SOMETHING in the way of a sensation was created by the Inter- -port Selection Committee on Saturday evening, when, following the final Trial, they announced the composition of the Hongkong Xi to meet Shanghai on Thursday. It included three forwards who had not appeared in trials, and Lau Mau was brought in for S. Strange at left back.
The team is:

Backs: Allen (R.A.) and Lau Mau (South China).
Half-backs: Le ung Wing-chui (South China), Pardoe (RA),

THE draw for the Hongkong Open Tennis Champion- ships, which begin early next month, contains quite
a number of interesting and unusual features, particular- ly in the singles, where, in the top half is found S. A, Rumjahn (holder), E. C. Fincher, Tsui Wai-pui, H. D. Rumjahn, Ho Ka-lau, J. W. Leonard, and Tsui Yun-pui. AN analysis of the pairings is given below by "Veritas."
There is a distinct possibility this year of seeing two entirely new names in the final of the Open Singles, for the draw, al though seeded, has, by a curious twist of chance, resulted in the principal contenders being bracket- ed together in the top half.
