Taui Wai-pui beat H. D. Rum-

Taui Wai-pui yesterday pur sued his triumphant progress through the 1936 - Colony singles tennis championship to a logical and fitting conclusion when he beat H. D. Rumjahn in the final, after a match which fell somewhat below expectations because of the ! comparative poorness of the loser.

The

title has never been more meritoriously won. After using the first four games to judge the pace of the court and the strength of the opposition, Tsul proceeded to domin ate the match. Even when he was 4-1 down in the second set he con- tinued with his imperturbable tennis, and found an answering shot for everything that Rumjohn sent over.

VALUABLE POINTS FOR WOLVES

Because of this Tsul was not forced to play his best brand of tennis, al- though one could not fail to be im- pressed with

court-craft and wonderful variety of strokes. C. A. L. Rumjahn, one of the astutest players ever to appear in Hongkong never mixed them better or more effective- |ly,

Tsul's big advantage was that he possessed strong running shots. That was why' drop-shots held no terrors for him and why he always beat Rumjahn to the forecourt. Further- mere, Tsul was doubly as reliable off the ground in baseline duels, making Rumjahn's most accurately placed shots appear as innocuous as a pat- boll.
