BOWLS ASSOCIATION PROSPECTS Encouraging Letter From President Of The E. B. A.

S. China Doubtful: Club Hopeful: Police Confident

OUTLOOK FOR SENIOR SHIELD

(By "Veritas"}

If you go along to Caroline Hill and ask South China sup- porters who are going to win on Saturday they will shrug their shoulders enigmatically and answer "Who can tell?” If you slip down to Happy Valley and enquire about the Club's prospects you will be quietly told "We hope to pull it off". But if you visit Police Headquarters and push out 盘 few questions about chances you will be met with a stream of confident assur- ancos that the Police are not only going to win this week, but are a safe bet for the Shield.

We shall probably know the true answers on Saturday evening, in the meantime perhaps we can form a few opinions ourselves.
