A weakened Club sido defeated the Radio Spurs, VIDE goats when the teams met at King's Park yesterday. The game was fast and interesting and the oxchanges evenly distributed.
The Club were without the services of H. W. Lee, J. Hodger, A. A. Danu and Owen Hughes, and Noronha was included at back, Tetley at right half, W. A. Reed playing on the left.
The Club played with a new com- bination in the first half, but their forwards were not at home with the changes in position and could not get going at all. The Radio pressed on Reveral occasions but the Club de fence WES Food, Tetley, in particular, playing well.
in the second half the Club for wards asumed their usual position Divett taking up the centre-forward position, C. c. Francis the inside
and Williams the inside left, The change had an immediate effect. for within five minutes of the re-start Francia opened the scoring. Divett added the second few seconds later and before the end Williams scored the third. In the intor stages of the game the Radio wore completely out- classed.
SECOND WIN.
The Kowloon Indians Tennis Club Rained their second win in the Mamak tournament yesterday when they do. fented the Tamar team in a closciv contested game by two goals to nij Both goals for the Indians were net! Led by Mr. Shasi.
By reason of their win yesterday the K.I.T.C. bettered their nosition in the league table by six places.

LEAGUE TABLE.
PROMISE OF YOUNG HANOI PLAYER Possible Conqueror of Yew Man Kit and Goldman
CLEVER DISPLAY BY IU TAK CHEUK
(By "Veritas").
YESTERDAY'S championship tennis produced a discovery". He is Tam Yoc-fang, who not only proved himself to be a real tennis player, but is, I have since learnt, an ex-finalist
of the Hanoi championship.
THE appearance of this young player has added tremendous interest and impetus to the third quar- ter of the open singles, and unusually fine games are promised in the second and third rounds.
Tam, who yesterday wiped, out; C. E. Abbas to the tune of 6-1, 6-1, has how to meet Yew Man-kit, and if successful (as I anticipato), will encounter "Lolly" Goldman for right of entry into the quarter finals.
AR Goldman has yet to overcome K. I. Wong, the conqueror of Luk Ding- Jeong, his path to victory in not go ing to be one of milk and honey.
ABBAS "MURDERED”.
Now that Commander Packer han, apparently, been scratched, I can se nothing to stop lu from entering the last eight. By the same token I should be surprised to see him go any further, for the simple reason that ha tennia is not sumciently aggressive against players such as Lal Kwong-sun, or J. A. Cassamb hoy, either of whom he may yat encounter.'
