PLAY-OFF IN JUNIOR DIVISION

Indians And Police Tournament Tennis

Tie For Honours: Club de

Recreio

Fail

THERE WERE two vital gaMES in the Junior League cricket on Saturday last, and as it turned out a tic has resulted. The Recreio were

in a very strong position as they had a very good chance of winning the Shield had they beaten I.R,C. second eleven. The batting on both sides was so weak that a draw was unlikely. A victory would have meant that they had to beat the Army second eleven to win the Shield, and to draw with them to tie with the Police. But they lost.

Police and I.R.C. second have to play off, I presume upon a neutral ground. On the whole, I fancy the chances of the Police, especially if Fay turns out for them.

SEMI-FINAL

J. W. Leonard Defeated 6-1, 6-4 In Open Singles Tournament

(By "Tinker")

IN STRAIGHT SETS, and by scores of 6-1, 6-4, S. A. Rumjahn entered the semi-finals of the Hongkong Open Tennis Singles Tournament at the Hongkong Cricket Club yesterday, eliminating J. W. Leonard. It was a game of few thrills.

After winning the first set in, a way that made him appear far and away the more superior player, S. A. Rumjahu ran into a 5-1 lead in the second set be- fore Leonard staged a very fine recovery and determined effort to take that set, at least. It was not a case of Rumjahn having relaxed so much as Leonard com- menced showing control over his shots.
