(By "Abe")
Club de Recreio “A” players again demonstrated their superiority in the Mixed Doubles Badminton, League last night when, playing well within themselves, they defeat Taikoo by eight games to one. Due to the one-sidedness of the encounter, there was little good badminton and the game, on the whole, was a disappointment.
The only pair to drop a game were L. A Curvalho and Mis M. Ribeiro, who were beaten by 21-10, by G, A. Smith and Miss R. Summers in the last round. With 'due respect to of Smith and Miss Summers, both whom admittedly were showing radual improvement as the match progressed, the Portuguese par lost because both of them had become careless us the result of the earlier successes of the team.

GREATEST OFFENDERS
The greatest offenders in this re- gard were Miss Summers and Milas Fraser, whose partners, Smith and Keown respectively, thus had greater burden on their shoulders. Miss Cunningham was the only one of the three who attempted to give her partner backing, but unfortunate- ly 5. Newman was playing a poor game and the combination, therefore, was not as formidable as it might have been.
