CLUB de Recreio have branched out this season in their Lawn Tennis League programme by entering a team in the Mixed Doubles League, and, judging from the talent (ladies especially) at their disposal, they should provide stern, if not successful, opposition to the Chinese Recreation Club, the holders, the Kowloon Cricket Club “A” team, the United Services Recreation Club and the K.C.C. "B" team.

The Portuguese Club will also be strongly represented in the Men's "B" Division, although they have lost the services of Bertie Gosano, who was recently injured at football he now. has water on both knees and who will not be playing tennis for some time.

The following selected players, although of average strength, are as good as in any other team in the "B" Division: J. J. Remedios and L. F. V. Ribeiro, W. A. Reed and A. E. Xavier, M. A.
