WIN WITH EASE AGAINST K.C.C. AT KING'S PARK

SPLENDID TENNIS SEEN ON THE OPENING DAY

(By "Abo")

The Chinese Recreation Club gave an indication of their real strength at King's Park yesterday afternoon when they walked through the Kowloon CC. “A” in the Mixed Doubles Tennis League, winning by 7% sets to 1%. Victory was already' assured by the end of the second round, the scores being the 5% sets to 1⁄2 in favour of the 'vistore.
