Bly tennis to-day is a business proposition. The open competitive Beld has become the hunting ground for all sorts of concerna dabbling in sports, and the players, themselves an integral part of these tournaments, cannot avoid the influences.

The International Federation 2hus apparently recognised that, with the exception of a few, it is economically- impossible for a Arst class player to spend twelve months of the year taking part in tennis tournaments just for tho fun of the thing. Their remedy is to reduce the player's opportunity Incidentally, it is presumed, do something to remove the tempta- tion for transgressing the spirit, and in some cases, the letter of the governing the amateur

BADMINTON IN SINGAPORE

Open Mixed Doubles Championship

Singapore, July 23. The following were the results of the quarter finala. of the open mixed doubles of the Singapore Badminton Association:

Goh Keng Siang and Miss Ta! Aye Weng bout Sinh Eng Kee and Miss Helen Wong, 21-16, 10-21, 21-9,

Tan Chee Hock and Miss Wong Siew Wing beat Eddie Wee and Miss Mary Lim, 21–18, 18—21, 21-7.

Unhappily one is not inclined to be too sanguine regarding the 2 success of such an aim.

Far better would it be for the governing body to recognise the Ainevitable existence of what is known as "shamateurism", and legislate for its control, meeting the present-day position half way, and preventing alses of it.

MISS JACOBS'

FRIGHT

AGAINST MISS J.

INGRAM

མ་

London, July 3. The heroine of the ladies' matches of yesterday was unques- tionably Miss Jenn Ingram. Sho had to face the girl, ffas Helen Jacobs, who is top of the seeded class, and was unbeaten in the re- cont Wightman Cup contest, and emerged from the ordeal with in- finite credit, although outplayed at the fish mainly because she was camo known that she was holding just about tired out. When it be her own against the player who noeme to stand the best chance of succeeding Mrs. Moody as cham pion there was a regular stampede for the court, No. 3, on which they were playing, and as it is not too well equipped for the reception of a throng there was soon very little room round the court anywhere.

In the Arst set Miss Ingram was 0-3, down before she launched her first offensive. It carried her to 4-3 and home (after 4-4) ht 64. I ought perhaps to say that thero was a decidedly troublesome wind, but that it did not appear to trouble one more than the other, Mias Ingram is a fine volleyer. She did not fancy a baseline duel against auch a steady and severe hitter as Miss Jacoba, ko she took hor volleying risks bravely and made them pay.

MISS JACOBS PUT OUT OF POSITION.

In the second set she was using! the short, and rather slow,-angled ahat across in order to put Miss Jacoba out of. position, and then shooting the ball to the vacunt aldo, often by means of a volley which left Miss Jacobs insufficient time to get arrows. Mainly in this way and also because she achieved some fine straightforward drives and forceful smashes, she pulled it from 2-1 down in the second

set

within a point of 5-1. But sho to 4. and was actually

lost that ninth gume-just a bit unluckily as fur as I could see- and Miss Jacobs, showing her asun determination in a crisis, was out at 6-4.

By now the page, had begun to tell upon both of them, but Miss Ingram was clearly the less it for the third-set struggle of the two. The tactical skill by which sho had previously been circumvent- Ing Misa Jacobs Was no longer forthcoming and Miss Jacobs sail. ́ed home u anfe, but not really un day, winner of the final set.

HOCKEY ASSOCIATION ANNUAL MEETING

Review Of Season

The annual general meeting of tho Hongkong Hockey Association was held last evening in St. Andrew Church Hall, with Mr. E. W. Hamilton (President) in the chair.

Briefly commenting upon the to port, the chairinan sald that they could look back on what has bean done during their first year and feel that the formation of the Association had been justified. It was a body which they hoped would run the game of hockey for the convenience of everybody concomed.

The accounts showed a balanco of $27 apart from $100 which they did not know much about. He explained that this sum was the balance due to the Navy from their guarantes for the Malayan visit and they did not yot know what was to be done with the money; whether they were to keep it or whether it was to be refunded to the Navy.

Speaking of the Interporis, tho chairman said that tỉ by had managed to finance them very satisfactorily. This was possiblu chiefly through the amasing work done by the chairman of the Committes (Mr. A. A. Dand) and the Indefatigable Ilon. Secretary (Mr. F. A. Kemp). :

Referring to the departure of Com. F. B. Leigh the chairman said that it was impossibló adequately to say how much they owed him. He worked untiringly and they owed him a deep debt of gratitude.

The report reviewed the past sonson in dotail, from the Inauguration of the association on June 22, onwards.

The following officials were elected for the ensuing your:

President, Mr. E. W. Hamilton; Vice Presidenta, Commodore Frank Ellott (Navy), Col. Yates Morris (Army) and Mr. A. A. Dand (Civilians); Ilon. Secretary, Mr. F. A. Komp; "Hon. Treasurer, Mr. A. M. Xavier, Mem- bors of the Council are nominated by clubs in aliation to the Associa
