SENSATIONAL DEFEAT OF HUGHES AND PERRY

London, July 6.

PREK The "C" Division of the Tennis League Miss Dorothy Round, Britain's made welcome progress yesterday in the No. 1 ranking player is to be the season's programme after persistent hindrance final challenger to Mrs. Helen during recent weeks.

The Kowloon Cricket Club scored another morited victory, although there was little in it, the Filipino Club losing only by the odd met.

An Interesting Incident arose dur- Soeka aad ing this match, when Leonard of the Filipino Club claimed the right to chango positious to re- ceive servico in the course of a set.

The point was contented by the K.C.C. pair, who were, according to the rules of the game perfectly cor rect in their contentiona.

THE RULES,

The rule states quite dellnitely "Partners shall receive the service alternately throughout each game and the order of receiving the service having been decided shall not be altered during the set, but it may he changed at the beginning of a new net.

Rule 34 adds "If during game the .order of receiving is changed by the reccivors it shall remain as altered until the end of the game in which the mistake in discovered, but the partners shall resume their original order of receiving in the next game of that set in which they are receivers of the service.

From this it is perfectly clear that the Filipinos had no right to change their positions in the middle of sol.

It is an Interesting point and one, perhaps, worthy of league players bearing in mind.
