THE youngest player ever to compete in the Curtis Cup golf match between the women of Great Britain and America is included in the recently announced American team.

She is Miss Patty Jane Berg, a freckle-faced, red-haired girl] of 17, who will be one of the most interesting personalities in the forthcoming contest at Gleneagles on May 8, and in the British championship at Southport.

Rumjahn in 1920, entered the Semi- Final Round of the 1936 Colony Lawn Tennis Doubles Championship yesterday at the ILK.C.C. by a totally unexpected success over Lai Kwong- tsun, the Canton hard-courts champion, and Paul Kong, an ex-Davis Cup player, by scores of 7-5, 7-5.

The Lo brothers, playing steady rather than spectacular At. tennis, fully deserved their success. After winning the first set they jumped into a 5-1 lead, and, though their opponents made a very plucky late rally, the match was never in doubt.
