The open singles cham- pionship semi-final be- tween S. A. and H. D. Rumjahn will be played this afternoon if there is no more rain. This deci. sion was reached late this morning after Mr. A. K. Mackenzie, hon. secretary, Hongkong Cricket Club, had inspected the stand
court,
The heavy overnight rains which fell incessantly made prospects this morning very uncertain, but a helpful dry- ing wind and the absence of further rain since half past eight has greatly improved conditions.
If the rain continues to hold off the match will certainly be played to-day starting at 4.30
p.m.
Admission to the stand court will be one dollar inclusive of
tax.
