NEXT week will see S.A." Rumjahn make his sixth ap- pearance in the final of the open singles tennis cham- pionship, and it will prob ably find him winning the crown for the third time in his career.

He first reached the final stage of the tournament in 1926, when he lost to Honda. "

The following year he beat Ng Sze-kwong in the final 6-0, 7-5, 6-3, In 1928 he 'was again runner-

up to Honda, losing 2-6, 5-7, 6-4, 1-6, and in 1929 -he fell to M. W. Lo in the

last round 1-6.18-6): 5-7.

His next appearance in the final was last year when he 'trounced E. C. Fincher: 6-2, 6-1, 1-6, 6-4.
