FILIPINO DAVIS CUP STARS IN EXHIBITION

(By "Abo"):

A tricky wind blowing in from the direction of the harbour made effective ball control difficult yesterday at the Hongkong C.C. where the Filipino Davis Cup players, Amado Sanchez and Folicisimo Ampon, played their second series of exhibition tennis matches in Hongkong, and contributed to a great extent to the large number of mistakes made by almost everyone taking part in the exhibition.

----

Nevertheless, the tennis served up was thoroughly enjoyable, and if the standard was not consistently high, the conditions were to blame. How- ever, at times, when they found their; touch, Sanchez and Ampon showed how they have reached the top fung in the Philippines' tennis ladder; now and then in the course of the matches, ench would pull out a stroke as glorious in its execution as it was Impossible to retrieve.

On the whole, local players acquitted themselves quite well. The Rumjahn cousins, though beaten in two straight sets, made the visitors go all out for victory and the scores of 7-5, 6-4 give on idea of how close the two sets were. Toul Yun-pui, after to pieces in the second against the holding his own in the first set, fell diminutive Ampon, and was defeated by scores of 7-5,.0-1.
