INTERESTING TENNIS TIE PLAYED OFF

(By "Abo")

But for an interesting match between Tsui 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.

Nevertheless, if the other games did not reach the standard one longed for, the match between young Taul and Szeto was ample reward for the visit to the U.S.R.C. It was tain the effort against a man who a fast, hard-hitting game, with many was always producing banunering uplendid

Betty Slade Captures European

Diving Championship

By 1. G. Lindsell

London, Aug. 12.

There were tremendous scenes of enthusiasm at the Wembley Pool last 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 each com- petitor formed the final test in the evening, and Slade started off 1.80 points behind Heinze and 1.2 points behind Daumerlang. Heinze, how- ever, ruined her chances at the first test

by hitting the board with her feet in a somersault, although there was poetie justice in this as both Slade and Daumerlang had previous ly had the misfortune to mistime a dive.

Daumering performed well, scor- ing 13.08 and 15.8, but Betty Slade was at the top of her form, and although she chose two very dificult dives she collected 15.8 and 18 points from them, and won with a total of 103.6 points. Daumerlang, who was the leading European woman spring- board diver at the Olympic Games two years ago, scored 102.28 points, while Edna Child gathered 100.4 points.

Two brothers, Bill and Reg Lax- lon, reach Miss Slade und Miss Child respectively.
