'Kwong, `though defeated they ac- quitted themselves creditably. In spite of the fact that the players were badly handicapped by the strong wind, which was prejudicial to the display of spectacular tennis, which the players are capable of exhibiting, the game on the whole was very interesting and pune- tuated by. many fast rallies, fast forehand drives of Lum and pretty not play of Ng Sze Kwong, which drew forth applause from the spec- tators.

The games in the first set were very evenly contested, but after the score stood at 4 áll, the Chinese Champions began to 45- sert their superiority and won the next two games.
The second and third sets were a repetition of the first.
On the second day of the nine- game series against the Olympic Champions, Tientsin lost two more matches-Ng Sze-kwong defeated D. Rumjahn, 6-3, 2-6, 6-1, while S. G. Lum and Paul Kong won from Sakai and Ichinose, 6-0, 6-1.
Ng played a beautiful game at the commencement of hostilities and secured a lead of 5-2 to win the first set, 6-3. Rumjahn start- ed his bombardment in the second set winning it brilliantly and allowing his adversary but two games. Ng led in the final set until 4-2, when Rumjahn equalised, 4 all. Tientsinners then grew excited over the prospects of the local player winning but Ng took the final two games after several deuces had been called. .
Ng's average shots have lost a lot of their old-time sting, but he still retains his spectacular place ments. Yesterday, he had Rumjann hopelessly beaten several times when he passed him down the sidelines and when he aced the ball from the net sharply to one side. Also, on two or three occasions, when Rumjahn was up the net and waiting for a drive, he lobbed the ball far back to the baseline, out of Rumjahn's reach. Rurajaha played one of his best games this season, and at times he was not to be denied.. When he
found his cuts not doing much damage, he ventured farther up the court and began scoring. All went well for sometime, but Ny soon caught on to his game and put a stop.to Rumjahn's surprise attacks. at the net.
The Doubles.
The doubles was an easy victory for Lum and Kong, 6-0, 6-1. Sakai had the mortification of seeing his beautiful lobs killed time after time by both Lum and Kong, while Ichinose found his shots too "easy meat" for his snappy opponents at the net. The Japanese pair were nearly always outclassed, but they won some nice rallies with brilliant play, for which they were cheered by their fellow townsmen. They gave spirited resistance throughout, but both seemed im- mensely relieved after the last point was played.
