P. K. Hui of the University became triple badminton champion of Hongkong for the second successive year last night, when he won both the men's singles and doubles finals to add to the mixed doubles laurels secured the previous even- ing. Those successes are undeniable confirma- tion of his status as the Colony's leading exponent of the game.
For about two minutes of the first: Which scored time and again with the gume against Au in the single tie, opposition caught in two minds; his Hul was worried. He could not anticipation and interception were draw away from the tenacious Au, niso clever and effective, often being a long rally and it was pretty clear that whoever the means of terminating a did get a lead after the scores had with an unanswerable "kill," been entled at cight-all would more than likely win the game.

Hui was not slow in following up second this advantage, and in the game he obtained a deckled master over his opponent, forcing Au Into errors, and rarely failing to whip out a winning shot when opportunity of curred.
Hul's genius was fully revealed in this match, for Au by no micans challenger played badly. But the did not seem able to sustain his efforts, and in both games fell away once the halfway stage was reached.
He and Lim worked well together and it seemed that only want of match experience denied them at least one game. Lim scored heavily with smashes down the middle of the but his strvice was 100 court, stereotyped, and Hui quickly worked out bow to kill it.

Hul himself made several mistakes which normally would not come from his racfcet, and which obviously were the outcome of his tiring singles match, but i was Young who made the most errors, and by some curious trick of chance, they occurred from his shot game, which is usually the strongest feature of Yong's play.
