S. A. RUMJAHN IN SEMI-FINAL OF TENNIS SINGLES

Beats Lee Wai-Tong In Two Straight Sets

(By "Abo")

With neither contestant touching his best form, the quarter- final tie in the singles of the Colony Tennis Championships between S. A. Rumjahn and Lee Wai-tong fell short of general expectations yesterday. Though there were some long rallies, the standard of play on the whole was not impressive.
