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

aro acceptable to the Colony authorities,

I understand that Shanghai has made certain silpulations with re- gard to gate 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 enthusiasts, es- pecially to those who have always advocated men's Interport serles with Shanghai. The ladies of the two ports have already entered into the spirit of friendly rivalry, and It is about time that the men fol- lowed suit.

St. John's prospects of winning the championship in the "B" Division of the Men's Badminton League were made brightor" mat. 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.

If negotiations prove satisfactory 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.

If all local hockey enthusiasts there is no pledge their support, reason why the Interport should not
