HOCKEY

MANAWATU GAMES. In the two senior games conducted by the Manawatu Hockey Association at the Hokowliitu. grounds yesterday, Broadway A and Phoenix played a draw, there being no score, and P.D.C. beat Broadway B by 2 goals to 1. Play in the Phoenix-Broadway A match -was fast, with the ground dry and hard, but neither team had the finish necessary to overcome solid defence in the circle. O’Brien for Broadway and Morgan for Phoenix would have scored but for over-eagerness. The umpires were Messrs F. McLacldan and W. H. Wilson. - P.D.C. had a slight territorial advantage in their match with Broadway B. R. Facer and C. Ward scored for P.D.C. and H. Cutler for Broadway. The umpires were Messrs A. E. Blackbourn and L. Martin. JUNIOR TOURNAMENT.
