With a lead of three games Lum never! looked back and received little opposition from the morally de- down feated Rumjahn. He sent terrific service shots which always forced Rumjahn off the court and his forehand driving was such that the local player had no chance to pepper his much weaker backhand.

T the conclusion of the first set in the match between Fin-

cher and Cheng I felt sure that I would not be again disappointed by the K.C.C. player; but I was. Fin- cher had the game in his pocket when he took the first set at 6-2,5 but over-confidence allowed Cheng to get on level terms again at 6-3. In the third set he broke through Cheng's opening service to take a 2-love lead, but he was again forced to concede the set at 6-4. He always failed to consolidate his position when the opportunity afforded and his gallant effort in the fourth get was only made pós- sible by a slackening up on Cheng's part. His effort to get again terms with his opponent left him very tired for the Afth set, which he threw away by reckless hitting, Cheng winning the match at 6-1 to almost make a Shanghai victory

Fincher's defeat leads me to think that he does not, possess the "big" match temperament. For the last, three years he has reached the Final Round of the Singles Championship and has been beaten decisively on all three occasions when favoured in many quarters. On Saturday he was the superior player to Cheng, but he failed to record a victory. For patience Fincher, has earned, an enviable reputation, yet he cracked up against the steadiness of Cheng who possesses no outstanding strokes with the exception of a dazzling Hong Kong C.C. II. v.
