Champions of Hong- kong since 1925, the cousins have set a standard of play, both in Championship, Interport, ex- hibition and
League tennis, which has been the subject of culogistic comment by promin- ent visitors, and the delight of local partisans.

They are most dangerous when they have their backs to the wall, for it is then they bring Into action a barrage of shots which is sufficient to break through practically any defence. From the net they are the most deadly players in Hongkong. The cousins have, of course, led the Indian Recreation Club first League team for a number of years, and more than anybody else, have contributed to the aue- cess of the Chib in all forma of competitive tennis.
