THE CIVIL SERVICE SUCCESS.

There was

only one League match in the. Senior Division last! Saturday, but the result made a considerablo difference League table. If the Civil Service, who now are third, enn seeave a single point to-morrow against the H.K.C.C. they are pretty certain to be bracketed with Crnigen as either equti second, or equal third. There would have to be a very curious series of events to bring about any other result. If, on the other hand, they can bring cfl a surprise win against the Club they will almost certainly be second.

TOURNAMENT.

RUMJAHN EROTHERS TO MEET.

INTERPORTERS AGAIN OPPOSED.

By beating M. K. Lo in the third round of the Open Singles Cham- pionship of the Colony yesterday, C. A. L. Rumjahn has qualified to meet his brother S. A. for the right to enter the semi-final. Their meet- ing will probably be a source of attraction, as both are considered to be in the same class, and they have never before met in any open tournament or exhibition.

Yesterday's match, which was del cided on the Stand Court, did not produce the struggle expected, and ended in an unexpectedly easy win for the Indian by 6-2, 6-2, 6-3, The fast pace of Rumjahn's shots and his speed ou the court contributed towards his victory. Rumjaha gave Lo no chance to find his bearings, and the former's performance could be described in a nutshell as barrage of accurate ghots," which had Ln on his toes most of the time. The latter retrieved many to fine shot from time to time, but Rum- jahn's consistency proved just a bit beyond his opponent's ability to counter-act.

In the same event, Kong Too Cheung, the Shanghai Interporter, also gave a convincing performance in beating Chiu Chun Chin with- out the loss of a act. He now meets T. Honda in the fourth round, and it will be interesting to see whether he can reverse the issue that Honda gained in the last Interport.

Quoting from a recent sermon by Miss Maud Royden she said: "To form part of a right public opinion is a tremendous gain" and stressed the fact. that sympathy for and a genuine interest in, any movement, was equally helpful, in a different way, as giving money for its support.

Miss Shin Tak Hing, for the past six years General Secretary of the Chinese Y.W.C.A., made an excellent speech in which" she outlined clearly the various activities of the Y.W., and stated the great need for funds to procure larger premiacs. The Hon." Dr. R. H. Kotewall also spoke eloquently in the same cause.
