"SIRDAR" & LAI FOR TENNIS FINAL

FORECAST INFLUENCED BY PRESENT STAGE OF CHAMPIONSHIP

TO-DAY'S IMPOSING ARRAY OF TALENT

(By "VERITAS")

From the results of to-day's and to-morrow's programme we shall have a pretty sound indication of the finalists for the open singles championship next month.

All of the "possibles" are appear. ing in important matches during the next thirty six hours, including Tui Wai-pui, S. A. Rumjahn, L. Goldman, Tam Yoc-fong and Lai Kwong trung.

J.W. Leonard v D.H. Hazoli Tsui Wal-pui v HJ. Armstrong

Tsui Wal-pui should win comfort- ably this afternoon, after which will come his supreme teaf, his first clash

with S. A. Rumjahn in the open cham-

pionship.

Despite Hachiuma's pleasing pro- gress, it is not reasonable to presume that he is goed enough to eliminate "Sirdar" Rumjahn. The present champion is playing good tennis just now, and it is perfectly true that the more he plays the better lie becomes, as one of his colleagues expressed it the other Jay

In 1 high-acoring cricket match with an exciting finish, the Volunteers defeated the Royal Navy by two wickets on the Hongkong C.C. ground yesterday. For their victory the Volunteers had L. D.
