One team that will be sorely missed this Season is the Amazons, who were the pioneers of Ladies' Hockey in this Cosmopolitan City. However, 4 brief survey Of the teams entered, places the A.S.P. "A" as the eventual sı winners with the title-holders, In Uno, as their closest rivals. Others favoured are the Greens and the Shanghai Ladies Hockey Club. The Sokols appear somewhat weak but may improve as the Season gets under way. Erin-Villa is expected 16 pull the sure The fixtures for this week-end will see Erin-Villa clashing with the Greens, ASP. "A" with S.L.LC, In Uno against Sokols in the "A" Division. In the ^B" Division Betar meets JRC. SIS, clashes with JAO.
The Greens are picked to defeat the Erin-Villas, whilst the A.S.P. "A" should nose out the Hockey Club. In Uno should rua away with the Sokol leaving the cla: between the S.J.S. and J.A. as the only close match of the day.
