INTERPORT TENNIS TO-DAY Rumjahns Should Provide Stern Opposition
K.C.C. LADY PLAYERS TOO GOOD FOR RECREIO
Tennis for the fun of the game was witnessed yesterday at Kowloon Cric- ket Club, where K.C.C. entertained a team of twelve players from Club de Recreio and won a most enjoyable en- counter by 23 sets to 13, mainly as the result of the superiority of their lady players.
So popular did this fixture prove that it is now considered. very prob- able that it will be made an annual event.
Outstanding feature of the after- noon's play was the dazzling form shown by A. V. Remedios and J. Gon- salves against Teddy Fincher and G. C. Burnett. Playing almost perfect tennis, they won 6-1 after losing the first game to avenge their League de- feat by the same margin.
Men's and ladies' doubles were played before tea, dfter which the mixed doubles, divided into two sec- tions, were played.
Scores are as follows:

"ENNIS of a high order should be seen at Hong Kong Cricket Club this afternoon when the first of a three- day Interport tennis programme between the Colony and Thailand will be played.
Hong Kong will be represented in the two singles, which compose to- day's programme, by S. A. and H. D. Rumjahn, those two veterans of many an Interport encounter, who can con-. fidently be expected to carry our co- lours with much of their old skill and all their fine sportsmanship.
CHAMPIONS
The two Thailanders, who will be in action to-day-Muang Roeng and Sanoh-have shown in practicé games at Kowloon Cricket Club that they 6-2 are no mean exponents of the game. 7-9 They are champions in their own 6-2 country. Eymard

Nevertheless they will have to give of their best to beat the Rumjahns.
I fully expect S. A. Rumjahn to win. He has all the necessary equip- Capt. Kasom, captain of the touring ment, even now, to stand up to aside, secured his Blue at Cambridge gruelling match, but, unless H. D. can the same year as W. C. Choy, well- Totals:-K.C.C. 6; Recreio 3.

Stay Down-To Ball
By BEST BALL
George Dunlap is giving an ex- cellent illustration of staying down to the ball in the above pic- ture. The average golfer, exert- ing this much power into the swing is inclined to disturb the position the body assumed at ad- dress. Either raising or lowering the body will destroy the accur acy of the clubhead's path. Often- times the fault is unconscious but disastrous none the less. One long shots the effort inclines one to raise his trunk for the extra dis- tance, on short shots there is a tendency to try to stoop down and scoop the ball.
While Dunlap may grasp the club with his right hand a little more under the shaft than most players, the other fundamentals such as head down, chin back of ball, left hip out of the path of stroke are followed exactly. By grasping the club in this method, Dunlop is able to keep his right elbow close in and the handa. close to the body on body downstroke. The club-head may be more difficult
