Free Lances suffered an unexpected blow at Club de Recreio last evening when they lost to Recreio "B" by five Rames to four in a mixed doubles lengue match.

They were without the assistañer of E. L. II. Shute, and this madé some difference to their chances. But the big surprise, was that after they had beaten Recreio's Best pair, A. L. Fisher and Miss Mackenzie half to the third string.

SCHOOL TENNIS

Pupils Draw With The Masters

FINE_SHOWING AT D.B.S.

(By "Veritas")

The progress made in tennis by the pupils al Diocesan Boy's School was amply demonstrated yesterday when, in the annual Boys v. Masters malch, they held the adults to a draw for the first time in this annust series of matches.

Actually the boys won the doubles by 5% sets to 35, but this year a programme of singles games was added, and this the masters won by 4 to 2, thus making the total scores | 71% to 7%.

Nevertheless the pupils played so strongly that after the first three- singles they reached a stage when they could not lose the match. In golf parlance they became domy four.

Then, after the masters had won the next three singles, the Inst game was put into court with the boys leading by a single set. The Brule was a fiting climax to a splendid

encounter,

YAMAGISHI. COMING TO COLONY?

TENNIS STAR SAID TO BE ON WAY TO PHILIPPINES.

(By "Veritas"}

When the N.Y.K. Kilano Maru arrives in Hongkong to-morrow she will probably bring with her Jiro Yamagishi, the crack Japanese Davis Cup player. who was last seen in action on Colony courts in 1035.

Yamagishi, who is singles and doubles champion of Japan, and easily the most outstanding player in that country, is said to be en route to Manila with another of his com- patriots. They have been invited by the Philippine Islands Lawn Tennis Liem, Sick-liang, opposed to Mr. Association to represent Japan in the Lau actually led 4-1, but was over-All-Comers tennis championships, hauled and in the end lost by 7-5.

The masters owed a great deal to A. Crawford, the known

well

K.C.C. player, who helped to win three doubles and also triumphed in his singles, though he was taken to ten Eumes by Hul Sal-fun...

The headmaster, Rev. C. D. R. Sargent, played very well to win his singles against W. Lau, but he was less successful in the doubles, losing two and drawing one.

The complete results were!

DOUBLES

Llem Stek-liang and Lew On-sing (Puplis) drew with Rev. C. B. R. Sargent and Mr. Basis G-6: beat Mr. Luard and Mr. Monks 6-0: lost to Mr. | Lau and Mr. Crawford 3-6.

It is hoped that the vessel, will re- main in Hongkong long enough to permit Yamagishi and his fellow player to have a knock up either at the Cricket Club or the K.C.C. The LT.A. are being informed of the arrival of these two distinguished players, and if it is possible they will make arrangements for them to play here.

Yamagishi, natural successor to the late Jiro Satoh ns Japan's lead- ing exponent of tennis, enjoyod a rapid rise to fume the tennis courts. He has twice visited Europe as a Davis Cup player and has given very worthy performances against some of Europe's leading amateur players.

Any- way Miss Barros became more active in goal, but was again beaten when Miss Sybil Dalziel got in a neat fick shot, Recreio were kept strictly on the defensive until the interval.

Miss Olive Dalziel was effective on the right wing, but her sister was somewhat erratic in shooting. I also noticed that she wanted to take the ball right into the goal and lost several chances of utilising her powerful hit when she got in the elrele,

Miss Mota at right back played a skliful game for Recreio, but both she and her partner were inclined to lie back and crowd Miss Barros in goal.

Though she tried to do her best at centro-forward, Miss Bradbury was too slow in swinging the ball to her wings, and both Miss Smith and Miss Dalziel suffered accordingly, Mrs. Brown, playing at centre-half for the winners, did not hit the ball hard enough, though her defensive work was excellent.
