(By "Veritas")
W. C. Choy will not participate in the Hongkong lawn tennis championships this year as he is leaving for Shanghai at the end of February with Gordon Lum and Kho Sin-ki to take part in Davis Cup test exhibi- tions. If sufficient funds can be raised, and the Federation regard Choy as suitable, he will probably be included in China's Davis Cup team.
MAY PLAY IN DAVIS CUP
If Finances Permit
According to a
letter re- ceived by Gordon Lum from the Chinese National Amateur Athletic Federation, Kho Sin- ki and Guy Cheng have been invited to play for China in
the Davis Cup this year.
But it is not yet known whether Cheng will be available as he isi studying in Amerken, while tho Federation are anxious to rend Gor- den Lum, and, if he is considered good enough, W, O. Chay, the Hong- kong and Cambridge "Blue" player. Chief thing standing in the weny
of
Lum's inciunion is finance. If Cheng
cannot make the trip Lum
will go for certain, while if funds Chuy will probably
permit, he and
accompany Kho and Cheng.

They will wait for the
arrival in Hongkong of Kho Sin-kl, who at tho moment is engaged in the Philippines All-Comers Cham- pionships.
Kho is due to arrive in Hongkong about February 27, and Gordon Lum la hoping that arrangements can be made in Hongkong for the appearance of Kho, Choy and himself against Colony players in exhibitions. Lum further hopes that the organisers of such exhibition will be willing to offer the financial proceeds to assist China to send a strong contingent to France for the Davis Cup.
