H. D. RUMJAHN AND MRS. CHIU DISAPPOINT
FALL EASY VICTIMS
TO GOLDMAN AND MISS HANCOCK
In Mixed Doubles Final
(By L. 5. B.)
With both pairs playing consistent if neither very good nor very fast tennis L. Goldman and Miss R. Han- cock defeated H. D. Rumjahn and Mrs. Chiu Chun-chiu at the Chinese Recreation Club on Saturday 6-3, 6-2 to win the Colony Mixed Doubles Championship.
Throughout the match the GOLDMAN'S FAULTY SERVING winners showed superior strok- ing and better team work, settling down quickly to steady game which was good without boasting great variety or speed.

When Goldman dropped two points in succession with double faults, it looked as though he and Mias Hancock were going to drop the second game, but they strug- gled back to deuce and finally won the game when Rumjahn and Mrs. Chiu, standing a foot apart, watch- ed a slow drive go between them.
Goldman lost his service in the sixth game, and by repeatedly netting easy returns, gave the losers the next.
Strokes lost by either pair were generally the result of sheer bad play and not of clever placing or hard bitting by the opponents. But Goldman'a not smashica muet be 4xcepted. On the other hand points were simply given away by Rumjahn and Mrs. Chiu who many

RUMJAHN CONSISTENT
Goldman and Mine Hancock look- ed as if at any time they could have responded to an increased speed in the exchanges, but Rumjahn and Mrs. Chiu preferred a slower, any sort of speeding resulting in over hitting.
Mrs. Chiu was particularly erra- tie in this respect and quite off her usual form; many driven landed a foot or two 'beyond the baseline, and her lobs much further out.
Rumjahn played the most con- sistent game, if not the best. Rarely was he tricked or failed to return the ball; but his strokes were of mediocre quality and lacked
