INTERESTING TENNIS TIE PLAYED OFF

(By "Abo")

But for an interesting match between Taui Yun-pui and Szeto Bick, a former Canton champion, the tennis played in the United Services R.C. hardcourt championships yesterday would have pro- vided very dull fare indeed for spectators; for apart from this tie, there was little over which to enthuse.

Nuvertheless, if the other games did not reach the standard one longed for, the match between young) Toul and Szeto wan ample reward for the visit to the U.S.R.C. It was a fast, hard-hitting game, with many splendid rallies, which made the en counter one of the best seen so far in the singles tournament.

and then 4-2, only to be pulled up again to 4-4.

This was a gallant effort on the part of Szelo, but he could not sus tain the effort against a man whe was always producing hammering blows on the forehand, and so the match ended with Taul winning the last two games for a deserved vlc-' tory.

There were tremendous scenes of enthusiasm at the Wembley Pool Inst night when 17-year-old Betty Slade, of Ilford, won the women's springboard diving championship of Europe from Gerda Daumerlang (Germany), with the Romford schoolgirl, Edna Child, in third place. It was Britain's first triumph in the championships.

Two voluntary dives by cachi com- petiter formed the final test in the evening, and Slade started off 1.00 points behind Heinze and 1.2. points behind Daumerlang.
