China will be one of the main contenders for the International title this year.as it will undoubtedly be rapi resented by the Flying Shuttles' leading couple of Fung and Hou Shu Chi, who displayed such overwhelming form in the Men's Division of the League. The French combination of Meise and Chaillan is also expected to progress far in the competition.
Probably having the services of de Senna and da Silva, Portugal should at least make a good showing when they come across China in their first meeting. It may be recalled that the Portuguese pair was eliminated last year only in the finals. The United States team will have the services of Squires and Hubbard while Greece can once again depend on N. D. Chelmis and G. D. Chelmis for a powerful pair. While the other teams have not yet been revealed, they are all known to be formidable.
Outside of the International series, the Men's Singles Championship should arouse much interest with such stalwarts as A. G. Meise, Lionel Kew, Hou Shu Chi and William Fung in the competition. Great things are expected from the latter two Chinese players with Fung probably one of the logical players to take the title relinquished by Henry Eardley. Meise, however, is still good enough to triumph, and thus add another victory to the string of seven which he has earned in this championship.
The Men's Doubles is another competition where the combination of Hou and Fung is expected to shine.
