DEFEATED.

INDIAN SUCCESSES. ·

· RUSSELL-BROWN WINS AGAIN.

Cassumbhoy and Razack, a pro- mising Indian pair, upset the calen lations of many followers of the game by defeating the Fincher brothers in the Open Doubles Cham- pionship of the Colony yesterday. This was in the third round and the Indian lads won easily by three sets to love. The result came as a great surprise for the Fincher brothers last year proved them. selves one of the most formidable combinations in the Colony and were expected to go a long way

in the current tournament.

Yesterday, however, they gave a very poor exhibition. Cassumbhoy and Razack, on the other hand showed a marked improvement on their form last year and conceded seven games only in the match.

They now meet the winners of Prata and Souza, the Portuguese pair, and Col. Russell Brown and Forster, who are playing to-day. On form, they should be able to get through either pair and qualify to play the Rumjahns in the semi-

final

On the Stand Court, 3. A. Rum- jaha did very well in heating M, W. Lo in straight sets and thus enters the semi-final of the Open Singles to meet the winner of Honds and

TRADE UNIONS STRONGER

MORE STRIKES BUT FEW STRIKERS.

EMIGRATION FIGURES.

The growth of trade unions was the outstanding labour development in the Philippines during 1926, atates the Manila Times.

Proof of the growing influence of labour unions it to be found in the greater number of strikes backed by them. Offcial statistical data show that of the 27 strikes declared last year, only three were declared by non-unionista. This compares with 18 strikes declared by labour unions and vs by non-unionists during the year previous.

One interesting detail must "not Mr. Ore will be left unsaid, however, and that be asiated by Mrs. R Sauger is while there were (soprano), Mr. H. E.

ENCROACHMENT ON CON- SULAR AUTHORITY.

Ignoring the Consular authority of the Treaty Powers, their Lord- ships of Shanghai's Extraordinary Provisional Court on Friday com- menced a new system of issuing summonses to plaintiffs in casea coming before the Court.

In the past it has always been the practice to issue summonses or subpanacs to any Court, whether Consular or Mixed, through the respective Consular Bathorities of the person so summonsed or sub- panned.

Apparently seeing in this method some infringement of China's much quoted sovereign rights," the Provisional Court has now com direct to plaintiffs, who in the event menced to serve these summonses of non-compliance with the irregular procedure will be non-suited, and the case thrown' aut.
