INDIANS BEAT UNITED SERVICES R. C. COMFORTABLY
SCORE 8-1 WIN IN "A" SECTION TENNIS LEAGUE
GOLDMAN AND CLIFFORD NOT IN BEST. FORM
(By "Abo"),
Even if the Indian did expect to beat the United Services Recreation Club in the “A” Division of the Hongkong Lawn Tennis League at Sookunpoo yesterday, I am sure they had no idea that they would got through so easily. Taking the first six sets, they had clinched the issue by the end of the second round, and wound up by wirining the encounter by eight sets to ono.

they were not only off in their strokes, but they also showed a cur- prising weakness in their volleying and smashing. This was particularly noticeable in the case of Goldman, who made a number of mistnices overhead-a phase of the game which he is usually so good.

K.C.C. WIN BUT ARE
NOT IMPRESSIVE
Weak opposition, rather than the brilliance of the home team, allowed K.C.C. to entertain and beat South China A.A. by eight sete to one. Generally speaking, the standard of play rarely rose above that of "B" Division.
