Getting out of tight corners is a specialty with the Chinese lads and with aircos; the destination of eague honours at stake one can be certain they willpit an they, know into the game.
Their fielding as far as I can see is well up to standard, but I am afraid that they have not so many pitchers to call upon to do service, as the Japanese lads. Come-what may this game is sure to be a "hot one" and the result will be very close.

RAIN SHOWER HALTS PLAY
Before the doubles exhibition began a heavy shower of rain poured down, much to the "dis- comfort of the spectators. Hun dreds of onlookers from the un- covered stands rushed to the nor- therm stands for shelter, while the officials and the ground boys got busy drying up the courts.
*2.5m
Kho Sin-kle scored many points. on his ace services while his part- ner, Carson, rendered great sistance with his deadly smaskes at the net. Maurice Benavitch was weak and creátic, though in the latter part of the contest he suddenly showed a spark of hit obtaining several points at criti cal moments.
The crowd was generous, giving applause to "any player" who ex- ecuted a brilliant shot. The first 14- set, as the score 8-8 would dicate, was well fought." Kho and Carson took the second set with ease, giving away only the fourth and sixth games. The third set produced some interesting play but Carson and Kho easily do- minated their opponents.
