Mych depends on today's fight, starting also at 2.30 p.m., in the first singles between Gordon Lum (Tientsin) and Lewis D. Carson (Shanghai). Lum, since his return from the 1938 Davis Cup campaign, has not been seen locally. Lum's victory would mean the third singles and first doubles will be staged tomorrow while a win for Carson would enable Shang-bai to capture the pennant outright.
Following the singles clash, Great Britain will meet-America in the final of the Roper Cup International Doubles. The British team are generally expected to come out on top as America is weakened by the absence of Squires, wH® was sick. Carson will therefore pair up R. D. Boyer, the U.S. Marine champion.
