WIN FOUR OF FIVE EXHIBITION MATCHES

By “OBSERVER”

World Table Tennis Champion Johnny Leach and French Cham pion Michel Haguenauer last night won the fifth of their extended series of seven games in Hong kong, defeating a Hong kong Combined team by four matches to one.

Lench served the capacity crowd with another masterful and sparkling exħluj- tion of all-round stroke play, winning easily his two singles matches and paving the way to the Doubles yletary.

Haguenauer was on one of his off-dnys, but made a spectacular recovery in hls singles match against the Macao player, Wong Sek-tim. After losing the first two sets, he was trailing 15-20 in the third set when he reeled off seven points in a row to save the set and eventually win the remaining two sets.

On the whole the opposition put up by the Hongkong team yesterday was disappointing, as was the selection of the players for yesterday's matches.

It was thought that the rutinal intention of staging the first night's programme all over again would be adhered to, but in end Hongkong put up a mere scemi-rate team. If it was

the Table Tennis Association's idea to give every ranking player a chance to play against the re pated world stars, the choice of Cheng Kwok-wing could be un- derstood, but still

to be ex

vinined was the Inclusion of
