WEYMAN ORDERS SPECTATOR OFF
MAMAK HOCKEY GAME TERMINATED
SIX MINUTES BEFORE TIME
INCOGNITOS AND SAINTS IN GOALLESS DRAW.
(By Centre Half.)
HOCKEY SENSATION WITHOUT PRECEDENT WAS CAUSED YESTERDAY MORNING, WHEN B.Q.M.S. WEYMAN, R.A., WHO WAS ONE OF THE REFEREES OFFICIATING IN THE MAMAK TOURNAMENT MATCH BETWEEN THE INCOGNITOS AND THE ST. ANDREW'S CLUB, BLEW HIS WHISTLE AND ABANDONED THE GAME SIX MINUTES FROM THE TERMINATION OF PLAY. THE RESULT WAS A GOALLESS DRAW, AND A REPLAY IS INEVITABLE.
ANOTHER LOCAL FIRST CLASS
The abandonment of the game, which throughout was very sportingly contested, was decided on by H.Q.M.S. Weyman, when a Portuguese spectator, Mr. A. Nolasco da Silva, whom he ordered to leave the field, the No. 1 Marina ground, for passing remarks regarding the refereeing, refused to go.
