MALAYA THINKING OF
SENDING TENNIS TEAM TO H. K.
(By "Veritas")
MALAYA may be sending a tennis team to Hong-
kong next year.
According to a letter received by the Hongkong L.T.A. from the Malaya. Lawn Tennis Association this week, Malaya is desirous of her leading players taking part'in the Hongkong tennis championships..
!
The letter asks for information concerning the tourna- ment, intimating that Malaya may send up a team to par- ticipate.
It is on the cards that Malaya may have an Inter- port contest in mind. Hongkong and Malaya has never yet contested an official tennis Interport. The Inte Khoo Hooi-bye, when Singapore champion, visited Hongkong several times and played here, but Hongkong has not yet had the pleasure of welcoming a tennis team from Malaya..
