JAPANESE DAVIS CUP TEAM T

FINCHER EXHIBITIONS

GOLDMAN

REACH DOUBLES FINAL

OBTAIN EASY WIN YESTERDAY

*(By "Veritas").

Yesterday one could gain a the un-. real impression of fortunate effect the enforced withdrawal of Duff and Sul- livan has had on the doubles tennis championship.

E. C. Fincher, and L. Goldman met Taul Ping-fan and Taui Yun- pul, who were given a walk-over by Duff and Sullivan, and the match turned out to be one of the most unimpressive semi-anais seen for ycare.

As a matter of fact Trol and Taul played good tennis so far as their capabilities and experience permitted, but they were really no match for the opposition who won in straight sets, 7-5, 6-1, 6-2.

ENCOURAGing starT.

After an encouraging start by which they led 5-3 in the first act, the Chinese fell away before the combined net-work of the finalists, and their resistance weakened as the game progressed.

were in

Fincher and Goldman pleasing form, and if they had been anything below it, the losers would most certainly have enptured a sel. Fincher's forehand drive rarely failed him-n new feature thla and Goldman was the nome of steadiness overhead.

After allowing that the opposl- tion was not so powerful as it might have been, one has every reason to belleve that Fincher and Goldman are playing better this year, and that whether they meet the Rum- jahus or Ho Ka-lau and Taul Wal- put in the final, they have distinctly' good chances of winning the title.

Their net attacks compared very favourably with the Rum- Jahns at their best. Fincher volleyed with sustained де curacy: Goldman was seldom at fault in his kills and acutely angled volleys, Thus equipped there could be only one result.

DEFENSIVE TACTICS,

Twoi and Tsui exploited defen- sive tactics so well in the first set, that they were nearly rewarded with its annexatinn. Troi's inbbing was ideal, driving the winners back to the baseline. He shouldered res- ponsibility in at least 60 per cent. of the rallies and came out with flying colours.

H.K.C.C. STAND COURT TO BE USED

· ATTRACTIVE PROGRAMME NOW IN THE MAKING

(By "Veritas"),

Japan's Davis Cup team for 1934 is to play in exhibition tennis on the stand court of the Hongkong Cricket Club on Good Friday afternoon, March 30.

Working

in conjunction with the H.K.C.C., the Lawn Tennis Association is arranging an attractive programme of matches which will enable local tennis enthusiasts to see japan's four leading players in action.

The Davis Cup team comprises Jiro Satoh, already well known in Hongkong, Hidoe Nishimura, Jiro Yamagishi and Jiro Fujikura,

Nishimura, present national singles champion of Japan, is also No. 1 ranking player, while with Yamagishi he enjoys the leading position in the doubles ranking list.

Yamagishi is ranked No. 2 in the singles, and Fujikura, who was seen in Hongkong nearly three years, is No. 3.

BEST TEAM YET

The team is regarded as being the best Japan has yet sent to Europe to challenge for the Davis Cup.

It is hoped that the progamme will include

a singles match between Satoh and Nishimura, a doubles between Nishimura and Yamagishi and Satoh and Fujikura, and a third doubles match in which the winners of the present Hongkong championship will participate.

The Japanese are due to arrive in the Colony on the morning of March 30 aboard the Hakone Maru, and they are scheduled to leave the following day.

Tam's stock is high as a result of his recent performances, and moat people are willing to concede that it is possible for him to beat Ho Ka-lau.

His best chance, of course, is to force the issue to the fifth set. It he gets this opportunity, which I very much doubt, he will probably beat Ho, Nevertheless I expect to see Ho Ka-lau win in the fourth set,
