In the open singles, Fincher easily. eliminated S. S. Hussalo, who was no match for the Kowloon player. Fincher won as he liked.

Chong Tuck-wing of the University also had a fairly easy task in wreat ing victory from V. M. Tregoar, who went down in three straight sets.

The Japanese ex-champion, T. Honda, engaged in a tussle with T.

San-and won by 6-1, 6-1, 7-5. San made a poor display in the first and second sets, employing only the back hand stroke, which seldom troubled Honda. A change of tactics in the third set, coupled with some enter prise, resulted in San getting a load of two games from Honda. There after Honda appeared, to be troubled by San's frequent visit to the net. The score was very close throughout this set, San leading by the odd game and Honda equalising all through un- til 5-5 was called, when Honda broke through and won the set at 7-5,

The full scores of yesterday's games are as follows:

Open Singles:Chong Tuck-wing | beat V. M. Tregear, 0-1, 6-2, 6-2, T. Honda beat T. K. San, 6-1, 6-1, 7-5. C. Fincher beat S. S. Hussain 3-0, Handleny singles "A":-Capt. E. H. J. Larcom (rec. 4/8) beat A. E. Greensmith (rec. 15/1), 0-4, 6-4. W.
