SURPRISING ELIMINATION OF J. A. CASSUMBHOY

HOARE'S CA-CANNY DISPLAY

(By "Veritas"),

WILTING before some of the hardest driving seen on the Hongkong Cricket Club since the visit of Aragon the Philip- pines ace in 1930, S. A. Rumjahn, holder of the Colony's singles championship yesterday bowed his head in defeat to Lai Kwong- tsun, a huge crowd of spectators, almost stunned with the enormity of Lai's performance, watching the Indian's resistance gradually weaken until he was compara- tively outclassed.

The Vanguished.

The exit of a champion is always a sad sight, and Rumjahn's futile struggle against the inevitable was pathetic. It was a Rumjahn who at no period of the match had complete control over his shots, and when in the second set, Lai found a magical touch, Sirdar's defeat became largely a matter of time.
