HOPES

Northerners Making Trip?

By far the best news we have received this week is that Shanghai is willing to send an Interport hockey team down to Hongkong during the Easter holidays if the conditions laid down are acceptable to the Colony authorities.

I understand that Shanghul hins mode certain stipulations with re- Hard to rate receipts and accom- modation of its players, and if these are agreed to, the Shanghai Hockey Club will send a representative side here for an Interport contest.

This is heartening news indeed to all local hockey enthusinate, es- pecially to those who have always advocated a men's Interport series with Shanghai. The ladies of the two ports have already entered into the spirit of friendly rivalry, and it la about time that the men fol- lowed suit.

offer."

If negotiations prove saliafactory to both sides, the northerners will probably be down here round about April 15-18. They are anxious to play three matches in the Colony, (1) versus Hongkong; (2) versus Civilians; and (3) versus the United Services.

(By "Abe')

St. John's prospects of winning the championship in the "B" Division of the Men's Badminton League were made brighter Inst evening when they vanquished their nearest rivals, Kowloon Tong, by the odd game in nine at St. John's Hall, thus repeating their previous sucess.

In the top half, the Hongkong Ladies, the present champtons, should defeat the Recreio in the first round and meet the "7" Ladies in the semi- final.
