(By "Tinker")
THE COLONY OPEN DOUBLES CHAMPIONS, the Tsui brothers Tsui Wai-pui and Tsui Yun-pui, were seen in action on the Hongkong.Cricket Club courts yes- terday, when they eliminated O. Rumjahn and S. A. Hus. sain in the 1940 Doubles Tournament by 7-5, 6-4.
The scores are deceptive, for the Tsuis adopted cat- and-mouse tactics, and on most occasions only sheer care. lessness cost them points and games,"
Volleying was the highlight of the match. The Tsuis were called upon fairly often to utilise their overhead strokes in dealing with the lobbing defence of the 1.R.C. pair, and it was here too that spectators were shown what the Tsuis, when aggressive, could do.
:
Hussain was definitely the better of the Indian pair. He had a much easier action and style than Rum- Jalin. The Tsuis, however, did not concentrate on the weaker of their
opponents, but dealt impartially with
the shots that esme over.
