FEW UNEXPECTED RESULTS
THE ARMY LOSE HEAVILY
The heavy defcat of the Army Tennis Club by the C.R.C., and the reverse sustained by the Police against the Indian R.C. were among the outstanding results of yesterday's "C" Divi sion tennis programme.
The Deutscher Klub did well to visit the Kowloon Indians and
The Chinese Recreation. Club astounded local tennis en- thusiasts yesterday when they defeated the powerful United Services Recreation Club com- bination in the Mixed Doubles League and made themselves virtually safe for the champion- ship.
The C.R.C. have only to win or draw their last game to win the Dunlop Shield for the first time since it was offered for competition in 1929.
To Ho Ka-lau and Miss R Perry the C. R. C. owed their victory yesterday. This partngor- ship, which I adjudged whon I saw them against the K.C.C. to be the strongest in the league, could find no equal. True, they were taken to 6-4 by L. Goldman and Mrs. Lochner and to 7-5 by Capt. Cannon and Mrs. James. But of their ultimate superiority there was no question.
