K.C.C. NOMINATE

PLAYERS Surprising Doubts Regarding Clarke

SECOND TRIAL ON SUNDAY

(By "BASE-LINE") At a meeting of the Lawn Tennis Committee of the Kowloon Cricket Club last night players for their seven League teams were nominat- ed, but in several instances these are subject to revision following a second series of trials next Sunday afternoon, commencing at 3 p.m.

It is surprising to see that G.

2 40.00 through.

Thus, in the 'teens, when Ng Sze-kwong snatched the Singles title and a year later with Wong Po-keung added the Doubles title, the Chinese Recreation Club followed those suc- cesses by capturing the Senior Division League Shield. Then in the early twenties, when some half-a-dozen Indian youths made their presence felt in the championship competitions, the Senior Shield passed from the hands of the Chinese to their Indian rivals.

In 1924, Honda won the Singles Championship. He led the M.B.K. worthily, but no one man can ever win league titles for his side, but it was significant that the change of title that year influenced the competition in the League to such an extent that the United Services Recreation Club snatched the honours from the Indians. A few years later, with the Rumjahn cousins' sequence of successes in the Open Doubles, and C. A. L. Rum- jahn's supremacy in the Singles, the Indians regained the League leadership in 1930 and 1931, but since then the more balanced teams of the Chinese Recreation Club have prevailed against

It appears, therefore, that history is more likely to repeat itself this season than in the past, because of the excellent material that the Chinese Re- creation Club are able to draw upon in support of the Tsuis.
