Tennis of varying grades of excellence and mediocrity was supplied by the South China Athletic and Indian Recreation Club "A" Division teams at King's Park yesterday, when the Indians snatched league points by the odd set. There WAS a lot of fine individual effort, youthful K. H. Wong of South China and experienced Sirdar Rumjahn of I.R.C. being notable examples.
