PLAY-OFF IN
Indians And Police Tie For Honours: Club de Recreio Fail
THERE WERE TWO VITAL GAMES in the Junior League cricket on Saturday last, and as it turned out a tio has rosulted. The Recreio were in a very strong position as they had a very good chance of winning the Shield had they boaten 1.R.C. second eleven. The batting on both sides was so weak that a draw was unlikely. A victory would have meant that they had to beat the Army second cloven to win the Shield, and to draw with|| them to tie with the Police. But they lost.
Police and I.R.C. second have to play off, I presume upon a neutral ground. On the whole, I fancy the chances of the Police, especially if Fay turns out for them.
A Good Change
To deal with the less interest- faulte well and played one or two nice ing match firat, the Police were shots. all over Craigengower, Pope (94) was unlucky to miss his century, and no less than five other batsmen got double figures, while the innings was declared at 188 for six wickets.

SEMI-FINAL
J. W. Leonard Defeated 6-1, 6-4 In Open Singles Tournament
(By "Tinker")
IN STRAIGHT SETS, and by scores of 6-1, 6-4, S. A. Rumjahn entered the semi-finals of the Hongkong Open Tennis Singles Tournament at the Hongkong Cricket Club yesterday, eliminating J. W. Leonard. It was a game of
few thrills.
After winning the first set in
a way that made him appear far, and away the more superior player, S, A. Rymjahn ran into fa 6-1 lead in the second set be- fore Leonard staged a very fine recovery and defermined effort to take that set, at least. It was not a case of Rumjalin having relaxed so much as Leonard com- menced showing control over his shots,
For five games in this second set,
the spectators were treated to a bet- ter kind of tennis. Both employed the top-spin, but Rumjahn brought out a surprisingly strong and de- curate backhand. His shots from that Fide
requently found the far back corner of the court, and with the sur- face of the court somewhat slippery, those shots were hard to return, Leonard was trapped into presenting
the canlest of kills at the net.
