MIGHTY ATOM" CAUSES FIRST TENNIS UPSET

KENNETH SHUTE STAGES

GREAT RECOVERY

OUTPOINTS BIG GER OPPONENT IN OPEN CHAMPIONSHIP

LEONARD'S "CANNY" DISPLAY

(By "Veritas")

Those who daily visit the Hongkong Cricket Club in the hope of seeing surprises in the open" tennia championships made a good start yesterday when they watched schoolboy Kenneth Shutë eliminate M. Dry- sdale, a rapidly improving player, by two sets to one in the first round.

It is not denying Shute the credit: of his achievement by stating that Drgadale beat himself, The K.C.C. player had the match in hand after winning the first set at 0-2, but ho made the mistake thereafter of under- rating his Four Feet Something op ponent by assuming far too much and taking too little trouble In the execution of his shots.

Drysinle played his usual brand of tennis in the first not adopting, a favourite form of attack by driving deeply to Shuto's backhand which he discovered to be a rather nervous and wholly defensive part of the „youngster's equipment.

.

Leonard's win was not so much a surprise as it was against the run of the play.

The rest of the results were in accordance with expectations. Liang and Lee Wal-tong won comfortably without being frightfully impressive. Tollington proved no match for Wong Shuf-wing."

M. W. Lo has found it impossibio to participate in the tournament and has given a walk-over to D. M. Mac- Dougall, who meets Leonord.

The results are as follows:
