SPLENDID PLAY IN SHANGHAI TOURNEY

WIN IN FOUR SETS

Shanghai, Sept. 30. Gordon Lum and Guy Cheng yesterday

Shanghai's gave foreign tennis stars a lesson in the value of persistent and calm elfort. Through those qualities they easily outplayed Maurice Benavitch and Lewis Carson and defeated them for the S.L.T.A. men's doubles title 6-2, 6-3, 4-6, 6-2,
