(By "The Pilgrim")

ON the Navy ground yesterday morning, the second Ladies' Interport Hockey trial was held, Colours defeating Whites by 2-0. Mrs. Read, playing at centre-forward, scored in the first half and after several changes were made in both teams, Mias Chang, also playing in that position, scored for the Colours.
