FINCHER BROTHERS BEATEN AFTER GOOD TUSSLE.
ނ
The feature of yesterday's tennis [By "Rambler."], matches on the H.K.C.C. ground was the defeat of Fincher brothers Everything is in readiness for at the hands of H. R. B. Hancock the next meeting of the Inter-and Dr. R. E. Tottenham, by three pational Race and Recreation sets to one, in the third round of Club, which will take place at the Colony's Open Doubles Cham- Macao next Sunday,
The programme is an interest- ing one and comprises eight races. There are 26 entries for the first race, 15 for the second, 27 for the third, 17 for the fourth, 21 for the fifth, 22 for the sixth, 17 for the seventh, and 63 for the eighth." ·
Altogether there are 19 pontes from Hongkong and although they do not represent our cracks, some of them may be depended upon to score at the meeting.
The fast and comfortable 8.8. Taishan will leave the Hongkong Wharf at 8.30 a.m. and I would impress upon my readers the in- portance of booking their accom- modation early as, there is sure to be a record booking for this trip. Training, although not over fast, should be suficient to give supporters an indication of the possible chances of the ponies, and providing they run to form there should be no doubt about the ultimate result.
The grass course is in excellent condition at the moment, which with the advent of the Hongkong ponles should tend to enable the contestants to improve upon exist ing records.
Punters may possibly glean a little knowledge by a careful perusal of the following times which I have just received:

plonship.
The elder couple played a much more patient game than the Fin- chers who at times were inclined to be too enterprising. Of the win ning pair, Hancock was in great form, his powerful play from base line often turning the tables on their opponents.
Opening steadily the Finchers' obtained the first game and then conceded the next. They proceeded in this way until 3-3 was called when wild playing on the part of E. F. Fincher permitted Han- cock and Tottenham to break through and win the first set at 6-3,
In the second set, Harcock and Tottenham appeared to have things pretty much their own way, when the Finchers, after being down 3-0, began to change their tactics and forced the pace. They won the fourth game and did not concede the act until they had captured three more games.
The third set saw the Finchers on the aggressive and visits to the net were frequent. They captured the set at 6-1, but it must not be inferred from the score that they showed such overwhelming superi- ority. In fact on no fewer than nine occasions "douce was called.
The fourth set proved extremely exciting and although Hancock were standing and Tottenham at 3-0 at the commencement the
Finchers secured four of the next five games, bringing the score to 44. They were level also at 5-5 and 6-6. Then Hancock and his partner took the lead at 7-6 and were within one point of winning
when Tottenham erred in an effort to smash. The Finchers equalised and in turn led at 8-7. The pairs each won their service game until 5-9 was called when the pace be- gan to tell on the Finchers and they lost the next two games.
In the Club Championship S. E. Green has gone a further slage in the elimination by defeating G. W. Sowell in four sets. Mr. and Mrs. Sayer advanced in the Mixed Doubles by defeating A. H. Crook and Miss Wentworth, and in the Handicap Singles T. G. Bennett (rec. 1/6) beat C. H. Bradley (minus 1/6).
