BAGUIO WONG PROVES SHE IS QUITE DEFINITELY THE ASIAN CHAMPION

I

By “TOUCHWOOD”

Japan's feminine table tennis stars were caught off guard when Hongkong's Baguio Wong and Lau Wai-lim brought out their best to take two of five games in the table tennis exhibition on the Corbillon Cup system at Queen Elizabeth II Stadium last night.

Miss Baguio Wong, Asian Women's Singles Champion last year, was the star of the exhibition matches. She surprised everyone with two unexpected victories. Miss Wong scalped Fujie Eguchi, ranked No. 2 in the world and the current all-Japan Women's Singles Champion, with an 18-21, 22-20, 21-11 victory. The Japanese did not take part in the Asian Championships at Singapore last December and Baguio Wong proved last night that she is No. 1 in Asia.
