"Pilgrim's" Hockey

Notes

MEN WILL HAVE HOCKEY LEAGUE AS USUAL: LADIES PLAY “FRIENDLIES "

Semi-Final Bowls Ties

NOW THAT THE WEATHER has become cooler, hockey has come into its own again in the Colony. Any enthusiast who finds himself in King's Park during a week-end those days, will confirm my statement.

The Hongkong Hockey Association is to run a League, but due to the evacuation | of most of our ladies, no league fixtures will be played by the ladies this season. Never. theless keen interest is being taken by most clubs in this great amateur game.

Hockey is one of the very few remaining wholly amateur games. Amateurists, in its best sense, is by no means merely a The semi-final matches in matter of non-payment of the the Open Singles Bowls Cham-players; it is something much pionship of the Colony will be

Cer- tainties for the tournament are Con- tral British Association, Khalsa lloc key Club, H.K. Police, Club de Re- erela, Royal Corps of Signals, En- gineers and Nomads. I should like to see the Y.M.C.A. and the H.K. Hockey Club in the tournament as It is truc that most of the well.
