London, July 20.

Many a punter seeing his fancy beaten after a good performance is consoled if it gets a place and he has backed it each way. His chagrin is great if he sees the horse eased up when it had a good chance of getting a place.

RUMJAHNS

TO TAKE ON SINGLES

At Hongkong C. C. To-Day's Tennis

Following the decision of the Tsul brothers, Tout Wai-pul (Colony sin- gles champion) und Tsul Yun-pui (runner-up), not to play in the inter- port tennis matches against the Thailanders, the Rumjahn cousins, S, A. and H. D., have been nominated to take their places in the singles | matches which will be held to-day

at the Hongkong Cricket Club.

Alleged anti-Chinese Influence in Thailand is said to be the reason for the refusal of the Tauis to play. The concensus of local Chinese opinions appears to be that they ought not to play against people whose countrymen are suid to be against the Chinese. "

- In consequence, S. A. Rumjahn has been selected as Hongkong's No. 1 singles player und will be supported by his cousin, H. D. Rumjahn. For the doubles, however, it in under- slood that a further two players will be chosen to represent the Colony. The Thailand team consists of Muang Roeng,

singles champlos, Sanoh, doubles co-champion with Roeng, Capt. Kosom Chatkiavanij. fermer Cambridge "Blue" and Wim- bledon player and Miss Sanguan Sujaritkula.

The programme for to-day is: Sanol v. II. D. Rumjalin Muang Roeng v. S. A. Rumjohn The men's doubles and ladies' singles will be held to-morrow, and the remaining two singles-6. A. Rumjahn v. Sanoh and If. D. Rum- Janv. Muang Roeng will take
