TRIPLE BADMINTON CROWN is collum
Superb Exhibition In Strenuous Doubles
(By "Tinker")
PATRICK H. WONG, former Colony badmin- ton champion, emulated the performance of P. K. Hui last year by gaining the triplo open titlo last night at the Kowloon Cricket Club when he partnered Miss W. Cheung in the Mixed Doubles and beat Miss Ulian Khoo and K. L. Yong by 15-7. 15-7, and partnered in the men's doubles with C. Au beat H. F. Chew and K. L. Yong by 6-15, 15-8, 15-9.
On his exhibition of last night there was no doubt as to his right to wear the triple crown. His brilliant exhibition in the mixed doubles was capped by an equally brilliant performance in the men's doubles. In the latter match, after dropping the first game, it will be admitted, even by Au that Wong carried the day.
His energy.

From there they added the remolning zeven points-winning, or side and secured at least seventy can be seen, 12 points without drop- per cent of the points in the ping one. second and third games. In was in this latter match, too, that there occurred some of the most! amazing rallies seen in the Open Tournament to date.
I did not need the words of the Rev. J. R. Higgs, President of the Association, during the presentation of the prizes which followed, to tell those present that the standard of the Colony's badminton was high enough to hold its own with any in the Far East.

THE MEN'S DOUBLES match was a most strenuous one, especially for Patrick Wong. Charlle Au was notning, quite up to form, and was therefore not quite able to shoulder the burden that he might conceivably have done to relleve his partner. II. F.
