THE THIRD ANNUAL LADIES' INTERPORT HOCKEY MATCH BETWEEN HONG KONG AND SHANGHAI WAS PLAYED ON THE HONG KONG FOOTBALL CLUB GROUND YESTERDAY AFTER- NOON IN IDEAL WEATHER AND BEFORE A CROWD OF OVER 500 SPECTATORS.

The result was a draw of 2-2 even after extra time was called The Colony led 2-3 until the very last minute of the game when Shanghai equalised through Miss Mary Sheridan, centre-forward. In the period of extra time exciiing hockey was served and Hong Kong almost clinched the issue when Miss Marie Smith sent in a hard shot which Miss Laura Carion, the Northern custodian, only just managed to deflect.

#

At the conclusion of the match, the Chief Justice, Bir Atholl MacGregor, called upon Mrs. T. E. Pearce, President of the Hong Kong Ladies' Hockey Association, to present silver mementos to mem- bers of both teams and the captains, Miss E. M. Gray (Hong Kong) and Miss Esther Bloomfield (Shanghai), exchanged dags.

It was a splendid match and every minute was thoroughly enjoyed. Both teams' defences won the honours of the day and curiously enough both sets of forwards were not very good though the Shunghal ladies combined with a better understanding.

Miss Evelyn Victal, Shanghai's left back, while clearing very well often faltered with minor Infringe- ments but her main fault was "sticks" this being caused by her inclination to crouch too low when hitting the ball. Otherwise, her A Osborne, display was sound.

Miss Esther Bloomfield, right half for Shanghai, and Miss Pelin Peti gura, left half, gave good support to Miss Elsin Little, who, at centre- half, played admirably. Miss Little possessed a strong hit and kept the play open with her clearances.

Of the forwards," Miss Lotti Schmidt did good work while Miss Nora Kelly, on the right wing, was speedy but she hestitated too often before passing and thus many pro- mising moves went astray. Miss Debbie Bloomfield, left wing. was rather slow.

Miss Iris Woolley, at right half for the Colony, played a brillant game in the first half but appear- ed to tire somewhat in the second half especially towards the closing stages of the game.

At left halt. Miss H. Glover, was not up to her usual standard but nevertheless put in a good"mea- sure of splendid spoiling work and this undoubtedly stemmed the force of the attack coming from the Shanghai right flank.

The match was capably umpired by Messrs. G. T. Palmer and H.

On the call of Mis. Harrop three hearty cheers were accorded Mrs. Pearce, who reciprocated by re- turning a call of three cheers for
