THEIR WORTH
Beat Kowloon Cricket Club And
Virtue Of Skilful Courtcraft
K.C.C. BEATEN BY STRATEGY
(By "Varita")
Exceptionally skilful courtcraft and the ability to turn the slightest opening to full account was chiefly responsible for the Siamese tennis players winning their second match of the tour yesterday when they defeated Kowloon Cricket Club by two rubbers to one. This was a natural follow-up of their decidedly unexpected victory over Chinese Recreation Club on Saturday and was a satisfying demonstration that our visitors are well able to hold their own against the Colony's best talent.
The Siamese players relied almost exclusively on strategy to pull them through two very keen contested matches. Their loss of the third match was naturai. Muang Reong Vasantasinha and Ranong, tired after test against Guest and gruelling Grose could not maintain the pace against E. C. Fincher and Bodiker and lost in straight sets.

If the sky is overcast visitors do not experience the same dimeulty. With the Aut out, how-- ever, there are usually disconcerting shadows, while the position of the counts makes service from one side a handicap rather than nh advantage.
Both teams hope to be at full strength, and the match will be a big test for the U.S.R.C. lady players upon whom so much always depends. If Mrs. Wilson, Mrs. Kayll and Mrs. Dowling can maintain form and Sulli van and Withington show a correspon- ding improvement on their display against the K.C.C, the odds are slight- ly in favour of the U.S.R.C.
