RUMJAHN WALKS AWAY WITH TENNIS TITLE
NERVOUS CASSUMBHOY
MAKES POOR FIGHT
ASTOUNDING RECOVERIES BY
CHAMPION
(By "VERITAS";}
OFFERING serious resistance only in the second set,
J. A. E. Cassumbhoy failed in his challange to S, A. Rumjahn yesterday for the singles tennis crown of the Colony, and was well and truly beaten in straight sets, the scores reading 6-0, 7-5, 6-2.
In many respects this was one of the most disappointing finals seen (for many years. The tennis only touched high standard at rare. intervals, the attendance was poor, and the arrangements, I am sorry to add, were quite inadequate and not what one rightly expects for such an important match.
For instance where were the linesmen? Mr. C. J. Tacchi, who

wart 15-7 13-15 15-12. In fact he is a much better stylist, hitting the ball more cleanly and using his feet to better advantage.
It was Rumjaha's pertinacity, his quite uncanny powers of re covery, and his ability to turn a disadvantageous position to his own benefit, which gave him such comparatively easy victory.

Up to a point I think Casscmb- hoy played as well as one expected of him, and as well as he possibly could. He certainly fell down in certain phases of the game in surprising manner, such as in service, which yielded more double faults than aces, but his ground strokes were at times de- lightful to behold.
SAME OLD STORY.
In the second set. they were working with + freedom and accuracy, which allowed him to; keep Rumjahn on the run, and when he broke through to lead 6-3 the odds were on him' captur- ing the ser. But his nerve failed him at the cruicial period, and Rumjahn went bodly into the at tack and indulged in a typical re- covery.
The reason why Cassumbhoy lost the first set to love was that he started weakly and slowly. taking the whole six games to get his strokes into worlding order. His third set debacle was the result of "tails down" consequent on his second set disappointment. Rumjohn won the first six games of the match, Cassumbhoy the frat, fourth, sixth, seventh 'and eigth of the second set and the fifth and seventh of the third.
Rumjaha's Aequences were therefore: six games in the first set, four in the second and four in the third.
