The teams were as follow:
'The White shield goes back to Hongkong. 'That, in the baldest 1anguage, explains what happened in the second women's hockey interport between Shanghai and' the "Colony, which was played at the Canidrome jon Saturday morning, and which fended in a 1-0 score for the visitors.
Tt was a close game, and far from.
pleasant one, for the ground was covered with 'a mixture of nov water, and mud, and the weather was bitterly cold in addition, Tribute was paid to the memory of His late Majesty, King George, before the game, when both teams ined up on the Meld and, with the spectators, observed a two minutes' silence.
Tt was Miss Phyllis Gittens who was responsible for dashing Shang-hal's hopes of equalizing on the inter~ ports to date, and the score did not come until well into the second half.
Miss Gittens was not in the line-up originally, Issued by the visiting side, but took Mrs. M. White's place and" justified the faith in her by scoring the only goal of the match.
Hongkong were good winners and thoroughly deserved the victory. For good portion of the game, Shang-hal were forced {0 be on' the de-{énsive and only the unplayable state of the ground prevented the visitors fom scoring more than once. On dry ground and under normal conditions, the southerners would probably have beaten Stanghal by a much larger margin, Towards the end of play. the Shang-hal team revived somewhat and pressed well, but the Hongkong backs proved to be invulnerable. Not long from the whistle the losers were given a short-corner which was not taken advantage of and full time arrived with Hongkong winners by 1-0.
At the conclusion of the match, a presentation was made of the White Shield by the donors. Miss. Jeanne Perkins, president of the Shanghai Ladles Hockey Association, made a short speech, after which souvenirs were presented to members of both teams, who exchanged pennants, Hongkong.—Mrs. J.

Shanghai Chinese soccer match, played Sunday afternoon at the Stadium, which the visiting team won by three goals to one. After the interval, oxfitement reigned high among the crowd of over §,000 spectators, for it was not until after 22 minutes play In the second halt that the scoring' was opened through Lee Wal-rona for Hongkong, the half-time' score slanding at a scoreless draw.
As a team, Hongkong did not play as superb a game as in the Interport Soccer match, individuality In. play giving place to. more consolidated fearn work. Nevertheless, the visit-Ing team's combination work, pos tional play, and general tactless, were'
all times of the highest order.
