Tsui Brothers Enter Doubles Final Girls International

Poor Exhibition By Sewell And MacDougall

Low Standard In Hongkong

Year after year we have the same people in the final rounds, with no improvement over previous years. There is, is true, a certain standard that has been attained, but this is confined to too few
