SIAMESE PLAY

One Match All At The I.R.C.

The visiting Siamese tennis players were the guests of the Indian Recreation Club yester- day when they were entertain- ed in two doubles matches against the leading nights the Club.

A Constant drizzle prevailed throughout the course of play and the standard was pot as high as .expected..

However

a

In the other match M. D. Hoosen and S. A FGALITAJAL IN IA Secured an easy victory over Na Ranong and Muang Reong Vasantashinha, scores being 6-2, 6-1.

In the first encounter, Sanoh im- pressed with his all-round display. His volleying. baseline, fore and buck hand drives; and his accurate placing in particular, were in no small measure responsible for his couple's triumph.

Prachuab showed His partner that he, too, was no mean expon- ent of the game, but he was not quite up to his compatriot's stan dard.

Of the losers, H. D. Rumlahn was better. Madar was constantly at fault in hitting the ball into the net.

HOOSEN SHINES

The hero of the other match was undoubtedly M. O. Hoosen, the rising player of the LR.C. who only this season has been promoted to play for the club's Arst team in the local League.
