THE MAKING
FINAL MATCH TO-DAY
J. C. BROWN IN LOCAL SIDE
Shanghai having already won the lawn bowls inter- port there will not be the same interest attached to to-day's 'match but the local side will be out to prevent a clean sweep as occurred last year.
There is to be a change in to-day's team to represent Hongkong. J. C. Brown will play No. 3 in the place of F. J. Jones who is indisposed. The Hongkong rink will therefore be J. V. Ramsay, B. W. Bradbury, J. C. Brown and U. M. Omar.
The match starts at 3 p.m. and will be played on the Kowloon B. G. C. green..
The Shanghai team will be C. W. Glover, C. Ri- chards, W. H. Train and J. M. C. Lopes (skip).
