ON THE HOCKEY FIELD.

9 "TRY-OUTS" AT KARORI. PJiEPAWNT. FOR CHALLENGERS. Wellington are (ho prcsenlo holders of Hie New Zealand hockey premiership, anil with challenges in from tho oilier provinces tlio selectors picked four trial tennis during thi? ' week. Oil .Saturday afternoon tlio usual senior club games ivoro suspended, ami two "try-out?" were played to onnblo a llnal toam—and of course from tlio selectors' point of viow tlio strongest—to Ixj got together t<> do battle against tho oncoming warriors from other province l !. Wellington tliid yc j,r ivill Imve many now players in. their crack eleven, this Ix'ing owing to eoino extent to the fact that players liavo migrated to other hockey fields. Saturday trials were trials mtreiy. Both the games ivoro uninteresting, and, as is almost invariably tho caw in these clashes, combination of tho rcoveSolitntivo older calno only in flushes. I'b® selectors, liowover, should bo able from what they saw to get together ti good littlo contingent by tho tinio that tho first ohicld gamo dato comes round. Tho ladies' mid junior games went their usual course, and somo of these dominated tho .trials for interest. Karori Park boro ovidonce of Thursday's rain, and the turf in consequence was holding. THE "STAR" TRIAL. The game that "counted" was that between tho A and B teams. They were as follow:—A team (yellow and black)! Cleavo (goal), Pullyn, Gaze (full), Bnrbidge, M'Gregor, Bountreo (halves), Henderson, C. Struck, G. Struck, Boyd nnd Griffiths (forwards). B team (black: Morpeth (goal), Camieron,' Paget (full), Thompson, Campbell, Lc Compto (halves), Collins, Smith, Murphy, Liddlc, M'Killop (forwards). The A- team wore leaders at tlio first term by 2 goals (shot by Boyd and Griffiths) to ml. In the second spall tho selectors changed over Morpeth and Cleave (goalkeepers), and other espen- - ments saw M'Eldowiuey from tho C team - take Gaze's place in tho A's; Collins (B) change over with Henderson, and Sheer an from the C's filled a gap in tlio B's. As stated, the play provided little interest except to the selectors, and at the final the, scores stood: A 5 goals, B 3 goals. Tho additional goal-getters were: Sli'reran (2) for the B's, and Boyd (1), G. Strack (2), for the A's. _ Messrs. Cusack and M'Kenzio were the refereos. THE OTHER "TRIAL." Another trial ganio took place on. the adjoining ground, but tho fixture was not taken seriously by either spectator or selector. From tlie way it was run, the Bolcctors apparently only put on the item as a solatium for those whom they considered capablo players but not quite up to representative standard. However, they went tlirough their paces, but with tlio multiplicity of colour—Black playing White, and Red opposing Blue, etc.—it wis a very complex affair, and it was not long before the vocal efforts of the supporters of tha teams in tho junior game rnxt door attracted their attentions to this game, which seemed to hold a bigger interest for them.' Tho "C" team won by 3 goals (shot by Sheeran (2) and Sturwck) to nil. ■ Mr. Cockrell was referee. c ■ JUNIOR GAMES. United had m easy win over Gregg's at Karori by 7 goals to 2.
