TIRES QUICKLY: MADE TO DO A LOT OF RUNNING
SPLENDID TENNIS TIE ON THE STAND COURT
(By "Abe")
One set was all that S. A. Rumjahn was able to win from Tsui Wai-pui on the stand court of the Hongkong Cricket Club yesterday- when the two old rivals met in the semi-finals of the Colony Tonnis singles championship. But that one set in itself was an achievement for a man who was playing in his twentieth consecutive championship, and particularly in view of the fact that the local champion is now playing at the top of his form.

Had this set gone to Rumjuhn, the match might have taken autorent turn. He went all out to get it and his failure to do so made his later task all the harder. Ifia success in the second set, after going to a 5-2 lead, was well-deserved, but he was a very tired man by this time and victory, if it came at all, was still a long way off.
