Men's Singles
A commentary on one of the eliminating matches by Stewart MacPherson from the Royal Albert Hall
When commentator Stewart MacPherson goes down to the Albert Hall this afternoon he will be faced by one of the most unusual spectacles ever held there. There will be literally table-tennis tables everywhere, and the air will resound with the staccato volleying of scores of celluloid balls.
The English Table-Tennis Championships this year promise to be more like a world event, for a record number of foreign entrants has been attracted, and there will be stars from all over the world. So many different languages will be spoken that numerous interpreters are necessary. The dozens of these present offer their services voluntarily and take charge of the various nationalities.
Today being the opening day of the Championship, there will be every kind of game in progress. Both men and women players will be engaged in various doubles and singles contests. It is a feature of this table-tennis championship that no line is drawn between amateur and professional, and it is a case of may the best man (or woman) win.
Stewart MacPherson and the microphone will be in a position by No. 1 table, where he will stand the best chance of bringing an account of exciting play to listeners.
