(By "ADREM")

ING a very forceful brand of tennis, Recreio had little difficulty in beating South China in the "C" Division of the Lawn Tennis League on the Recreio courts yesterday afternoon.

Although L. F. V. Ribeiro and W. A. Reed won all their games, I did not consider them the best pairing. They played very steadily, however, the type of tennis that pays in the League, and should have a successful season before them.

The best individual display was given by A. E. Xavier, in his first two sets, when he was brilliant. His partner, H. A. Noronha, was also good and both players forced matters through- out. In their final set against
