Dour Struggle

Between Between Tsui

Brothers On Stand

On Stand Court

(By ("Tinker")

THE SUDDEN GATHERING of clouds around the Peak which caused an overshadowing of the Stand Court brought about the abandonment of the Open Tennis Singlès Final yesterday between the Tsui brothers after each had won two sets.

It was a great struggle in its bascline duels, Taui Yun-pui showed the greater inclination to advance to the net, but he was definitely the weaker in that position. He lost several points when almost on top of the net, whereas Wai-pui scored with well controlled volleys when similarly placed.

The baselino shots were of "a | high standard. Each exploited the backhand with great ac- curacy and the prolonged rallies were fine to watch,

Altendance in the Stand was poor. Prices had been increased to $5 and $2, with the seats on the other side of the court raised from 50 cents to $1. The proceesks aro for the Bomber Fund,

By far the finest shot of the match was Yun-pul's backhand drive as he advanced to the net. It paved the way to what should, have been win-| ning shots but for his weakness at the net.

speed with court-craft and controlled short drop shots that were another, feature of the match. For the open-| ing game, however, he was definite- ly on the defensive, and played only as well as his younger brother would permit.

One Set To-day To Decido Singles Final!

IT IS LEARNED that the un- finished Singles Tennis final be- tween the Taul brothers will be concluded to-day.

Only one set will be played this afternoon. This, of course, is the Afth net, they each having won two yesterday,

The set will be played following the Club Singles Final between M. Pagh and C. H. R. Oxlade,
