Champions since 1925 the Rumjahn cousins will be expected to retain their title this afternoon when they meet Ho Ka-lau and W. C.

Followers of the game in the Colony have now become s accustomed to seeing the Rumjahns win that even if the opposition were considered sufficiently strong to justify expectations of the cousin's defeat there would still be many who would pin their faith in the holders.
