The only material dif ference between his exhibition and that of his opponents, and the ren son for his casy victories, was his accuracy in placing.
Gordon Lum's display against him in taking four games in the two sets was much more interesting from the ordinary standpoint. Richards was not expected to stand In the court and demonstrate exact. ly how easy the shots brought off by the ordinary good-class amateur were, nor was he expected to rest content at any time with awaiting his opponent's mistakes.
At one time it looked very much as though Hongkong were going to win by a much greater margin than they did. That was when Brace and Finchor were together and runs were coming slowly but surely.
