A LITTLE BETTER BALANCED

BUT LEE WALTONG MAY PROVE INSPIRATION TO CHINESE

(Dy "Veritas")

Now that Lee Wai-tong has been able to make up his mind about playing, everything is set for a rattling fine Senior Shield final this afternoon. Both teams are extremely well re- presented. The Police are at full strength, with Stephens reintroduced into the forward to the exclusion of that promising player, Bone.

The gaine of the level green will be the first of the sports to be organised for the hotter weather and al- ready clubs are making their preparations for another season of active bowling; greens have been given their final cutting and rolling and in almost every instance have already been brought into commission for the official opening of the league on April 27.
