(By "Veritas")

NG Sze-kwong, veteran of the Hongkong tennis courts, whose effort to stage a "comeback" in the tennis championship this year gave a romantic tinge to his appearance in the tournament, yesterday, in company with his young partner, Tsui Wai-pui, fell by the wayside, when they opposed the Rumjahn cousins in the third round of the open doubles and were thoroughly beaten 6-1, 6-3.
