CORRESPONDENCE.

THE HONG KONG HOCKEY CLUB

[To the Editor of "Chiva Mail"] Sir, Referring to the report on the annual meeting of the Hong Kong Hockey Club and the com- ments on the proposed hockey League may I enquire what is the Fundamental difference between the Hong Kong Hockey Club com- peting for the Sim Shield and com- peting in League games for trophies open to all Clubs?

N

The attitude of the Hong Kong. Hockey Club on the question of the question of the proposed League appears to be somewhat selfish and narrow minded,,and, seams to, In- dicate that the leading hookey Club of the Colony is bent on: main taining Its unique position as the only competing civilian Club for [Sim Shield honours, rather than fostering general Interest in the

game.

Yours, etc
