLD, Tsuł Wal-pui. Chinese, Davis Cup player, beat his brother Tsui Yun- pul on the Stand Court of the Hongkong Cricket Club ground yesterday to retain the singles title. Though the match went the full distance, and the champion lost the first set, he was playing the better tennis for three-fourths of the game and at no time looked like being deposed,
Yun-pul gave a very fine display and on that form would most certainly have beaten any other player in the Colony. It was his misfortune that he was up against a man who was just that bit faster and better that makes all the difference.
It was not his poor play that prevented him winning the title at the first time of challenging. It was simply "that his brother has no peer, or indeed equal, on the local courts..
