TSUI WAI PUI BEATS LAI KWONG TSUN

BUT RUMJAHN LOSES FIFTH

SET TO BODIKER

་

HONGKONG LEADS TWO SETS TO LOVE IN DOUBLES: LEFT UNDECIDED (From Our Own Correspondent)

(By Telephons)

Canton, Nov. 12. HONGKONG made a glorious effort to snatch the tennis Interport from Canton yesterday, when, after facing a deficit of two rubbers, Tsui Wai-pui beat Lai Kwong-tsun in a fivo set duel, and S. A. Rumjahn forced George Bodiker to the fifth sot. But Bodiker proved his master after a wonderful game, and clinched the final set to love, and with it the Interport honours.

The doubles encounter was left undecided, with Họ Ka-lau and H. D. Rumjahn leading by two sets to love and 2-3 in the third set. Canton thus won the contest, and retained the trophy by three rubbers to one, Lai Kwong-tsun and Bodiker having won their initial singles last Saturday.
