(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.

after assuming a 5-4 lead, he became within two points of the match on Lai's service, and then flopped.

He fought against the win- ner's brilliant driving with tigerlsh energy, and when he went to n 4-2 lend in the final set, many were prepared to see him re-establish himself. In the clubhouses in the future, He flattered only to deceive, for many will incline to the
