THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH. THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1937.

When Are German Tennis Aces Due Here?

(Ur "Abe")

Though it is definite that Baron Gottfried von Cramm, Henner Henkel and Fraulein Horn, the German tennis players, will be passing through Hongkong short- ly on their way to Australia to take part in the Aus- tralian championships next month, conflicting reports have been received as to their date of arrival in Hong- kong.

From Australia comes information { to the effect that the Germans will be going to the Antipodes from Japon by the E. nad A. Haer Tanda. In- quiries ma le at the E. and A. offices yesterday revented at the Tandn will not rench Hongkong until De- cember 1, and this conalls with the report that the Gemuns will arrive in Hongkong on November 20.

Mr. C. J. Tacchi, Hon. Secretary of the Hongkong Lawn Tennis Asso ciution, tella me that the Cermanı team will arrive in port on November 20, but he has no information regard- ing what steamer they will be travel- ing.

Manila reports state the Germans will give exhibitions in that city o November 20. If this statement Is correct, it la likely that the Germans will be here on November 26.

I have studied the Fist of vessels due here on that date and find that the Kumo Maru will nrrive on that day from Japan, bound for Austenia. Therefore, if the date given to the Hongkong L.T.A. Is right and if Mont- Ja is correct, it is very probable that von Cramm and Co. will be here on November 20.

However, the NY.K. have received no news regarding the passengers on board the Kamo Muru.

Which leaves as no wiser than be. forel
