Excellent con- itions prevailed and the match was witnessed by a number of supporters of both clubs.

K.C.C. supporters were full of hopes that their team would be successful and, indeed, at one stage it looked as if there hopes would materialise. A win for then meant securing the 1st division championship.

At the end of the first 33 games, the KC.C. were leading by three games, Green and Tay winning by 8-8, Hyde and Fincher by G-5, Krebs und Trambitsky going down to the tune of 44-7. At the second interval (66 games) the lions improved their position. and when scores were totted up they were two games in hand. They won two of the three sets, Green, and Lay, and Krebs and Trambilky, being defeated 47 inbuch e. Hyde and Fletcher were again sticcessful, B-3. The third series, of games began in favour of the K.C.C. and in the initial stages they more than held their own, but she Indians were not to be denied and nally won two of the three sets, Green und Lay-losing by 5-6 and Krebs and Tranbilsky 17. Hyde and Fincher scored another win, 6-5,

Singapore has hitherto been pre- vented from sending up a team, owing to certain financial difficul ties, but it is believed that the obstacles have now been overcome.

Shanghai beat Hongkong three. years ago at Shanghai, and it is hoped on this occasion to extract a measure of revenge for that defeat.

One of these was rigging, and one of the secrets of his success was that he always went over every bit of gear himself and was quite certain that it could stand the tremendous strains that he was certain to put on it once it commenced to blow.
