DRAW MADE IN COLONY TENNIS CHAMPIONSHIPS

TSUI WAI PUI TO MEET LEE IN SINGLES

Good Early Round Matches Promised

THE DRAW IN THE OPEN TENNIS CHAMPIONSHIPS HAVE BEEN MÅDE AND A GLANCE THE EARLY ROUNDS. THROUGH THEM WILL GIVE THE INDICATION THAT EVEN IN SOME EXCEPTIONALLY GOOD MATCHES SHOULD BE SEEN.

Dealing with the singles Brst, one not unnaturally looks to see, before anything else, who the holder is drawn against. Tsui Wai-put will meet his club-mate, II. N. Lee, and although the latter is not expected to win, the general opinion is that he will put up a good fight.

The most interesting match in the first round promises to be that between H. D. Rumjaha and Luk Chun-cheong while the game between J. W. Leonard and D. J. N. Anderson also ought to go the full three sets. The Teul brothers are not de- fending their title in the doubles as "Yan-pui" will not be in the Colony for, the tournament. As a

BACK FROM CUP-TIE TO LEAGUE

Charlton's Quick Recovery

From Loss Of Form

For one week only the footballers of the leading clubs were switched back from Cup to League affairs, writes a Remo zage respondent. The games which intervene between the third and fourth rounds of the Cup competition are regarded by suppor- ters and officials of the clubs as vitally important. On the one hand, there is the fear that the players of the clubs which fall- ed in the Cup competition will be depressed. On the other hand, there is the hope, among the clubs successful in the third round of the Cup, that the victories in that competition will have a tonic exect.

The evidence under these heads, as shown by the results re- turned was not wholly convincing. Some of the teams knocked out of the Cup showed that this experienéë had not depressed them unduly, while others falled to reveal that sustained inspira tion had come to them from a triumpb, even though unerpect- ed, in the Cup competition.
