To-day the court will be used by the Taul brothers against the Rum- jaha cousins in what should be one of the most entertaining doubles mat- ches of the tournament. The Taul combination has shown up so well in the-rat-two-rounds that there is every possiblilty of a hard-going three set match. Whether it goes the full distance will probably depend on how quickly the champions get off the mark. They are traditionally slow starters and this may give the Chinese pair a chance of snatching the first set. What is more important, the match should give one a reliable in- dication of the future possibilities of the Taui couple.
