BEFORE commenting on the second ladies' Inter- port trial which was played at King's Park lastį Sunday, I feel it is essential to say that something must be done to remedy the unsatisfactory methods adopted by the Hongkong Ladies' Hockey Association with regard to the appointment of umpires for these games.
