OF THE MOST CONSTRUCTIVE, and, allow ing for certain eventualities, the most practical, ideas put forward on behalf of local tennis, was contained in the tentative suggestion made to the Hongkong Lawn Tennis Association by Mr. Denis Hazell when he gave his broadcast talk on Monday evening.

There is without doubt a great need for the local tennis championships to become more "open" in charac-' ter: not only is new blood required, but it should also, if possible, offer a definitely higher standard of play than is to be found among our present leaders of tennis in Hongkong. To be assured of this it is necessary that the best players from Shanghai, Malaya, Indo-Chine SARAZEN and the Philippines should take part in the champion- ships. Unfortunately the existing stage, were arranged and allowed methods on which the champion-io be played on other

E. D. Andrews, the British International Club player and ex-singles champion of New Zealand, who visited Hong-, kong last year and govo Ex- hibition matches, is returning on another business trip to the Far East this autumn.
He is due to arrive in Hong- kong in early September, and will probably remain in the Colony for some little time. Andrews was so impressed with his first visit, that there la small doubt of him again playing exhibition tennis, al- though he will be dented the opportunity of taking his revenge on C.A.L.
