Poor Support Given To Association's Efforts
Hongkong badminton players' response to the invitation to take part in the Colony's 1939 championships culminated yesterday evening with a total of six entries for the men's senior singles, 11 for the junior singles, seven for the men's doubles, eight for the mixed doubles, and five for the ladies' doubles.
