DOROTHY BREAKS A SHOULDER STRAP

London, June 30,

A broken shoulder strap is attributed by United Press as being a very decisive factor in the remarkable defeat to-day of Miss Dorothy Round, Eng- land's chief hope for the 'women's title at Wimbledon.

SHINE FOR THE RECREIO

IN TENNIS MATCH

(By "Veritus")

A. V. Remedios and J. Gon- salves, who took three sets from U.S.R.C. yesterday in an "A" Division league tennis match, were not only the out- standing personalities of the encounter, but gave a display: worthy of placing them in the forefront of Hongkong's men's doubles partnerships.

For sometime now Club de Heersio has recognised that Remedios and Gonsalves are the two most-improved players in the club, but the public has bail but fleeting opportunities of nink- ing any julmeal. Yesterday it was! left to two pressmen to endorse the club's uplalon.
