OPEN TENNIS TOURNAMENT STARTS

Little Prospect Of Tsui Brothers Losing Singles Or Doubles

(By "Tinkor")

THE FIRST MATCHES in the Colony Open tennis championships will be held on Monday on the Hongkong Cricket Club courts. Once more we will see familiar figures in action, and idly speculate whether there is anyone here capable of taking the singles title from Tsui Wai-pui or the doubles title from him and his brother, Tsui Yun-pi.

One thing is certain, and that is through careful seed- ing in the Singles, there will be no all-Tsui final, for both are in the bottom half of the draw, and if successful in all their earlier matches, will meet in the semi-finals. ・・

Entries are as satisfactory as usual. There are forty- three for the Singles, and twenty-four pairs in the Doubles.

Going through the Singles | entries, the outstanding playera in the top quarter are S. A. Rumjahn and J. W. Leonard. In the second quarter are H. D.

Rumjahn, Paul Kong and W.

Hung. In the third quarter are

Thul Yun-pui, T. A. Pearce, and

Tennie Kwok, and in the last quarter are Pang Ol-lum and the champlon, Tsui Wal-pui,

Sirdar Rumjahn is getting an in years, and though stiti a fine playerį can go under without loss of prestige

LOUIS' NINTH SUCCESSFUL

FIGHT IN DEFENCE

OF WORLD TITLE

•

LONDON; Feb. 16-Joe Louis retained the world heavyweight title at New York on Feb. 9 after the hardest fight of his carcer. He was awarded a points decision over Arturo Godoy, the Chilean, but the verdict was greet- ed with a roar of booing. Most critics had declared that Godoy would be knocked out early in the fight.

The verdict for the champion, however, was held by newspaper experts to be correct. Arthur Donovan, the referee, who had handled the Louis-Farr match, gave Louis ten rounds and Godoy five. Mr. Lecron, one of the judges, marked ten for Louis, four for Godoy, and one even, while the other judge, Mr. Shortell, gave Godoy ten to five.
