It did not take long for China's representatives to lose an active interest in the men's singles championship at Wimbledon yesterday, Kho Sin-kic, Gordon Lum, W. C. Choy and J. R. Ho all being beaten on the opening day of the annual tennis carnival Kho in-kie alone did anything to The minute Czech had bare-legged enhance the playing reputation of the Chinese. He carried G. P.

HO'S RESISTANCE
M. R. Ho, a young Chinese who dan -boon building up a useful reputation in English tournament during the spring, offered hot resistance to Ma Holl, the Swiss Davis Cupper, and after losing the first two sets at 7-6, D-7, won the third at 0-1.
He was extremely plucky during his two-hours struggle from the baseline.. Errors flowed from his racket in the second net, but later he recovered so well that he was able to attack vigor ously and force Maneff into mistakes. It was Mareff's amazing retrieving power which pulled him, through a delicate situation.
W. C. Choy, ex-Hongkong boy and Cambridge Blur, snatched the second set from Del Castillo, the Argentine player, but i was more in the nature of a
aot. Choy was unaccount- "wide" ably, wask on the backband while i service merely invited-Del Castillo to score outright aces. Choy's brightest period was in the second set when he aunahod a spectacular volleying at- tack and chased his opponent all over the court. But he failed to profit by the lesson, or else the effort took too much out of him. Anyway he retired to the baseline after this and was con- sequently a target for Del Castillo's effective ground shots which exposed all sorts of weaknesses in Choy's de fence.
LUM SWEPT OFF COURT Gordon Lun was literally swept off the court by L. Siba, e diminu - tive Czechoslovakian, the welt. known Chinese player scoring but two games in each of the three sets.
