AN EARLY AGE

By Frank Foxon

London, Jan. 30.

The two new world's singles champions of table tennis ary buth 17 years old. They are B. Vana (Cxecho-Slovakia) and Miss Trudi Pritzi (Austria).

Finnis at the Wembley Arena on Saturday night drew crowd of nearly 10,000, and much of the play was brillant in the extreme.

There was one exception, the women's singles final, in which Miss Pritzl beat Miss Depetrisovo (Czecho- Slovakia) 21—13, 21–13, 21-17. A section of the crowd got annoyed with the cnullous nature of the play and there was some beoing.
