KRAMER'S BOYS ARE IN TOWN

Trabert And Company Arrive For Two-Day Exhibition Games

By ROBERT TAY

Jack Kramer's troupe of professional net aces, Tony Trabert, Frank Sedgman, Ken Rosewall and Pancho Segura are due to arrive in Hongkong this afternoon by air from Bangkok to complete the setting for the two-day exhibition matches among them tomorrow and Wednesday at the Hongkong Cricket Club ground.

This will be the third time that the Kramer troupe will be playing in Hongkong. In 1955 Kramer was accompanied by Pancho Gonzales, Segura and Sedgman in his first visit here, and last year the local tennis populace were able to see in addition to Kramer and Segura in action also the then newly-crowned Wimbledon champions Lew Hoad and Ken Rosewall
