FINCHER AND HUNG COMBINATION ENGLAND DEFEAT MINIATURE

TOO GOOD FOR VETERANS Winners' Advantages Of Youth And Superior Services

Gallant veterans, and survivals of many a battle in the past. the Lo Brothers, M.K.,and 3LWV., made their exit from the Colony Open Doubles Championship at the Hong Kong Cricket Club yesterday when W. C. Hung and E. C. Fincher beat them in surprisingly short time by scores of 6-3, 6-4.

Decisive though the winners' victory was, however, the game was never too one-sided to be unin teresting and the brothers gave good account of themselves.

Chief factors in their defeat were the youth (comparatively speaking in the case of Fincher) of their opponents, the latters' vast- ly superior overhead and net work, and the fact that the brothers unfortunately never found their best form at the same time.

His service was very good and often the spin e imparted on the ball made returning it to any given spot a matter of the utmost diff culty for Wel. Lee would do well. to remember, however, that others

W. had fallen of 30 per cent. on his earlier standard, and it was largely due to the latter circumstance that there was not a better finish. for the brothers were leading by 4-3 in the second set, with service to follow.

The result was that, by playing the right man at the right time. Hung and his partner eased things considerably for themselves.

"M.W" PLAYS WELL The opening four games went with service and then, chiefly through Hung putting on pressure, and repeated lapses on the part of M. K. Lo, the winners ran away with the next three.

Playing determinedly, however, M. W. Lo pulled them back to 3-5 but, again. weak play by his brother lost the next game for the

set.

The brothers started the next set with a rush, helped to some extent by over-hitting by Hung. and M. K. was obviously judging the ball better. Flacher put in some good work about now, how- ever, and with Hung steadying down, they were brought back to 2-2 and lost the next game vo trail again.
