THE CHINESE INTERPORT,

HONOURS EVEN ON FIRST

A GROWING " LOCAL - PASTIME.

DAY,

Considerable interest is being centred in the Chinese Interport now in progress at the Chinese Re- creation Club. It is the first of ita

kind to be staged here and the Club, who has done much in the way of organising really first-class matches, deserves bearty support for their enterprise.

Siezing the opportunity of Ong's presence in the Colony last week they located Khoo Hooi. Hye at Saigon and after incurring consider able expense succeeded in persund- ing him to visit Hong Kong, Ong, who had booked to leave last week end, very sportingly prolonged his stay on hearing of Khoo's intention.

Comparing Standards.

So Hong Kong has now an op portunity of judging the standard of play in Malaya. Khoo Hoo Hye, who is admittedly the better of the two visitors, first came into promin. ence in 1991 when he made his debut in the Malaya Championship, be coming running-up in his first year. In 1993 he won the Championship for the first time. Since then he has been champion in 1923, 1926, and 1927. In 1994 he went to Wim bledon, and last year he lost his title to Clerc.

He has also held the Singapore title since 1993,

Ong Ee Kong. Ong Ee Kong is also a champion of some repute. His native town is Kuala Lumpur, and in 1925 he reached the final of the Open Cham- pionship. In the following year he captured the title and has held it ever since.. He was successful in winning the championship of F.M.S. in 1897 and 1928. He met Khoo in 1927 in the final of the Malayan Championship, but lost in straight

sets.

First Matches. Two of the Interport matches were decided yesterday, and honours were evenly divided. To-day M. W. Lo and Ng Sze Kwong will meet Khoo Hooi Hye and Ong Eo Kong, while the last two matches will be played to-morrow, Khoo Hooi Hye meeting M. W. Lo and Ong Ec Kong meet ing Ho Ka Lau. Play starts at 4.30 p.m. each day.
