(By "Abs")

Never at any stage was the match in the First Division of the Hongkong Tennis League between the Chinese RC. and the South: China A.A. yesterday at Causeway Bay anything more than a mere knock-up for the home players. The teams were far from being evenly-matched, and the final result, cight sets to one against South China, was eloquent testimony of the superiority of the C.R.C.

The Australians drew with Middle- sex at Lord's. In this match, young Edrich, one of the most promising batsmen in the country, completed his thousand runs in May. This performance was made possible by aane Resture on the part of Don Bradman, the Australian captain, who declared his side's innings 20 minutes from time to enable Edrich to score the ten runs which he needed to take is total for the season to four figures.
