CHINESE R.C. TOO RUMJAHNS TAKE THREE SETS IN SPLENDID GAME

OTHER TWO PAIRS FAIL IN TENNIS LEAGUE TIE

(By "Abe")

Though the Rumjahn cousins, S, A. and H. D., won all three sets, the other two pairs of the Indian R.C. were not nearly good enough when they played the Chinese R.C. at Sookunpoo yester- day in the "A" Division of the Hongkong Tennis Loague, and they were defeated by 51⁄2 sets to 32.

In view of the splendid form Tsul and Lee 3-6; lost to Hung and shown by the cousins, who did Hille Kong 4-6, wrong in their three sets, it was a
