RUMJAHN COUSINS AGAIN WIN.

The

Eighth Title Won After Gruelling Five Set Encounter

PLUCKY CHALLENGERS.

(By "Base Line.")

For the eighth year in succession H. D. and S. A. Rumjahn have won the Open Doubles Championship of the Colony, Yesterday they defeated E. C. 'Fincher and L. Goldman by 6-4, 4-6, 1-6, 6-1, 6-1, after causing their supporters some anxiety in the earlier part of the match.

The challengers played well above the form they dis- played in the earlier rounds, but after having gained a de- finite advantage at the conclusion of the third set, they cracked up badly and from then onwards the issue was never in doubt. It was a game which produced far too many careless mistakes on both sides, though both sides had their inspired spells. Taking the match all-round, how- ever, it was a very fitting conclusion to a most successful tournament.

The Rumjahns realised that 1927 their moment had come and so well did they play that only two 1928 games were conceded in the re- maining two sets. If Goldman had 1929 only killed one of those smashes things might have been different; 1930 both the challengers were keyed-up to fever pitch and with the match 1931 within their grasp they might quite easily have risen to great 1932 heights; but those two missed] smashes cost them the match.

He was too careless with some of his strokes, but he fully dispelled all doubts as to whether he was going to be the passenger. In fact, so well did he play that the Rumjahn attack was concen- trated on Fincher and for long spells on end Goldman was not al- lowed to enter into the game.

Mr. Hancock complimented the tennis authorities of the Hong Kong C.C. for the way in which they had handled the tournament, and said that, although the drop in entries this year had been negli gible, the championships had been concluded three weeks earlier this year.
