BEATEN BY HECHT EN CZECH CHAMPIONSHIP
Prague. To-day- Roderick Menzel, the Czecho- slovakian Davis Cup tennis play- er, took part in the Czechoslova kian championships, thus revers- ing his decision to retire from the game and to devote his time to writing. He was beaten in the semi-final by his countryman L Hecht, the scores being 6-2, 7-5 and 62-Reuter
It will be recalled that Menrel made an announcement that he would retire from competitive tennis after he was beaten in the final of the mixed doubles cham- pionship in the International Alexandria Championships in
earlier in the month. Frau Wolfe, of Austria, was his partner and! their conquerors were G. P. Hughes and Miss Yorke, of Bri tian, the scores being 6-2, 6-1.
It was stated at the time that; Menzel was giving up the game lin order to devote the whole of his time to writing. 'When in- terviewed by Reuter he said that tennis was a whole time job and that it is impossible to indulge in| any other interests at the same time."
When Menzel and Hecht passed through the Colony, earlier in the year, on their way to take part in the championships in India, they figured in an exhibition match at the HK.CC. when they treated local tennis enthusiasts to thrilling display.

money.
WELL CARED FOR The child was found by Inspec- tor Andrews as the second defen- dant was trying to leave her house with the child. The house! was used partly as a brothel and partly as a divan. The infant had been well cared for.
It appeared that the father had! been in arrears with his rent and When pressed for payment decid- ed to sell his child. The mother knew of this business and actual- ly banded the child over to the second defendant, but as she was in very poor bealth the police did not take any action against her.
Inspector Andrews concluded by saying that he always held the Igo-betweens in these cases more
to blame, and in his opinion they were the same as receivers· of {stolen property or fences.
