THERE are those who refuse to acknowledge the standard of Hongkong as being compara- tive to that in England and other countries, but if any such person was present at the Cricket Club ground yesterday he would have seen sufficient to revise this uncompromising attitude.
In one of the finest games seen for a long time, and easily the best of the current championships, S. A. Rumjahn, holder of the singles title beat his cousin, H. D. Rumjahn by two sets to one, the scores reading 3-6, 6-3, 6-4.

A new tunnis star was hailed in the east when Marco Hecht, (above), 18-your-old University of Pennsylvania player, for the third year in succession won the national junior indoor tennis championship in New York. He squaled the record made by Vincent Richard who won the title in 1915, 1919 and 1920, and then went on to become one of the nation's outstanding playora. It was Hocht's last year of play as a junior and he defeated Richard K. Hebard in the fouls.
