POOR LIGHT PROVES HANDICAP,

In a friendly hockey match play- ed at King's Park yesterday after- noon, the C.B.A., who fielded only, ten men, being without a goal- keeper, defeated the Hong Kong,

(By Base Line.)

S. A. Rumjahn accomplished a brilliant and specta. cular comeback yesterday when he defeated E. C. Fincher in a most convincing manner by scores of 6-2, 6-1, 1-6, 6-4. The only previous occasion on which he won the title was in 1927 when he defeated Ng Sze-kwong, who was also at- tempting a comeback. He figured in the final round during 1928 and 1929 eventually losing to T. Honda and M. W. Lo.

On yesterday's display it can be taken for granted that S. A. Rumjahn is the best singles player in the Colony without the shadow of a doubt. His agility coupled with his uncanny anticipation is sufficient to break up the game of T. Honda, the only other star whom he did not meet in his triumphant path to the championship. Congratula- tions Rumjahn, you certainly deserve your success.
