SHANGHAI'S LACK OF PRACTICE
The fact that the Shanghai Eleven have had few opportunities of settling down to serious match practice, or even in staging a trial match, owing to the wet conditions prevailing in Shanghai at the time, may play a large part in the meeting with the Hong- kong eleven on Friday next.

The game is being looked forward to keenly by cricket enthusiasts in both ports, there being further interest in this match owing to the position of the relative parts in the Interport, series.

"STARS"
PERSONALITIES TO BE SEEN IN HONGKONG
To the locul player, the acto of tennia doubles play in, in a large measure, to be found in the S. A. and If. D. Rumjahn combination, and this opinion is not without foundation and jus- tification. Champions of Hong- kong since 1925, the cousins have set a standard of play, both in Championship, Interport, ex- hibition and League tonnis, which has been the subject of eulogistic comment by promin- ent visitors, and the delight of local partisans. Their secrot- and it is one they expose every time they appear on the court is a complete understanding, and a thorough knowledge of tactics. They are most dangerous when they have their backs to the wall, for it is then they bring shots into action a barrage of
break which is sufficient to through practically any defence. From the net they are the most deadly players in Hongkong. The cousins have, of course, ted the Indian Recreation Club first League team for a number of years, and more than anybody else, have contributed to the suc cess of the Club in all forms of competitive tennis.
