The unusual sight of a little girl, whose height only allowed her to peep over the top of the net, volleying, backhand, and forehand driving against the Fincher brothers and Bertie Guest, was seen at the Kowloon Cricket Club yesterday, when the Chinese. Recreation Club were the visitors in a Mixed Doubles league match.

She has al- ready mastored the overhead service, and her self assurance on the court is an attribute which number of older and very much more experienced players might profitably be endowed with.

Miss Cheung has started in the right direction at the right age, and although her tennis cannot seriously be claimed to be up to the requirements of to-day's mixed doubles league standard. there, should be a very pleasant and
