The programme, which starts at 4.30, will be as follows:

耻

DOUBLES.

4.30 p.m. Jiro Satoh and L Goldman v E. C. Fincher and Ito

SINGLES.

5.10 p.m. Jiro Satoh v E Nunoi

DOUBLES.

5.60 p.m. Nunoi and Ito v S. A. and H. D. Rumjahn

This ensures not only an op- portunity for our leading players to enjoy the experience and bene- fit of playing with and against such doughty exponents, but will mean that the public will see the Japanese players in their true form..

GREAT PROMISE.

Satoh and Nunoi are Japan's best singies players and Nungi and Ito have played a consider- 1 able amount of tennis together.

If the local champions can give as good an exhibition against them they did against Landry and Rodel, the French stara in 1930, then it will be match worth going a long way to see,

Tremendous public interest is being shown in the exhibitions, and already there has been a big rush for bookings at Messrs. Moutries. As the stand capacity is limited to about 500, would-be spectators are advised to book without further delay.

The visitors arrive here at day- break on board the Fushimi Maru to-morrow, and they will be en- tertained by the Japanese com- munity during their short stay in the Colony. They leave for Europe on Saturday morning.

In anite of the rain during the past three or four days, the stand court is in first class condition.

He accomplished It brilliantly and fully Justified the quiet confidence of his supporters.

HO'S PLAN.

Ho indulged in characteristic tennis. His game remained un- changed throughout the three sete. He spent the first getting: his drive into working order and rying to time Fincher's heavily hopped shots, and this gave Ted- dy ample opportunity of scoring rom the net. During this period Ho was completely on the defen- sive, but I rather think it Was part of his plan.

For when the second set started

it was quickly indicated that his forehand drive was at last func tioning correctly, and by means of this he more or less pegged Fin- cher back to the baseline.. From this position Ho was the master, and found it perfectly easy to carry the offensive to the other aide of the net.
