CHINESE HELD BY K.C.C. “A”
Anderson Plays Very Well
The Chinese RC, who had siready jost to the South China A.A., in the "B" Division of the Hongkong Tennis League, had a further setback yester day when they were held to a draw by the Kowloon CC, "A" on the fatter's courts, and their hopes of relaining the championship are now very remote indeed,
D. J. N. Anderson, who partnered N. A. E, Mackay, was in a large meas sure responsible for the K.C.C. draw- ing with the Chinese. Revealing mi incisive volley and strong overhead strokes, he carried his partner through many a tight corner and 10 gether they took two and a half sels for the side.
F. Groat and A. V. White, the first pair of the Kowloon C.C., were not as steady as usual, and they dropped their first set of the season to S. W. Liang and F. H. Kwok, White wha very aggressive throughout.
W. M. Gittins and B. Soltau failed to take a set. The latter was very shaky and gave little support to his veteran partner.
