Tennis Prospects
Not Bright
Prospects of play in the Colony Tennis Championships to-day are not very bright at the moment. In view of yesterday's rain and the drizzle which has just com- menced, it does not seem likely that the ground will be in a fit condition by this after-
noon.
The programme, originally fixed, is as follows:
OPEN SINGLES
Cheng Ping-yeung v. F. H. Kwok.

E. C. Fincher v. A. Craw- ford.
