HOCKEY.

TRINITY STILL LEADING. CHRISTCHURCH MATCHES. Trinity held it 3 place at the top of the Christchurch hockoy championship table by defeating Selwyn in a game that opened promisingly but faded into a ragged and poor exhibition. Selwyn Becured two goals from penalty bullies, but could not equalise. Trinity won by three goals to two. Redcliffs assorted its superiority by defeating Sydenham by six goals to two, in a manner that left ro doubt as to which was the better team. Technical drew with University, jn a close, even game, the scores being a fair indication of the relative .strength of the two teams.

Trinity pressed hard from the commenjemeiit and held play in opposition territory. 1). McCormick and Jones both attempted unsuccessful goals in tho first ten minutes. Sticks against Norm gave kelwvn a breakaway, but C. Kogers stopped the movement ami Davis staged a faul run up the line an infringement spoiling the chance. Trinity returned and Jones esesayej a goal, Bellamy being safe. Trinitv's persistency gained reward wh.-n D. McCormick netted, fo)lo>ving a combined rush. Trinif.v 1, Selwyn 0. I!. Kogers suffered a cut oil the forehead and leceived treatment, C. Saio'uon tilling the position. Trinity renewed the attack and G. Jones increased tin- lend with a neat goal. Trinity 2, Selwyn 0. A miss by C. Kogers enabled Me'iosey to secure and a well-timed centre gave Kdginton an opportunity, but Barn!;:' 1 kicked clear. Hearne broke up a promising Trinity rush and Lane gained possession. A penalty bully given against P. McC.rmiek was won by J. Andrews, who Bcored for Selwyn. Selwyn carried play to Trinity's end and at half-time the scores were: Trinity 2, Selwyn 1. Selwyn took the offensive on resuming, cut play reverted to its own end, Kadclifle sending out fo" Salomon, whose shot was high. Dane accepted a good pass from C. Hore ami brought play well down, but was bloekeu hy Noriis. P, McCormick gave obstructions in Trinitv's circle, and the penalty bully given aizoinst him was won by J. Andrews, equalising the scores. Trinitv wasted no time from tho bully and P. McCormick put them ahead. Trinity 3, Selwyn 2. Lane, in a tolo effort, gained Trinitv's twenty live, but Noiris returned.

Sydenham gamed a penalty corner and Kedcliffs fruntrated the movement, but Downie returned with forao clever play. Hill broke up a RedclifTs' rush and a free hit assisted the clearance. Svdenham took the offensive aud Duffield's shot, following a penalty corner, was unsuccessful. Just afterwards, Kusbndgc missed narrowly with a rising ball, Matthews effecting a wonderful save. K. Prebble had possession on Kedcliffs' right flunk, but failed to reach a scoring position. Faulty defenco by Sydenham saw Kedcliiis gain considerable ground. Sydenham was awarded a free bit, and the sitnation looked dangerous, G. Burke finally easing the position. Kusbridge accepted nicely in the Kedcliffs' scoring area and took play forward, but Sydenham failed to gain any advantage. A corner to Sydenham resulted and T. Prebble broke away, and scoring after a great run, put Kfdc-liffs on the boii'd The seaßide players were now asserting themselves, and Ci" Burke secured and, following ir, notched the second goal.
