CRAIGENGOWER HOLD
SOUTH CHINA
YESTERDAY'S RESULTS IN "D" DIVISION
LTHOUGH the standard of tennis at Happy Valley in the match
A between the Craigengewer C.C. and South China, in the
Division of the Tennis League, never reached very great heights the play was always interesting, and the tie which was the result was a very fair indication of the respective strengths of the two sides.
When a start was made to the third round, the scores were level at three all. Zimmern and Rapley for the homesters, finished their set very quickly scoring an easy victory.
Sadick and Cassumbhoy were then defeated to again level the tally. At this stage, Lam and Karanjia were 2-5 down to Wong and Cheung, and it seemed any odds on a South China victory. The two doctors were not to be denied, however, and fighting every point gallantly upsetting their opponents' consider- ably by high lobbing, they took the next four games in a row to lead 6-5. The effort took too much of them and their opponents the next game to tie the set the match..
