C.R.C. To Field Strong Teams

SHOULD RETAIN "A" DIV. LEAGUE TENNIS TITLE

Also Challenge In Mixed Doubles League

FORMIDABLE JUNIOR TALENT

(By "REFEREE”)

THE Chinese Recreation Club, holders of the "A" Division League title, are almost certain to re- tain the title with the talent at their disposal, while they will offer a strong challenge to the United Services Recreation Club for the Dunlop Shield or Mixed Doubles League. ·

Tsui Wai-pui, Colony Singles and Doubles Grass and Hardcourt champion, Tsui Yun-pui, co-holder of the Colony Doubles title, Paul Kong, a very experienced player and former Davis Cup star, Y. W. Lee, ranked fourth at the C.R.C. and semi-finalist in the Club! Championship. Lee Wai-tong, who played last year and Ho Ka-lau, former Colony Doubles finalist, are all available and with these players the holders could certainly field an unbeatable "A" Division team to defend their title.

K.C.C. PROBABLE LEAGUE TENNIS PARTNERSHIPS

Little New Talent On View

Kowloon Cricket Club are look- ing forward to an enjoyable rather than a successful League Tennis

season.

Most of the players mentioned above will be available for the Mixed Doubles team which will this year include all Chinese ladies.

Mrs. Litton, who played two sea- sons ago for the C.R.C., who were then holders, is again available, while Mrs. Chịu Chun chiu, one of the best Mixed Doubles players in the Colony, is also at the Club's disposal.

KWANGTUNG CHAMPION

In addition Mrs. Y. P. Cheung, is reported to have won

Loo, puted to be above average, while Blum who played the last time the C.R.C. should_make_his_presence felt in "B" fielded-a-team_in_the_Mixed Doubles. Division. He is up to "A" standard, possessing a powerful forehand drive League, is also a likely player. and being extremely active in the fore- court. Duncan is a steady type of player who is at present very wisely concentrating on stroke practice rather than attempting the spectacular.

Anderson, at his own request, be- cause of lack of opportunities for prac- tice, will be figuring in "C" Division;: in which K.C.C. have their best chance of a title,

Mrs. F. F. Clarke impressed very favourably at the practice last Sun- day, but she was not too happy yester- day at a second practice. It is believ- ed, however, that she will settle down into a very useful player for the "A"

mixed doubles team. Mrs. Clarke had previously been playing a good deal at Kowloon Bowling Green Club..

Probable K.C.C. pairings are:

1 waa informed that all lady members of the Club who contem- plate playing in the Mixed Doubles League, will be given a chance to play some time or other.

Unfortunately

for the Club, Mrs. Lo Tung-fan, who has play- ed for the Club, is at present away from the Colony, being in Tientsin, but they hope to pro- vide a newcomer in a young Australian Chinese lady, who is reported to have won several tournaments "Down Under.” The latter, should she be as good as reported, will undoubtedly find her way into the team in the first few matches.

C.R.C., who are also the holders. of the "B" Division title,...will be able to field a rather strong team, but will miss the services of Iu Tak-cheuk, the Club's leading left handed player, who is reported to announced his retirement from League tennis.

WEALTH OF TALENT

'They will have, however, Frank left- H. Kwok the Club's best handed player and S. W. Liang, who will probably play together as they have done in previous seasons and in the Colony championships, Wong Fuk-nam, a very experienced League player, Luk Chun-cheong, Tsoi Ping-fan and possibly Luk Ding-cheung and Wong Shiu-wing,

who may, however, be invited to play for the "A" Division team, for whom they turned out last

year.

A CORRECTION

It was erroneously stated in yester day's issues of the “China Mail” that J. B. Gonsalves was holder of Recreio Men's Singles tennis championship. The present holder is A. V. Gosano, who beat Gonsalves in the semi-final round, and was then given a walk-over by A. V. Remedios, in the final.

Tsang Cheung-nin, a very promis- ing left-handed player.

In the "C" Division, the C.R.C. will have Iu Tak-lam, who skippers the team, Lau Fook-ki, Hon Lum- It is interesting to note that the fung, Ma Siu-leung who played in team have another left-handed several League games last season, player in Ma Siu-leung...
