DRAMA OF THE FINAL SET
PERRY 5-2, THEN 5-5, FINALLY WINS AT 8-6
Forest Hills, Sept. 12. Frederick John Perry of England is still champion tennis player of the world. To-day he retained his United States title, beating Wilmur Allison of America, in the final after a five sot match, the scores reading 6-4, 6-3, 3-6, 1-6, 8-6. In the course of twelve months, Perry has won the United States championship twice, the Australian and Wimbledon titles, and has failed in only one important championship meeting-in Paris this year, when he lost to Von Cramm after injuring himself.
Right through the championship just concluded Perry played as though he was destined to win. True, he had an unusually easy passage in view of the array of American talent, his only two serious opponents prior to the final being Clifford Sutter and Vernon Kirby. The former he beat in the quarter-finals in three straight sets, and the South African fell, before him in the semi-final in four sets.

'(By "Varitua”);
The formation of a Hong- kong badminton lengue has been mooted, and to-morrow week, a meeting of clubs will be held to consider the pro- position.
The suggestion of a league is the natural outcome of the en- couraging interest in, and the development of, the game last winter, when some half a dozen clubs participated in matches.
So quickly has the game become popularised here, that it is felt on all hands that the time is ripe to organise it for the bencilt of the ever-increasing number of players adopting badminton as their chlef Indoor recreation during the winter months,
Indications are that several new clubs will come into being early Ire the autumn, while such soundly- established clubs as the K.C.C., Recrelo, St. Andrew's and Jockey. Club are certain to develop.

Ho continually defeated the American's efforts to force the pace with sustained accuracy off the ground. Allison was unable to close into the.net owing to Perry's immaculate passing shots which left the challenger standing.
With his opponent pegged back on the baseline, Perry found plenty of opportunity for himself raiding the forecourt, and whenever he did
