CHINESE R.C. TOO STEADY FOR THE INDIAN R. C.

RUMJAHNS TAKE THREE SETS IN SPLENDID GAME

OTHER TWO PAIRS FAIL

•

IN TENNIS LEAGUE TIE

(By "Abo"},

Though the Rumjahn cousins, S. A. and H. D., won all three sets, the other two pairs of the Indian R.C. wore not nearly good enough when they played the Chinese R.C. at Sookunpoo yester- day in the "A" Division of the Hongkong Tonnis League, and they were defeated by 5% sots to 3%.

In view of the splendid form shown by the couslas, who did itila wrong in their three sets, it was a pity that the other two combinations were su deplorably weak. True, 1.M.A. Razack and A. H, Mudar, shared a set with Lee Yee-wing and Ito Ku-Inu, the doubles finalists at the Hongkong CC. championship this year; but they should have wou as they led 6-3 and in the next two games were leating by 30-love. They missed their chances and in the end had to fight hard to get even half a set.

Hud Razack and Madar won this set, the match would have been con- siderably closer. As it was, the end of the first round saw the scores 11⁄21⁄2 sels ench, and then at the end of the second the Chinese were up 34-24 making

imperative for the Indians not to drop a single set in the last round if they were to win.

Change Of Venuo In Two Matchos

A correction has been made in the draw of the Open Rinks Competition.

It was originally arranged that the match between M. N. Rakusen's rink (M. E. Purvis. W. J. Burling, W. Hillyer and Rakusen) and C. Gowland's four (J. McCutcheon, S. Hodge, A. Jilliot and Gowland) be played on the Kowloon F.C. green. It has now been de- cided to play this match on the Craigongower C.C. green,

The match between S. Ran- die's rink and B. Basto's rink will be played on the Kowloon F.C. green.

This was an impossible tusk against the Chinese, whose three pairs were far too well-balanced to be in danger of defeat. The strength of the C.R.C.

IN WINNING MOOD

The Kumjahn cousins were in a winning mood yesterday, smashing driving and volleying with power and precision. After beating

Tsul Wal-pul and Lee Wal-tong "by 0-1,1 they were in irresistible form against Ho Ko-lau and Lee Yee-wing, who failed to take a single game. It was suggested by a colleague of mine that the cousins, remembering how badly. beaten they were by Ho and Lee in the Colony championships. were settling old scores! I hardly think so, but it did seem that the Tumjahns were not taking any chances.
