S. A. Rumjahn Tries Hard For Two-Set Lead Then Fades Out Dreary Tennis In Second Singles Semi-Final
Tsui Must Improve "LEAD'S" FORECAST FOR TO-DAY

In contrast to the cri p exchanges and sparkl- ing rallies of the other semi-final, between Tsui Yan-pui and H. D. Rumjohn, yesterday's match was one of pat-ball, with both men quite content to secure their points on mistakes made by the other side.
These two players, with, years of tournament tennis behind them and numerous appearances on Stand Court, were palpably overawed by the oc- casion and the tennis in the first two sets would not have done credit to a couple of junior club players.
