THE CHINA MAIL, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 8. 1954.
NO REAL FIREWORKS IN FIRST ROUND OF LADIES' DOUBLES CHAMPIONSHIP
The first round of the Colony Ladies' Doubles Championships, played off last evening at the Ladies' Recreation Club, did not produce any real fireworks. Although two of the matches stretched out to the full three sets, the most interesting feature of the evening's play was the contrast in the results achieved by the two pairs of youngsters, the Misses P. Kho and E. Chan being rather too easily defeated and the Misses M. Fincher and S. B. Silva pulling their match out of the fire with some good tennis after being a set down.
Miss Kho and Miss Chan, who were on the centre court against Mrs Pepperall and Mrs Getz, seemed to find the occasion too much for them and in the game pro- duced only very few of the good shots of which, in a few minutes knocking up after it was all over, they showed they were fully capable.
