FAREWELL TO THE INTERPORTERS

SHANGHAI LEFT LAST NIGHT

WADE'S MESSAGE OF THANKS

(By "Veritas").

To the exchange of cheers and musical honours the Shanghai Interport tennis team steamed out of the Kowloon wharf on board the President Jefferson last night at the conclusion of their auccessful visit.

A goodly number of local tennia enthusiasts gathered on tho bont

an hour before sailing and bid the Shanghai players farewell. Included in the party wero Mr. C.P.F. James (Hon. Secretary, (Hon. L.T.A.), Mr. D.S. Green Treasurer), Mr. S.A. Gray (Hon. E.C. League Secretary), Messra Fincher, S.A. Rumjahn and Taul Wal-pui of the Hongkong Inter- port team, Mr. Ng Sze-kwong, a former Interporter, and many others.

A few words of appreciation for all that had been done for them were uttered by Mr. John L. Wado, the visiting captain on behalf of the Shanghai team, who drank to the health of the Hong- kong LTA. Teddy Fincher in acknowledgement led the gather- ing in cheers for Shanghai,

PURPOSE ACCOMPLISHED.

In a parting message, Mr. Wnde said he would like, through these columns to thank any of those whom he had forgotten for all that had been done for the Shang- hai team during their stay in Hongkong.

"We have had a very good time, and the eup has been taken back to Shanghai. But when you come to Shanghai next year

we shall certainly do our best to treat you as kindly as you have us this year.

"In 1929 I thought we had a team good enough to beat Hongkong on their Own ground, but we met with re- verse. This year We came down hoping to do better, and it is a source of great satis- faction to me, playing in my Inst Interport, to have seen the accomplishment of our purpose.

MUSICAL HONOURS.

"I cannot speak too highly of all: that has been done for us. From the moment we landed the officials of the Lawn Tennis Association gave us their attention and looked after us in such a way that I really don't know how to adequately thank them.

.....

"All I can say is that when your players next come to Shanghai we shall do our utmost to reciprocate your kindness."

I see no adequate reason for any change. If any reformation is needed in the game it is in the Foot Foult Rule, which, as it stands at present, is unsatisfactory and aggravating to both players and spectators.
