LAWN TENNIS IN BOMBAY
The annual Lawn Tennis Handicap Tournament
in connexion with the Bombay Gymkhana was
brought to a close last evening, when Messrs. II
Cheetham and W. Reid met in the final round of
the single s. The semi finals were played of a
fortnight since, but the final was postponed oi
account of the recent heavy rain. In the semi- ,
final Reid had defeated E. E. Coombs, while :
Cheetham had a walk over, A. C. Rumboll .
who was to have met him, scratching on accoun •
of being called away from Bombay on business. ‘
In consequence of the replay of the final i
connexion with the Aga Khan Hockey Tourna
ment also taking place last evening, very few
people turned up to see the tennis, but the few ,
who were present were treated to some very good
play. Reid’s handicap was —30, while Cheetham’
was —15}. In the first set Cheetham started of
by winning the opening game, but Reid securer
the next two, and when eight games had been play-
ed Reid, whose placing was decidedly good, ha< .
won five games to his opponent’s three, and even-
tually secured the set 6-4. The second set went all
n’favourofCheetham.who played up very strongly,
for after both players had won a couple of games, |
Cheetham secured the next four, and the set 6-2 i
The concluding set was productive of some (
excellent play, but at one time it looked as if |
Reid would win easily. Cheetam won the open
ing game, while Reid won the next three in
succession, his placing being very accurate,
while Cheetham was playing by no means so well
as he had done in the previous set. After this
however, he improved considerably, and five
games all were called. The eleventh gmo,
however, went to Reid, who thus won 6-1, 2-6, 6 5.

LAWN TENNIS IN BOMBAY.
The annual Lawn Tennis Handicap Tournament
in connexion with the Bombay Gymkhana was
brought to a close last evening, when Messrs. H
Cheetham and W. Reid met in the final round of
the singles. The semi finals were played of a
fortnight since, but the final was postponed or
account of the recent heavy rain. In the semi-
final Reid had defeated E. E. Coombs, while
Cheetham had a walk over, A. C. Rumboll
who was to have met him, scratching on accoun
of being called away from Bombay on business.
In consequence of the replay of the final in
connexion with the Aga Khan Hockey Tourna
ment also taking place last evening, very few
people turned up to seethe tennis, but the few,
who were present were treated to some very good
play. Reid's handicap was —30, while Cheetham’
was —15}. In the first set Cheetham started off
by winning the opening game, but Raid secured
the next two, and when eight games had been play
ed Reid, whose placing was decidedly good, bai
won five games to his opponent's three, and even-
tual’y secured the set 6-4. The second set went all
n'favour of Cheetham,who played up very strongly,,
for after both players had won a couple of games, I
Cheetham secured tbe next four, and the set 6-2
The concluding set was productive of some
excellent play, but at one time it looked as if
Reid would win easily. Cheetam won the open
ing game, while Reid won the next three in
succession, his placing being very accurate,
while Cheetham was playing by no means so well
as he had done in the previous set. After this
however, he improved considerably, and five
games all were called. The eleventh g-mo,
however, went to Reid, who thus won 6-1, 2-6, 6 5.

We are glad to note—says the “ Indian Sporting
Times that, following on our leading article
urging the neo ssity for greater control of football
in India, the following circular has been addressed
to about forty-four clubs, regiments, and batteries
of artillery, by Mr. C. W. Lauder, honorary secretary
of the Western India Football Association
« In September last a meeting of the representa
tives of several Football Clubs then in Bombay was
held to consider the advisabiliey of founding a
Football Association for Western India, and it was
I unanimously resolved that such an Association
I should be formed consisting of Football Clubs,

3. The annual subscriptions will be limited to

4 I may state that it is not intended that the
Association should in any way interfere with or take
over the management of any of the existing Football
Tournaments or competitions or to promote any
rival competitions. The control which the Associ
ation may exercise over any of the existing com-
petitions will be limited to—
(i) The interpretations of the Laws of the
Game ;
(ii) dealing with offences against the rough
play rules which may be reported to
the Association,
(iii) The provision of referees,
(iv) the settlement of any dispute referred to
the Association.
5. The necessity for a central body to control
Football in Western India is generally recognised
and I trust very shortly to receive you application
for affiliation to the Western India Football Associa
tion.”
As stated above the Western India Football Associs-
tion came into existence in the autumn of last year,
but has remained inactive in the interval due, we
are afraid, to the apathy of leading football teams
in Western India. We can only repeat that ‘here
is great call for legislation chiefly on the ground of
the present excessive roughness in play and the
inadequacy of the supply of capable referees. Mr.
Lauder, it will be noticed, has emphasised both these
points.
briefly . —
(a) to control Association Football in Western
India, especially with regard to rough play,
(b) to improve Refereeing,
(e) to promote the interests of Football generally.

Writing recently the Rome correspondent of the I

to the humblest street-sweeper, who lifts his hat and
looks at him with interest. Especially in the North

When the inventor was still a youth his family
lived for many months of the year at Ponteoohio,
near Bologna, where, in the garret, the young
William worked ten hours out of the twenty-four at
mysterious appliances, which his parents regarded as
perfectly useless. “ I will throw them all out of the
window,” his irate father would declare, when his
son had shown himself more than usually stupid at
his music, for—can it be believed—the elder Marconi
dreamed of turning his son into a musician 1

had assisted him in all his experiments, and even he
had misgivings. When his patron left he said,
