BUT EXTRICATES HIMSELF ON BROTHER'S ERRORS
SIRDAR RUMJAHN AT THE TOP OF HIS FORM
(By "Veritas")
For two or three exciting minutes yesterday, Tsui Wai-pui, Colony tennis champion, faced defeat in the open singles championship. His brother, Yun-pui, after, an appalling start had drawn level at set-all and was leading 4-3 and 40-15 on Wai-pui's service. But the younger player could not stand the strain, committed a succession of blunders, and the champion went on to win. 6-2, 4-6, 6-4 and qualified for the “Last Eight.”.
EXUBERANT RUMJAHN
Both players were in wretched during their progress through a form in the opening set. Teul tournament. Yan-pui could not gain the slighest control over his shots either not- ting on the drivo er over-hitting on the volley. Wai-pui just walked away with a string of games on his brother's errors, and so disappointing was the tennis that most of the large crowd which surrounded the court melt- nd away at the end of the act.

KWANTI-SPORTSMAN'S PARADISE
LAST SUNDAY'S MEETING AN
OUTSTANDING SUCCESS
CLEVER RIDING AND SEVERAL FINE FINISHES.
(By "Captain Foster")
There is something most refreshing about racing at Kwanti. I always leave the course feeling I have spent an enjoyable day although my pockets may be lighter! The atmosphere at Hunt Meetings somehow is totally different compared with those held under Jockey Club rules. I suppose the intimate touch between owner and rider, the sporting type of events, and the fact that sporting and hunting folk fraternize in force in the picnic spirit have much to do in popularizing meetings under National Hunt Rules? This is tradition in England, and I am happy to think that it applies with equal force in Hongkong.

MASTER BOWLING BADMINTON
Kingston, Mar. 14.
A masterly unfinished stand of 143 by George Headley and Sealey placed the West Indies in a very strong position at the close of to-day's play in the fourth Test Match with England. These two ad- vanced the score from 92 for 2 to 235 for 2 before stumps were drawn, and accomplished the feat in face of brilliant fielding by the Englishmen, says
Reuter.
The weather was glorious and the wicket fast when West Indies won the toss this morning, and quite naturally decided to bat.
A crowd of 5,500 had gathered, to see Barrow and Headley open the innings, and they saw a sen sational start.
