RUMJAHNS RETAIN TENNIS TITLE

DULL MATCH GOES

TO FIVE SETS

Flacher and Goldman yesterday went much nearer to achieving the impossible by defeating the Rum- jalin cousins in the final of the open doubles tennis championship than was over anticipated, and. could they have displayed a solid front to their opponents when leading by two nets to one, might well have now been the new cham- plons.

As it was, Goldman cracked under the strain, and the Rum- Jahns swept majestically through the remaining two sets to snatch a great victory, and win the title for the eighth year in succession. times, The exchanges were, at extremely dull, and not at all re- flective of the best talent in Hongkong. All four players crred, and it was, therefore additionally bad luck for Fincher that ho should lose his second fun, in view of the fact that he was tho hest player on the court. He covered himself with glory by Gold- splendid defensive work.

The fact that the issue was taken to five sets kept the match interesting. but the play never reached great heights, and was an unhappy criterion of-local tennis standard.

The cousins won the first sut at G-4, breaking through, Coldman's to service in the seventh game assume the lead, but the challen- gers, asserting themselves, earned real set the second

nmid applause, and, getting the cousins thoroughly rattled, went on to claim the third at 6-1.

Mistakes by Goldman in the fourth game of the fourth set, when he and Fincher had a great chance of levelling the scores to 2-all, cost the losers the most important game of the match, and thereafter they were serious proposition, the cousins running away with this and the fifth set with the score of G-1 in nach case.
