MISS JACOBS' FRIGHT
AGAINST MISS J. INGRAM
..London. July 3. The heroine of the ladies' matches of yesterday was unquca- tionably Miss Jean Ingram. She Jacobs, who is top of the seeded hud to face the girl, Miss Helen class, and was unbeaten in the re cent Wightman Cup contest. and emerged from the ordeal with in- finite credit, although outplayed at the finish mainly because she was camo known that she was holding Just about tired out. When it be her own against the player who seems to stand the best chance of succeeding Mrs. Moody as cham- pion there was a regular stampede for the court, No. 3, on which they were playing, and as it is not too well equipped for the reception of a throng there was soon very little room round the court anywhere,
In the first set Miss Ingram was 0-3 down before she launched her first offensive. It carried her to 4- and home (after 4-1) at 64. I ought perhupa to say that there was a decidedly troublesome wind, but that it did not appear to trouble one more than the other, Mius Ingram is Ane volleyer. She did not fancy a baseline duel against such a stendy and severe hitter as Miss Jacoba, so ahe took her volleying risks bravely and made them pay.
MISS JACOBS PUT OUT OF POSITION.
In the second set she was 'using the short, and rather slow, angled shot across in order to put Miss Jacoba out of position, and then shooting the ball to the vacant alde, often by means of a volley which left Miss Jacobs insuficient time to get across. Mainly in this way and also because she achieved, some fine straightforward drives and forceful smashes, ahu pulled up from 2-4 down in the second within a point of 6-4. But she set lo 44, and

HOCKEY ASSOCIATION ANNUAL MEETING
Review Of Season
The annual general meeting of the Hongkong Hockey Association was held last evening in St. Androw Church Hall, with Mr. E. W. fiamilton (President) in the chair.
Briefly commenting upon the re- port the chairman said that they could look back un what has been
done during their first year and feel that the formation of the Association had been justified. It was a body which they hoped would run the game of hockey for the convenience of everybody concerned.
The accounts showed a balance of $27 apart from $100 which they did not know much about. He explained that this sum was the balance due to the Navy from their guarantee for the Malayan visit and they did not yet know what was to be done with the money; whether they were to koep it or whether it was to be refunded. to the Navy. .
Speaking of the Interports the chairman said that they had managed to finance them very satisfactorily. Thin was possible chiefly through th amazing work done by the chairman of the Committee (Mr. A. A. Dand) and the indefatigable Hon. Serretary (Mr. F. A. Kemp),
Referring to the departure of Com.
F. D. Leigh the chairman said that it was impossible adequately to say how much they owed him. He worked untiringly and they owed him a deep. debt of gratitude."
The report reviewed the past season in detail, from the lanuguration of the association on June 22, onwards.
The following officials were electod for the ensuing year:
President, Mr. E. W. Hamilton; Vice Presidents, Commodoro Frank Elliott (Nevy), Col. Yates Morris (Army) and Mr. A. A. Dand (Civillans); Hon. Secretary, Mr. F. A. Komp; Hon. Treasurer, Mr. A. M, Xavier. Mem- bars of the Council are nominated; by clubs in afflation to tho Associa
matches on the best grounds in Brussels next month, It is also probable that two of the London clubs will visit Holland to meet the well-known Dutch team, the Flamingoes. The Dutch cricketers, who come to London every year, would like Sutton and Dulwich to visit them in Holinnd at the end of August.
During the last two or three seasons there has been a regular transfer of the leading chub cricketers from the North to the South. The two latest acquisi tions from the North to the South are L Birtwell, the Nelson slow bowler, and T. Jenner, the Lan- cashire Lengue batsman, Birtwell is now regularly, assisting. Iligh Wycombe, and Jenner has joined the Cyphers, who have been fur ther strengthened by the requlai- player from Wales. This year tion of T. Arthur, a fine all-round
League, cricketers are assisting over twenty very good Northern
London and Southern club sides.
It is probable that the M.C.C. will arrange a match at Lord's at the end of September between two representative club elevens to tent certain experimenta with the l.b.w. rule.
