TENNIS TOURNEY.
EXCELLENT GAMES SEEN YESTERDAY.
of
One of the best displays tennis yet seen in the current tournament was witnessed yester day in the second set of the singles match between S. A. Rumjahn and Cheng Chi-wing, and the large gathering of onlookers followed the exchanges with unabated interest Wi and admiration.
ob-
more than one
It was the one period in the match when both players were seen at their best. Long rallies were finished off on either side by splendidly placed "winners," and in this respect, Cheng was equally as successful as Rumjahn. His pas sing shots were particularly well executed and Rumjahn was viously worried into two minds on occasion. The Indian, however, proved the value and of match-play experience, eventually wore down his opponent to take a lead
of twa acts, and he quickly polished off the match after that by winning the
third at 6-2.
Cheng played a very creditable fighting game, but Rumjahn show. ed that he was still able to extricate himself from awkward positions and to turn unpromising positions into winning points.
