The Surrey Finals

London, April 16,

It is seldom indeed that a player whose name does not even appear in the first day's programme of a tournament is to be found not only playing in the final on the last day, but winning. This happened, how- ever, at Roehampton, when E. J. David, a late entry, having defeat- ed R. A. Shayes in a fine match on Friday, was faced yesterday by the New Zealander D. C. Coombe, who had disposed of J. S. Olliff the previous day.

Oddly enough, neither of the finalists would have been those if the ordinary course of tournament play had been followed; but, at the request of the IT.A., the semi-final matches had been made "five-setters" instead of three; and in each case the man who would have been beaten in three sets won in five.

GOSANO SCORES COLONY'S ONLY GOAL IN SECOND HALF

Manila, Monday: Seventy minutes of sparkling football featured by speedy and interest- ing rallies gave the All-Manila selection, the same contingent that trounced the Straits Chinese 7-0 last April 9, a deserving 3-1 victory last night over Hong Kong's crack interporters. The victory of the local stars avenged a 4-1 defeat handed them by Lee Wai Tong and his team-mates in Hong Kong last February in the first Manila-Hong Kong inter- port contest.

The next appearance of the Hong Kong aggre- gation will be to-morrow night against La Salle F.C. while their final appearance Thursday will be against Yeo A. C., Manila Football League cham- pions.
