FIXTURES

TWO UNDEFEATED TEAMS MEET.

CHINESE AND U.S. R. C.

Even though there have only been two lats of matches played in the “A” Division of the Lawn Tennis League, the results to date clearly indicate that the Chinese R. C. "A" combination is by far the best side competing.

The Chinese have played the two Club de Recreio teams and won each fixture by seven sein to two. The Club de Recreio "A" trounced the Kowloon C. C. and although the U.B.R.C. have won both their matches they were only able to win by five sets to four against the Chinese R.C. "B" and by 6% to 3% against the weak Hongkong Cricket Club six.

This afternoon the Chinese R. G. "A" encounter the U.S.R.C. and the lattor should sustain their first defeat by a comfortable margin.

The Club de Recreio "A" will be having a rest to-day,
