(By "Sticks")

THE Hong Kong Ladies' Hockey Association's season is fast drawing to a close and the trials for the Senior and Junior Champions versus the Rest games are being held this week, the latter event taking place this afternoon on the Diocesan Girls' School ground.

A probable junior side has been selected and is conspicuous for the fact that none of the Central British Association Ladies are included, but they will probably appear in a later trial.
