irs. Tottenham and Miss Lo, by their superior driving, came out victorious without the loss of a set. Most of the games went to deuce, however, and points were generally won only after more than half a dozen exchanges. In service the Hong Kong players did not have the visitors any advantage over and this also applied to volleying as a whole. The only difference be tween the two pairs was that Mra Tottenham and Miss Lo generally succeeded in putting more ating into their drives. Miss Crawford was the more reliable of the visitors, but Miss Firth was better at volley- Mrs.ing.

The contest between' Rumjalin and Wade was by far the most interest ing tie in the men's singles. It was exciting all through, as the result of the Interport reated on the out- ceme and also because the rallies Rumjan rightly de: were, loag. served his victory for he employed the right tactics against Wade, who was in excellent driving form. Is fact. Wade was at the top of his season's play. He hit hard right from the start of the second set, but it seemed to the spectators that he could not last the pace if the match went to the full five sets, and this opinion was justified for in the final stanza Rumjahn had enough in resorve to win the match.

HOME FOOTBALL RESULTS.

CHANGE IN SECOND DIVISION LEADERSHIP.

OLDHAM ATHLETIC DISPLACE BLACKPOOL.

GLASGOW RANGERS DRAW.

Saturday's patches in the First Division of the English League - provided close competition, home and away teams each gaining four wins and three matches being drawn. With the exception of Leicester and Newcastle, who were successful in checking the visitors on one-geal gained by good scores, all the other victories were margins.

" Oldham Athletic, one of the eight teams successful on home grounds, displacid Blackpool at the top of the Second Division table.

High scores were registered in the Third Division, Coventry in the Southern Section delented Gillingham by five goals. The majority of the matches were drawn and only one visiting team gained full points. Suuthport in the Northern Section heat Rotherham by seven goals to one, which was the highest score of the day.

The Glasgow Rangers shared the paints with Clyde, and Aber- deen regained the leading position they lost the previous week.

Results of matches as cabled by Reuter and revised League tables follow: -.

A Kean Match, Speculation was rife "when Paul "Rong and Honda went on the court to contest the third singles. Kong had made a good impression in the second doubles, and as his drive was in good working order many thought that he could come out one better than Honda in a singles match, but latter Birmingham... promptly dispelled this illusion. Blackburn for he not only outstandied but Grimsby outdrove his opponent. Kong made the mistake of trying to beat Honda at his own game and also did not make as full a use of his backhand cut as he might have done.. How ever, he put up a good show.

the

At the start of the match, the Hong Kong player aced Kong twice and although the latter took the next, Honda was superior in the re- maining six games, taking five to win the set at -2 Kong fought determinedly in the third frame and drew ahead at 4-3 but Honda, steadying himself, took the next two for a 5 lead and eventually came out the winner 7-3.

The Play.

The first set went by a love sture, raostly owing to erratic play by Rumjaha. However, the latter settled down immediately as the start of the second chapter and al though he was down at 2-3 and 3-4, owing to the accuracy of Wade, he jumped into the lead at 4 and eventually took the set at 7-5.
