Lo, however, drew level and took the set at 7-5 by superior court craft, Lo won the third set comfortably, and was leading 3-2 in the fourth set when bud light stopped play.

Ng Sa-cheung was playing very steadily and was causing Lo a great den! of anxiety. He is a very interest- ing player to watch; at times he re- sorts to the under-arm service with a tremendous spin on it, but, taking him all round, he is too lazy, and his op- ponents gain valuable points by short ening their length. He must get over this fault and then perhaps he may be in the running for championship

honours.
