INTERPORT HOCKEY ARRANGEMENTS GOING AHEAD

MATTER TO BE DISCUSSED ON MONDAY
HOCKEY WEEK SUGGESTED. AS ATTRACTION TO CHINESE
|F_the arrangements to meet Singapore, Macao, Shameen and other ports in Inter- port hockey matches finally mature, why not a local "Hockey Week" suggests "Bully Off" in his notes this week. He claims that such an event would not only do much to improve local hockey, but would probably be the means of stimulating Chinese interest in the game, which at the present is negligible.

ANOTHER question which will

The Navy, who have one of the strongest combinations in the Colony at the present time, are anxious to participate, but fortunately the dates fixed for the matches coincide with a period when several of H.M. Ships will be away from port. Discussion will take place as to the advisablli- Ly of altering the dates to suit the convenience of the Navy alde.

WILLIE SMITH'S ADVICE
TO THE BUDDING
PLAYER
In his article to-day, written exclusively for the Telegraph, Willie Smith, the famous British billiards players, who early next year will be seen, in Hongkong, continues where he left of last week, namely, his idea of the cor- rect way to hold a one.
He advances the logical sug- gestion that as his hold had pra- duced more than one four-figure break, it can be regarded as being fairly correct.
For one aspiring to play Billiards the first thing to learn is to hold the cue in the proper manner. When I say "proper manner" I mean the way in which I bold the cue.
