HACHIUMA SHOWS AMAZING ADVANCE

OTHER MATCHES TOO ONE-SIDED TO BE INTERESTING

(By "Base-Line") YHACHIUMA, the leading Japanese player in the Colony, very nearly caused a sensation yesterday in the First Round of the Colony Lawn Tennis Singles Championship when he fully ex- tended Lai Kwong-tsun, the Canton champion at the H.K.C.C.

Hachiuma, after winning the second set, should have beaten Lai, who has been playing too much tennis on hard-courts, but. instead, he gave the impression that he was quite satisfied to havel done as well as he did. It was another case of a great opportunity | being thrown away.

The weather was not too kind for the opening day, an icy! wind making itself keenly felt by the few spectators present, while the tennis served up, with the exception of that in the Lai- Hachiuma match, was most uninspiring and too one-sided.

Sullivan, still a good player but lacking stamina, is expected put up a good fight against much steadier opponent who, in addition, has boundless energy. but I very much doubt whether he will be able to reverse last year's
