EX-CHAMPION FAILS TO
"COME BACK"
DISAPPOINTING STAND COURT GAME
(By "Veritas")
NG Sze-kwong, veteran of the Hongkong tennis courts, whose effort to stage a "comeback" in the tennis championship this year gave a romantic tinge to his appearance in the tournament, yesterday, in company with his young partner, Tsui Wai-pui, fell by the wayside, when they opposed the Rumjahn cousins in the third round of the open doubles and were thoroughly beaten 6-1, 6-3, Forgetting for the moment the com- paratively poor opposition offered them, the chief impression left after the game was that when the Rumjahns make up their minds about a tennis match, it takes a lot to thwart thean Yesterday they anticipated their hardest struggle in the present tour-

It was hard lines on Tsui, who, in comparison to his partner, played quite well. His inconsistency once again featured his game, but this may in part be attributed to lack of confidence which Ng'a display was bound to engender.
The match was over in such a short time that the general feeling was that it had been a very tame affair. There is no doubt that the half hearted resistance of the losers came as a shock, but credit must be given to the Rumjahns for their brilliant tennis in the first act.
