CRC A Step Nearer To Winning All Four Men's

Tennis League Titles

THE CHINA MAIL, TUESDAY, JULY 17, 1

TURPIN HOLDS THE TROPHY

Chinese Recretion Club went a step nearer to achieving the feat of winning all the four Men's Tennis League titles this year when the CRC "1" cleared their last hurdle in the Men's "B" Division with a clear 8-1 victory over the hitherto only unbeaten team, Recreio.

The Tai Hang Club are expected to score comfortable wins in their remain- ing two matches in this division agains! Ladies' Recreation Club and CRC "2."

NO TOUCHING WOOD

It is a custom among gollers, on looking back, to say that it was "So-nnd So's championship." They mean that So-and-So was clearly intended by fate to be the winner, and they point to all the little twists of fortune that helped him on his way, and at the same time caused without the ball of his nearest rival to rim the hole falling in.

The Open of 1951, was indeed Max Faulkner's cham- pionship, but never in this sense. He not only won it single-handed, but persistently defied or ignored the gods of fortune in a way which made one's hair stand on end.

In the sylvan glades of historic Arundel Castle a benefit match has been played for George Cox, the Sussex cricketer. What an invasion the battlemented old town on the banks of the beautiful river Arun had! The police chief told me there were 1,500 motors in the car parks.
