THERE is to be no Hardcourt Tennis Championship of Hong- kong—at least, not yet.
The proposed championship, mooted by Major Lochner of the United Services Recreation Club, to have taken place during the ▶ coming Chinese New Year has been temporarily abandoned, owing to on insufficient number of hardcourts at the U.S.R.C., being at present in fit condițion for use.
Nevertheless, it is the inter- tion of the organisers of the suggested hardcourt champion. ship, to put their scheme into effect sometime during 1933, probably in either April or May.

In view of this the New Year tournament has been abandoned." TO BE HELD THIS YEAR.
But it is still the Intention of the organisers to put such a championship into effect during this year, and, according to Major Lockner yesterday, there was very little doubt that this would be accomplished.
He considers it likely that the remaining two courts, which are now in course of proparation, will be ready for use in the spring, and that a hardcourt championship may be run either in April or May. This, he said, was the most suit- able time of the year for hard- court tennis.
There is, of course, the addi tional point that it would act as a splendid tonie during the Inactive poriod of local tennis between the grass court championships and the League season.
HARDCOURT LEAGUE,
There has never yet been an open hardcourt tournament in Hongkong, although in 1918, Dr. Forsyth, the then President of the Hongkong Lawn Tennis League, offered a trophy for a hardcourt league competition, which was competed for until 1921, when, owing to the scarcity of courts, the competition was abandoned.
