Indians And Police Tournament Tonnis

Tie For Honours:

Club de Recreio Fail

I

THERE WERE TWO VITAL GAMES in the Junior League cricket on Saturday last, and as it turned out a tie 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 olovon. 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 tio with the Police. But they lost.

Police and L.R.C. second have to play off, I presume upon a neutral ground. On the whole, I fancy the chance's 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 so... and away the more superior L player, S. A. Rumjahn 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 Rumjuhn having relaxed so much as Leonard com- menced showing control over his shots.

For five games in this second set, the spectators were treated to a bel-

ler kind of tennis. Both employed the top-spin, but Rumjalin brought put in surprisingly strong and ac curate backhand. His shots from that side frequenlly found the far back corner of the court, and with the sur- ince of the court somewhat slippery, those shots were hard to return. Leonard was trapped into presenting the easiest of kills at the net.

BASELINE PREFERRED

AS FAR AS I could count, only two lobs were used in the whole match. Both were by Rumjahn. Leonard showed a definite preference for the baseline, but it was not until too late that he showed anything like control of direction. His service was pitiably weak.
