Though the Chinese R.C. defeated the Civil Service C.C. by eight sets to one and the South China A.A. trounced the Indian R.C. by nine to nil, best performance in the "B" Division of the Tennis League yesterday was returned by the Craigengower C.C., who visited King's Park to beat the strong Club do Recreio team by five and a half sets to three and a half.

HOW KHO WON HIS FINAL AT BOURNEMOUTH
A Botter Player Than Is Realised
London, May 4. Kho Sin-kle, the 24-year-old Java born Chinese tennis player, won his national title at Bournemouth. Jast week when he defeated H. W. Aus tin (the holder), in the final of the British Hard-Court Championship. 04, 6—1, 3–6, 6–3,
The Chinese adapted himself bet- tor to the prevalling conditions-a high wind made it dimeult to play accurate tennis.
Austin did not find that all- important touch which he relies from start to finish. Perhaps ha was feeling the effects of his gruel- ling five set match of the previous day against Petra' (France),
Kho, although he is not in tho world's first ten players, is a very much better performer than many In this country realise.
His dipping top-spin drive, which won so many points of Austin, was Just the shot to function in the wind. His spinning drop shot is a gem.
Austin is not the first lending player to fall to the wiles and gulles of Kho Sin-icle, who has been in blg tennis since 1935.
His bag also includes Stefani the Italian, Schroder the Swede, the Frenchman Boussus, and our ОУП Hare and Hughes,
