The unusual sight of a little girl, whose height only allowed her to peep over the top of the net, volleying, backhand, and forehand driving against the Fincher brothers and Bertie Guest, was seen at the Kowloon Cricket Club! yesterday, when the Chinese Recreation Club

were the visitors in a Mixed Doubles league Round By
match.
Miss Cheung, partnering W. C. Hung, was the young lady in question, and although faced with every disadvantage ms- sociated with this type of tennis, she gave a most praise- worthy account of herself.
For one of such a tender age and timinutive figure, Misy Cheung has her ground strokes developed to an musal degree of power and accuracy. She has al ready mastered the overhead service; and her self assurance on the court is an attribute which a number of older and very much more experienced players might profitably be endowed with.
Miss Cheung has started in the right direction at the right age, and although her tennis cannot seriously be claimed to be up to the requirements of to-day's mixed doubles league standard, there should be a very pleasant and
player.

Paris, June 18.
Australia to-day qualified to meet Czechoslovakia in the final of the European Zone of the Davis Cup contest by beat- ing France by the odd rubber in five. This is the second year in succession Australia has! reached this stage of the con- test; last year they were beaten by England.
Jack Crawford, whose 'defeat by Andre Merlin on Saturday was the only real surprise re- sult of the match, redeemed himself to-day when he clinched the issue for Australia by de- feating C. Boussus in tense five-set struggle.
Afterwards, Merlin, one of the most improved players in Europe this year, went on to beat Vivian McGrath as anticipated in four Bets.
