Results in the League Matches.
Four matches were played in the Tennis League on Saturday with some very interesting re sults. The European Y.M.C.A. opened their season rather diens- trously, going down to the Chinese Recreation Club by 51 games to 48. Kempthorne and Haigh proved the weak spot in the team, scoring only six games out of a possible 33 and losing all thres sets. The Olympie snatched victory from Craigengower by the Darrow margin of one game, while the Civil Service, with a strong team beat the Wigwam club by the easy lead of 20 games Kow loon beat the Chinese Y.M.C.A. rather easily, winning by 73 games
to 20...
As a result the positions of the various clubs in the league are as follow.
