HOCKEY.

ADDINGTON WINS. Addington met Christchurch on Ihe Polo ground tliis afternoon, and won by 1 goal to nil. The game was very fast at Ihe start, but soon : slackened oil'. Both sides showed poor combination, due, no doubt, to want of practice. ■ The game was very evenly contested. There was no score at half time. In the second half Addington attacked repeatedly, and ('happeU succeeded in shooting ■ a goal. Christchurch made a big effort lo equalise, but at the call 'of lime the. scores were unchanged. i SYDENHAM BEAT SELWYN. Sydenham met Selwyn to-day. The , play in Ihe first 1(1 minutes was fast j and even, a goal for Sydenham, scored by Skelton, being quickly followed by Hell finding the net for , Selwyn. From this on for the greatier part of the spell Sydenham did | all Ihe attacking, but were unable to increase the score. A well-judged ! pass from Pascoe let Throp away on his own, with only the goal- . keeper to pass, but he shot too soon ' and Brown made a brilliant save. ! Some fast work by the forwards of I both sides followed, and W. Pat--1 rick scored for Sydenham. Selwyn made great efforts to score, and after ; being penalised several limes for j off-side play, a good attack ended in ! Doreen landing a fine goal, and the spell ended two all. In the seei ond spell play was more even, but j lacked dash, bolh loams showing i signs of the want of condition. The j hacks cleared repeatedly with long j drives, Bowden being particularly ! effective in getting Sydenham out of ! difficulties. Bell scored again for Selwyn, and Sydenham replied with a goal netted by W. Patrick. The | result of some pretty passing | amongst the forwards was followed soon after by the winning goal, scored by Skelton. Messrs Hatch and Simpson satisfactorily controlled the game. SECOND GRADE.
