KOWLOON C. C. DISAPPOINT IN "A" DIVISION TENNIS

FAIL TO EXTEND INDIANS IN AS LEAGUE MATCH

S. A. AND OMAR RUMJAHN PLAY SPLENDID GAME

(By "Abe")

It is a pity that the Indians, without the services of H. D. Rumjahn, lost to the Hongkong C. C. some weeks ago; for judging by present forms, they seem to be the only team capable of challeng ing the Chinese Rt, C. in the "A" Division of the Tennis League.

REFLECTIONS

TEST MATCH BY "R. ABBIT"

With a long match it is interesting to set down ono's reflections as soon as one has mastered the details of the day's play. Here in Hongkong we get one day's play in the Test served up next day with the matutinal eggs and bacon, and I have tried to set down as soon as possible my ideas about the game, based on nowspaper reports only. The only time that I got a chance of listening in on the radio was for five minutes on Monday, and I was lucky to hear Wright catch Barnett at coverpoint.
