A most unfortunate and very re greable incident, which has nused a mild sensation in hockey circles in the Colony,occurred in he match between the Hong Kong Club and the Jat Regiment on Wednesday when W. E. Willams, the Welsh International, who has been representing the Club

A NEW RECRUIT

With the gradual return of ships from their summer cruises, rugby games should grow more in- teresting as more teams arrive to oppose the two civillan clubs in the Colony, but nothing spectacul- ar la promised at present. A surfeit of Injuries among promi- nont players bas detracted from rocent games, but by the time rugger is in full swing, things should be better.

The Club has had more than 'ts fair share of men on the sick list, but despite that, their last two games, against Kowloon and the Medway, have shown they are as formidable as ever. They will have a harder nut to crack jon Saturday, however, when they will run up against a combined ¡Army team.
