This afternoon the first heat of the New Year Champions will be played off, which will include the -pick of the senior squad. The event which is run off quarterly will. be played latter the "new policy" shorter programme, namely the tenth event. Therefore there will be ample time for the completion of the lengthy event without interfering at all with R. the regular soiree.
Intendente Pauline has arranged jthe team, giving careful consideration to the handicapping with regard to the most recent form displayed by Players instead of reputations, Tacolo, the newcomer from Brazil with the unorthodox but effective overhead strokes will commence at 1 №. 1 position, having the advantage of the service. He will be followed by No. 2 Escoriaza, recent acquisition from Tientsin. The latter has been displaying much improved form.
At. No. 3 is the hard hitting. Echaniz. Much had been expected from this newcomer, but his hurt knee has not permitted him to show his best. However, he has just that punch to upset the favourites and may do so.
