S'hai Cancel Hockey GOLFERS League: Australians TALK Discuss 1941 Tests

(By "Tinker")

THE DECISION of the Shanghai Hockey Associa- tion to suspend their men's league for this season comes as a surprise to Hongkong, where every effort is being made to continue sport despite the troubles which sur- round us. It is true that the motion was carried by only night votes to six, which indicates an even division of opinion, but it is hard to believe that the sole basis for Buspending the League was because "the big leagues in England had suspended activity.”

Surprising Decision Made At Annual Meeting

Y a narrow majority of eight votes to six, states the Shanghai Times, it was decided to abandon the annual "That's the best shot I've had all Men's Hockey League for the coming season, this decision being reached at the Annual General Meeting of the afternoon."
