Ona present form, the likelihood is that | THE POLITICAL SITUATION. Major Greenaway and F. A Redmond will meet in the final. They have the same handicap and the match should be a close one.

HANDICAP SINGLES "R"

The two championship matshës played yesterday were not extraordinarily inter esting. Forster had a most strenuous time before he was able to beat M. P. Lo. Lo won the first set, and looked like getting the next when Forster, whose persistency was greater than that of his opponent,

FIRST BOUND-R. D. Cromartie beat snatched the set, out of the fire and won after 19 games had been played Frota C. B. Brown, 6-3, 6-9; F. Lobel w.o. from this point onwards, it was a prolonged. Blakor; Pay-Liont-Commdr, Holborn struggle, both man standing at the base line aad driving. Forster occasionally came up to the not, but his smashes lacked ating, or he would have won earlier. Sixteen games yere played before Forster won the third set. In the fourth sets Forster had the upper hand, byt the match was an inordinately long one.. B. Townsend beat M.. H. Lo without much difficulty He had his opponent tired by his clever placing in the first set, and, thenceforward, did as be liked.

י

Those who watched the Mixed Handicap doubles match were agreeably surprised to find that, in Mrs. Timmis, Major Bowen has a partner with whom he should not and it very difficult to steer himself into the final. Some, indeed, will be inclined to favour their chances of winning the honours this year. Mrs. Timmis has fine service and places very accurately indeed. Yesterday, she and her partner made abort work of Maas and Mrs. Whit marsh."

HANDICAP DOUBLES.

Premier Chin Yun-peng has brought the three striking" ministers to heel, and they are now attending the meetings of the Cabinet. The Premier had the support of General Chang Tso-lin, General Tsao Kup, and the other members of the League of Eight, and has thus developed a strength which was altogether not and cinated by his opponents of the Antu Club, but it does not follow that the fight in ended. According to report, Marshal Tuan Chi-iai, who is well diamond to the Premier, "does not appreciate the fact the the Intter obtained outwide assistance to retain his position, and it is very possible one which will decide whether Chin is that other developments may eventuata er
