H. D. Rumjahn, F. Grone, G. W. Sewell, Tauf Wei-put, J. W. Leonard and F. H. Kwok advanced to the third round of the open singles tonnis championship at the Hongkong Cricket Club ground yesterday, while J. J. Borrow and T.

Spectators Backed round the No. V court for the match between II. D. Rumjahn and Leo Wai-tong, the Interport footballer, and were rownrded for their stund in the cold wind by a delightful exhibi- tion of tennia on the part of both players.

Kumfahn must have been rather thankful for these lapses, as he was nover superior in the ruilies, and for the most part relled on quick points. Lee's net work was the weak link in a chain of otherwise sound strokes and good courteraft.
