The Foreign Y-M.C.A. have proved the biggest surprise of the league and have come on astonishingly well. Apart from D. Green they were not given a chance of winning a match, bunt T. E. Baker and M. Ginsbourg have performed astonishingly well for junior division players of last year against more experienced players, and the two have. victories against some of the best exponents of the game to their credit.
The Rowing Club playing with the same men as they had last year have clung tenaciously to the leaders but have lost to the Race Club and to the Oaramen, their victory coming at the expense of the Foreign Y.M.C.A. Their team includes no particularly outstanding star, although Neugebauer has a victory over L. H. Wade to his credit, but the remainder of the side is so well-balanced that their lower ranked players have come through to give the team their points, The Oarsmen is the team given the best chance to bring about the surprises of the second half of the league. They have the two strongest players as their Nos. 1 and 2 in L. D. Carson and R. B. Gotch, and though Carson has dropped a point io Wade, he beat both Neugebauer and Green. Gotch has won all his matches and is likely to win the remainder, the remainder of the side being given a good chance of scoring more than the one extra point necessary for victory.
Tonight's matches include the contest between the Race Club and the Rowing Club at the Race Club Courts, where two games are being postponed till tomorrow,
