A commentary by Jack Carrington on the final of the men's singles from the Empire Pool and Sports
Arena, Wembley
This gala tournament is an annual event (this year the nineteenth) held by the English Table Tennis Association. It opened on Wednesday at the Polytechnic Extension, Little
Titchfield Street, London, was played there throughout Thursday and Friday, and comes to Wembley today. In spite of a slight reduction in foreign entries owing to the war there was a total entry of 251, including one Turk, four players from France, four from Hungary, and one from Slovakia.
The holder of the men's singles, which event we are to hear, is Richard Bergmann , of Poland, also the world champion. And many expect him to win again.
