TITLE ASPIRATIONS BEGIN TO FADE

Kowloon Cricket Club's “A”| Division championship aspira- tions were given a horrid jolt yesterday when, playing on their own courts, they were beaten by Club de Recreio 7% set to 12. A little time ago Recreio were beaten by C.R.C., who are thus very strongly placed to retain the title they have won consistently for many years past.

Though it was generally conteded that Recrelo algod a very good chance of winning yesterday, the

Another time the visiting umpire gave one out 1.b.w. When his brother followed on later the umpire was per- plexed. He sent for the other brother before he was satisfied.

PARKER PLAYS HIS FINEST GAME

Budge Beats Austin

PLAY DESCRIBED

Frankic

Parker, America's youngest Davis Cup player, and famous protege of Mercer Beasley, the brilliant American coach, rose nobly to the occasion when he opposed Charles Hare of Britain in the vital Davis Cup tie at Wimbledon yesterday, and, playing the best game of his careor, beat the Englishman in straight sets to win back the Cup for United States.

'Subsequently, with nothing vital altached to the result, Donali Budge continued his triumphant way by beating H. W. Austin after a four-set match,

Thus the Davis Cup, donated by Mr. Dwight Davis, returns to United States after an absence of 11 years.

A crowd of ten thousand excited and expectant enthusiasts gathered at the Centre Court yesterday to watch Parker play the finest tennis of his career, says a United Press message,

The American surprisingly crashed past Hare, the young Englishman who on Saturday had forced Budge to a 15-13 rst set, to win 0-2, 6-4, 6-2. Parker attacked relentlessly and even backhand Was his usuni wenk powerful and accurate set,

WON CONVINCINGLY

Hare rallied only in the third and seventh games of the first set, but in the second set, Parker broke through Hare's service in the third game. Hare started off the third set in great style, sweeping through Parker's ser- vice for the first time to win the second game to love. Hare did this spectacular by some brilliant and smashing and volleying. Thereafter Parker regained command of the ex- and changes and won convincingly deservedly.

With the destination of the Cup ulready settled, much of the interest was taken away from the final en- counter between Budge and Austin. whether Austin Chlef Interest was could stop the American's remarkable run of successes which he has en- joyed since landing in England some two months ago.
