PRYDE CUP WINNERS

CRC BEAT SOUTH CHINA IN CRUCIAL "B" DIVISION MATCH AT TAI HANG

By "ARGONAUT"

In an exemplary exhibition of sportsman ship and tennis prowess, Chinese Recreation Club “1” avenged their defeat at the hands of South China in last year's final by defeating the Champions by 61⁄2 sets to 21⁄2 in yesterday's crucial Men's "B" Division match at Tai Hang.

The Tai Hang club fielded a hundred percent “B” team and were sulishly re- warded not only with a tennis victory but a triumph in sportsmanship.

Mainly responsible for CRC's win were the youthful combination of Chung Yue-to, the Colony Schoolboys" Singles runner-up and Choy Tin-kin. Playing hends- up aggressive tennis, featured by forceful volleys and deadly overhead smashes, the youngsters swept through all their three sets in convincing style.

Giving him excellent support was a steady and fuent-stroking, Choy Ping-fan, whose sharp. angled and well placed volleys and drives paved the way to his pair's valuable contribution of 215 points.

South China's two and half } points came from their frst two pairs. Formidable on paper, the first combination of Leuli Sia and Tony Liang guve a diy- appointing performance, only Liang coming up anywhere to true form.

This trip's most important punch is the distribution of between $90,000 and $100,000 of Damon Runyon Cancer Fund cheques to agencies in France, England, Scotland, Ireland, Norway, Switzerland, Italy and Israel. And he is going to deliver these cheques in each country in person.
