Still, let me put it quite clearly that I think they have still a very good chance of pulling it aft. The Kowloon hatting is just as likely to collapse as their's is, and in my opinion in Minu and Pereira they have the most dangerous pair of opening bowlers in the Colony. To back, then up they have Madar and Baker, while Arthur Rumjahn has an uncly knock of breaking up a stand. I do not think the I.R.C. bowling has ever been as good as it is this season. Their fielding is splendid, and in this the only side that gets near them for all round brilliance is the University. It is most probable that the final decision in this season's Langite will be made on the 25th of March when they play Kowloon at Kowloon. I regret vory sincerely that I shall not be in the Colony to see the match which should be a needle

At this stage also, Tam asserted himself, and adopting a more en- terprising game and taking risks which came off, he delighted the spectators by passing Yew brilliant ly at the net, both by repeated side Line and erosa court forchand drives His backhand was at the same time more subtly employed. He also successfully engaged Yew at base- line play, at which he placed the ball consistently near the corners of the court, Yew's game broke down against this forceful combin- ed attack, and yielded the set after some opposition, but without tak ing another game..

Tam asserted his superiority in the final act, in which the strain of the first two sets affected Yew visib ly. The newcomer opened cautious. ly, took the first game in convincing style, but played badly to lose the second game. Recovering, however, he beat Yew brilliantly by many spectacular drives in the next three gures which he won.
