CHINESE R. C. TOO STEADY FOR

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 League, and they were defeated by 52 sets to 3%.

set.

Had Razack and Mader won this sel, the match would have been con- siderably closer. As it was, the end of the first round saw the scores 14 sets each, and then at the end of the second the Chinese were up 3-2 making it imperative for the fudions not to drop a a single set in the jast round ir

The strength of the C.R.C, this year can be gauged by the fact that even with Tsuf Yun-pul unable play, they could field ihree such Hood poirs. And a splendid player like fu Tak-cheuk, who would nor- mally get into any "A" Division team in the Colony, had to take the role of spectator!

IN WINNING MOOD

The Rumjahn cousins were in a winning mood yesterday, smashing driving and volleying with power and precision. After beating Tsui Wal-put and Leo Wai-tong by 6-1, they were in irresistible form against Ho Ko-lau and Lee Yee-Wing" who failed to talce a single game. : "It was suggested by a colleague of mine that the cousins, remembering how badly beaten they were Ho and Lee in the Colony champlonskips, Were settling old scores! I hardly think so, but it did seem that the Rumlahns were not taking any chances.
