FILIPINO DAVIS CUPPERS IMPRESS IN EXHIBITION

AMPON REVEALS

NO WEAKNESS IN Chinese Beat Royal Navy In Kotewall Cup

HIS REPERTOIRE

SANCHEZ SERVES WELL AND VOLLEYS FINELY

--(By "Veritas")

"

The tennis exhibitions given yesterday by Amado Sanchez and Felicisimo Ámpon were thoroughly enjoyable, without being tremendously impressive-judged by Davis Cup standards. But the Filipinos had a real excuse for not striking par form. Buffeted by the angry China Sea for a couple of days, they landed yesterday afternoon still feeling decidedly shaky, and walked straight on to the Hongkong Cricket Club stand court, a type of surface which is strange to them.

Under such a handicap, it was hardly expected they would hit their best tennis form. Nevertheless, they played well enough to leave very pleasant memories for the large crowd of spectators who turned up

to

see them engage local tennia luminaries in doubles matches.

Ampon, four feet somethinden concentrated virility power, distinguished himself with a grand all-round exhibiton, but San- chez revealed a weakness of two, notably overhead, which department will need a fair, amount of pollshing up before he takes the court in the Davis Cup.

Both players exploited the halt- swing forehand and backhand drives ta perfection, and both volleyed with that incisiveness which is so lament- ably absent from Hongkong tennis.

Unfortunate Incident Mars Close Of The Local Soccer Season

(By "Abo")

Failing to beat the Royal Navy last Saturday, the South China A.A. had to call upon Lee Wai- tong to turn out at centre-forward in their decid- ing Kotowall Cup match against the sailors at Caroline Hill yesterday afternoon and won by four goals to one.

As the proceeds of the Kotewall Cup competition go to charity, yesterday's game was useful in that quite a sizeable sum must have

•been realised; but purely as an exhibition of soccer, or even as a stepping stone towards better football relationship between the Navy and the Chinese, one doubts whether it was worth while.

For the deterioration of the play, I am afraid the official in charge of the game must take his due shara of the blame.. Some of his decisions were difficult to understand; and a few of the players became rather rattled as a result.

GLOOM OVER Game The Hendy Incident cast a gloom over the rest of the match, and the subsequent play was a deplorable way of seeing out the 1936-30 soccer

season.

Shortly afterwards Lal Shiu-wing added the fourth goal for the Chinese, and this was the end of the scoring.

Play became very ragged and it must have been a rellet to all con- cerned when the final whistle was blown.

As the result of this victory, the Chinese have won all the football competitions in the 1930-30 season. They have carried off the League, the Shield, the Lal Wah Cup, the Sunday Herald International Com- petition and now the Kotewall Cup.
