TENNIS LEAGUE TEAMS,

The following will represent the Kowloon Cricket Club in league tennis matches on Saturday after- noon, at four o'clock.

The first and second sets were the best of the match. Both play-2 ers seuled down at thee and some very attractive tenus. tactics were seen. Ramjahu playing with great er force and accuracy took the score to 4-2, making it 53 two games later.

Some Contrasts. The difference between the two players was clearly marked, Ram- jahi beat his opponent on the run of play in the first set.
