TENNIS TOURNEY CONTINUES
Second round matches in the Colony tennis championships at the
Hongkong Cricket Club yesterday provided slight excitement. Though favourites for their match against F. V. Harrison and W. Sander, the Rumjahn cousins were fully extend- ed in the first set, the beginning of which it appeared no though they were going to lose.
Harrison and Sander ran into a lead of three-love, before the Rum- jahus settled down and showed any- thing like their usual form. They finally annexed the set at .7-5. Harrison played a good game but locked the necessary understanding with his partner.
