When is the tournament com- mittee of the Hongkong Cricket Club, responsible for the con- ducting of the present open. championships, going to assert itself and control spectators in a manner which allows games to be played under proper con- ditions?

Although primarily the blame les with these thoughtless persons, who deserve to be barred from entering the ground for such indecent be haviour, the onus finally rests on the organisers, and it is up to them, to see that the Tuture bears no repeti- tion of such disgraceful scenes.

NOT FIRST.

There were three glaring examples of the troub yesterday, although it was not the at occasion in which the same thing has happened As soon

the Lai-Cassumbhoy match anished crowds rushed across the ground, pushing their way on to the court where Bachiuma and Rumjahn were engaged...

When this match was concluded they swarmed across the next court, where the Iu brothers were taking part in an open doubles tie, impeding the players in such a manner as to upset the equilibrium.

The defeat of Goldman, a "ranking" player, by Tam Yoc-fong, two surprising results in the elimination of Lai Kwong-tsun and Leonard, and the advance into the third round by S. A. Rumjahn and Tsui Wai-pui, were the "plums" of yesterday's tennis in the open singles championship.

The second set saw the complete debacle of Goldman, who, after winn

the third game, seemed to lose heart and made little serious attempt to return Tam's drives which were ever-increasing in pace.

Tam played at his best during this eriod, his ground strokes being first class. He found it unecessary to follow His shots, so that once again we had no opportunity of studying his net play.

In some of the poorest Lennis seen for a long time, Leonard, last year's 'sensation", fell
