HONGKONG HAS CHANCE OF WINNING INTERPORT

Leading Players Are Engaged In Tennis Championship To-day

BODIKER IN SINGLES

(By "Veritas")

Chief interest in to-day's tennis championship programme is the appearance of G. Bodiker, the well known German player, in the first round of the men's singles.

This, I believe, is the first time Bodiker has played in n Colony cham- pionship, and although there was time when he was not regarded as a grass court player of any outstanding ability, his constant association with grass surface during the last twelve montba has placed him in a different category.

Boxliker meets Frank Kwok, the C.R.C. left-hander this afternoon (weather permitting) and there is umal! room to doubt but that he will win in straight sota. In fact, on cur- rent form, Dodiker should experience little dimculty in reaching the semi- ninat

The rest of the programine is de- voted to doubles, mude interesting by the appearance of the Rumjalin cousins, who intend to make n bold bid to recapture the Colony crown lost last year, and the new combina- tion, Taul Wai-pul and Paul Kong, who are regarded as possible winners of the title. Both pairs will win casily to-diny, though lu Taks-lam and Luk Chun-chcung can be relied upon to offer some opposition to Tsui and Kong

(By "The Pilgrim")

News has reached me that the Kowloon Indian Tennis Club intends entering a team in the United Toura- ment, the Colony's latest hockey com- petiton.

Comdr. R. C. T. Roe, secretary of the P.G.A., said that the scheme pro- vided for caddies being allotted by draw to competitors in championships and big tournaments.

Archic Compston, Coombe Hill professional, sald. afterwards:

"Private cuddies are too expensive to take with me to championships. I usually pay my caddie 10s. a day, and have never had any complaints. I have seen some sets of clubs that I would not carry myself for 25 a day."

James Brald (Walton Heath), Ave times Open champion, said: "Never in my championship career have I taken a special caddie. I just took 'pot luck, and Harry Vardon and J. II. Taylor did the same."
