LOCAL LAWN TENNIS ASSOCIATION

President On Tactics Of Local Players

That the local tennis players did not seem to be able to get out of that paralysing tendency of playing for safety and waiting for the opponent to make mistakes, was the view expressed by Mr. R. E. Lindsell when he presided at the annual general meeting of the Hongkong Lawn. Tennis Association held at the Sanitary Board Room yesterday. Mr. Lindsell sald that the gen- eral rule of the local players was to play on the defence, and gave the advice that the best weapon of defence was attack.

The deaths of Mr. Jiro Satoh, the famous Japanese Davis-

C.P.F. James who had been secretary Cup player and Mr.

of the Association for three years, were also referred to by the President.

MR.

LINDSELL RE-ELECTED

PRESIDENT

Mr. Lindsell. in moving for the adoption of the report and state- ment of accounts said: There is little in the report calling for comment. During the year we have seen some of the leading players of the world in action here: The Japanese Davis Cup team gave a brilliant display and, among them were Jiro Satoh

who

dis tinguished himself and subsequent ly made a name for himself in Europe. It is a very great shock to me to have heard of his death, presumably by suicide on his way to England with the present Japanese team. I desire to ex- "press the regret of this Association to the Japanese community and the world of sport at large at the loss of so prominent a player.

The Weaker Sex

In November. Miss Dorothy Round and Miss Mary Heeley showed how hard and low mem- bers of the so-called weaker sex "can hit the ball nowadays. Theirs was an object lesson to all young players. In this connection I re- gret to find that the standard of our best players' had not improved during the year. At the last meet- fog I emphasised the importance to the game of a good service, but That in itself is net, enough. First class players go for the ball and then try to win their points out- right. Here, I am afraid, we don't seem to be able to get out of that paralysing tendency of playing for safety and waiting for the oppon- erit to make mistakes. In this I am referring to the singles mat- ches. In doubles this is not the same. We do occasionally gett flashes of brilliance such as shown by Lal Kwong Tsun when he beat our reigning champion.

The general rule is to play on the defence and I would like to try and remind, especially the younger generation, in practical ly every form of sport and also in war, that the best weapon of de- fence is attack. I would exhort the younger generation to try and get out of the rut and go for the ball The conditions of the sin- gles games played here seems to endurance me rather a test bi than of skill.

As regards the Interports it is to be regretted that we could not raise a team of men or ladies to go to Shanghai, and they could E ladies' team down here. I can only hope this contest would be fixed this year.

C.R.C. Success

In regard to the League pro- gress the dry summer and the new system enabled the programme to be gone through more expedi- tiously. The competition resulted in a most sweeping, success. for which we congratulate them, for the Chinese Recreation Club. They set up a record which is unlikely to be equalled even by them of winning every diviskin, including the "mixed doubles, without the loss of a single match. It is a marvellous record.

1. feet that I cannot let this oc- casion pass without referring to the loss this Association, and the Colony in general had suffered by the death of Mr. C.P.F. James. He served for three geara sa sec- retary of this Association and was enthusiastic for its welfare and took the keenest interest in the game generally, and was its lead- ing exponent I am sure it is the desire of you all that an expres- sion of our deep regret and syn- pathy with Mrs. James be record- ed in the minutes of this meeting. I am only glad that Mr James know that Ilved long enough to

"I like always to have the ball in front of me, and at ball-back I can do something towards that by playing a defensive as well as an attacking game,

I have been told that it is going to take me some time to settle down to the English style of foot- ball. I have watched English sides in Sectland, and it has struck me that the main difference is that the English prefer the open game, while..we Scots like to keep the ball close and indulge in short passing.
