Recreio's Tennis Championship Hopes Fade

As They Lose 6-3 To The

DISAPPOINTING GOSANO AND REMEDIOS

K.C.C. AND C.R.C. NOW CHIEF CONTENDERS

That the Chinese Recreation Club remains one of the most likely teams to win the "A" Division tennis league championship was demonstrated yesterday, when they beat Club de Recreio, hitherto rated as the best balanced team in the division, by six sets to three, Reerelo's hopes of winning the alty by five sets to four, the U.S.R.C. 1engue

This would probably then entille the Portuguese to figure in a play-off, ussuming, of course, that the C.R.C. and K.C.C. won the re- mainder of their matches.

But the loss of such a vital tie has, sealed to all intents and purposes, the fate of the Recreio, and it is very unlikely that they will finish better than second,

Chief disappointment for Recreio yesterday was the failure of A. V. Gosano and F. J. Remedios to win or even share a set. A. V. Remedios and J. Gonsalves showed nler form in winning two sels, but the team as

whole fell below expectations.

Wung Shui-wing and Luk Ding-cheung did precisely what was expected of them by beat ing Gosano and Remedios.

SHANGHAI MEN READY TO SUBDUE HONGKONG'S STRENGTH

Only Hongkong has accepted the Invitation of the Shanghai Amateur Swimming Association to participate in the Interport to be held in Shanghai on August 26, 27 and 28, both Tientsin and Kobe being unable to muster strong and sufficiently repre- sentative teams,

The Shanghai team will make strenuous endeavours to win, for out of the nine encounters between Shanghai and Hongkong since the inception of Interport swimming in 1909, the Colony have won seven and the local team only two, observes the North China Daily News.
