RUMJAHNS AGAIN CHAMPIONS.
WIN DOUBLES FOR SIXTH YEAR,
Playing masterly tennis, the Rumjahn cousins added to their fine record of successes yesterday, by winning, for the sixth year in succession, the Colony's Open Doubles Championship.
Their victims on this occasion were Kong, Too-cheurg and Ho Ka-lau, who, although fightin pluckily, could never rise to the same heights as their brilliant opponents, who, as a result, had the satisfaction of winning in "three straights" sets.
The tennis, for the major part of the match, was excellent, the winners in particular delighting with some very fine all-court
work. Keng and Ho, although over-shadowed, gave glimpses of their real form, and made bold efforts to retrieve a poor start, Their second-set fight was well worth seeing, when the exchanges were fast and exciting,
As was expected, the Rumjahns were vastly superior as a combina. tion, and all their movements were carried out in perfect harmony. Their definite line of attack carried them a long way towards their victory, and with both accomplishing some fine individual work whenever required, they were bound to remain in the ascendency."
LAWN TENNIS MATTERS.
QUESTION OF FINANCES DISCUSSED.
Financial-nustters and means of raising money came in for discussion at the annual general meeting of members of the Hongkong Lawn Tennis Association, which was hold at the Hongkong Cricket Club pavilion yesterday evening, under the chair- manship of Mr. M. K. Lo.
The chairman put forward several suggestions to the meeting pointing out that the Association ought to be provided with money. At the ma- ment he said, they had nothing at all, the balance being only $3.07. Ja the case of a good player passing through, they were always faced with the same old trouble--that of finding money for the expenses of exhibition games..
Affiliation fees and increased sub- scriptions for teams entered in the League were discussed and it was should be called upon to pay an eventually decided that each club affiliation fee of $20 a year to the Association and, further, that $10 for each team should be paid as league: entrance money, as usual.
the method of scoring as used during The meeting further decided that the past year should be continued one point for each match won. Saturday, May 8, was fixed as the date for the opening of league matches,
Another matter decided upon by the meeting was a new composition of the General Committee, this being that each club should have one repre- sentative on the committee, the re- presentatives to be selected by the It was rather unfortunate that respective clubs, and in addition, Kong was unable to effect his non-representatives not exceeding five.. ground strokes with consistent ac Forms were handed out for clubs.to curacy, for when he did succeed enter the names of their representa- in bringing them off, they generally tives, and the following were appoint- caused the Rumjahns a little ed as non-representatives.--Messrs. trouble.

The chairman said he had a note quently reaped the benefit of them From the outset, the cousins took the initative, and, forcing mat- ters with some attractive play, quickly ran away with the first set to love. Throughout these six games, the losers were all disjoint ed and trying hard to settle down to a normal game.
Their winning of the second game in the next set provided the necessary stimulant, and acquiring confidence and improving their tactics, they took a lead of 3-1. It was shortlived, but they persisted in their attempts, and were actually at set-point, but again the Rum- jahns recovered, and gathering their forces, broke through to win the set at 7-5. It was exhilarating tennis.

Mr. Lo suggested that the matter be left to the incoming com- mittee, and this was agreed to.
The meeting closed with expres- sons of thanks to Mr. H. R. B. Hancock and Mr. D. S. Green for the. hard work they had put in during the past season.
