RUMJAHN WALKS AWAY WITH TENNIS TITLE
NERVOUS CASSUMBHOY MAKES POOR FIGHT
ASTOUNDING RECOVERIES BY
CHAMPION
(By “VERITAS".)
OFFERING serious resistance only in the second set,
A. Cassumbhoy failed in his challange to S. A. Rumjahn yesterday for the singles tennis crown of the Colony, and was well and truly beaten in straight sets, the scores reading 6-0, 7-5, 6-2.
In many respects this was one of the most disappointing finals seen for many years. The tennis only touched high standard at rare intervals, the attendance was poor, and the arrangements, I am sorry to add, were quite inadequate and not what one rightly expects for such an important match.
For instance where were the

A confident forecast as to the winners of the Mamak championship is still difficult for yesterday the Radio, by recording a win of two goals to one against their "closest rivals, the 1st H.KS. Battery re-consolidated their position and made amends for the reverse they "received at the hands of the Incognitos on Sunday.
They have one remaining fixture against the 20th Battery and in
this game they should capture the

Battery are four points behind: with three games in hand. The latter have to play the Veteran, Medivay and St. Andrew's.

There was certainly room for much better organisation, and a little forethought on the part of the committee would have met the situation as it should have been.
But this is not to suggest that the absence of linesmen affected the result. That was far too clear-cut,
Rumjahn, profiting from numerous, mistakes on the part of Cassumbhoy, and himself displaying an invulnerable de- fence as well as a fine attack, took sequences of games as though he were knocking up
with a beginner.
Now and then Sirdar was real- ly extended, and a few times beaten outright by a superb shot, --but on the whole he gave the im- pression of having plenty in reserve and perfectly capable of dealing with any dangerous situa, tion which might arise.

In fact he is a much better stylist, hitting the ball more cleanly and using his feet to better advantage.

Up to a point I think Cassumb- hoy played as well as one expected of him, and as well as he possibly could. He certainly fell down in certain phases of the game in surprising manner, such 28 in service, which yielded more double faults than aces, but his ground strokes were at times de lightful to behold..
SAME OLD STORY,
In the second set they were working with a freedom and accuracy which allowed him to keep Rumjahn on the run, and when he broke through to lead 6-3 the odds were on him captur- ing the set. But his nerve failed him at the cruicial period, and Rumjahn went badly into the at- tack and indulged in a typical re- covery,
The reason why Cassumbhoy last the first set to love was that he started weakly and slowly. taking the whole six games to get. his strokes into working order. His third set debacle was the résult of "tails down" consequent on his second set disappointment. Ramjan won the first six games of the match, Cassumbhoy the first, fourth, sixth, seventh and eigth of the second set and the fifth and seventh of the third.
