(By "Veritas">
The annual attempt by the Colony's most enthusiastic tennis players to secure the championship title of Hong- kong begins to day-thanks chiefly to the welcome sun- light which made itself felt yesterday. But for it, a delay in the opening of the tourna- ment might have resulted, as the courts at the Hongkong Cricket Club were looking very stodgy on Saturday.
Yesterday they dried up extremely woll, and several members of the club, who are competitors this week, were patting in some serious prac tled. Among them was Alec Pearce who is scheduled to meet T. C. Monoghan this afternoon,

(By R. II. D
Macao gained their first In- terport Hockey victory when they defeated Honglong by one goal to nil on the Navy ground, King's Park, on Satur day afternoon. A large crowd was kept thrilled with a very fast game in which the Portu- guese were definitely superior in all departments and their victory was well merited
