MANAWATU COMPETITIONS. BRO AD AV AY’S”FIRST LOSS. The Phoenix senior eleven had the distinction on Saturday of being the first team to lower the colours of Broadway A in the Alanawatu Hockey Association’s competition, and they did it in no uncertain manner, the score being four goals to one. Hitherto Broadway had had an unbeaten record, having had seven wins and a draw, as well as tlie honour of winning the Hawke’s Bay eleven-u-side championship tournament. It was a fast game, full of interest. Central Old Boys had a narrow win by five goals to four over Broadway B in the other senior encounter. Results were:— Senior.—Phoenix 4 v. Broadway A 1 ; Central Old Boys o v. Broadway B 4 ; Alassey College, a bye. Junior.—Combined Services 4 v. Alassey College 0; Phoenix 3 v. Broadway 0. Ladies.—Awahuri 3 v. Public Services 2; Broadway 6 v. Alanawatu Knitting Alills 0; High School Old Girls 3 v. Ivauwhatu 0. SENIOR GAAIES. It was generally expected that Phoenix would give Broadway A a great run fpr victory following tneir good display the previous week against Broadway B, but few could have anticipated their win by a three-goal margin. The pace was on from the start, and in the first spell the territorial honours were very even, although Phoenix netted one goal. Broadway had perhaps been a little unlucky, and it was anyone’s game when the second spell opened. Phoenix, however, took the upper hand and scored three more goals to Broadway’s one. For the winners Pink scored two fine . goals, and Morgan and Comber one each, while Drinkwater scored for Broadway. Afessrs F. McLnchlan and It. Alardon (Hastings) were the umpires. Central Okl Boys were never sure of their position and at times it looked as if Broadway'B might at last break their run of losses. However, the former carried off tlie victory by a one-goal margin. For the winners R. Hoare (3), Philips and Nesbit scored, while Quigan (2), AVard, and Hancock goaied for Broadway B. Messrs L. Alartin and B. Palenski held Cue whistles. THE JUNIORS.

Combined Services played well and were always on top to defeat Massey College 4—o, and Combined Services now go within a point of the College, who still remain at the head of the championship table. I. Byers (3) and Leader were the scorers. Messrs AV. Sutton and B. Palenski umpired. Phoenix had the measure of Broadway right through and won by three goals to nil. Cosgrove (2) and Patehett were tlie scorers, while Alessrs R. Hoare and AA T . Philips were tlie umpires. RESULTS ELSEWHERE. Auckland. —Possibles 4 v. Probables 2; Somerville 5 v.

BRISBANE, July 25. The Queensland hockey representatives drew with New Zealand 2-all. The teams were : New Zealand. Smellie, Clark, Alahoney, AAhatson, Robertson. Lodcr. Burtt, Brown, Duffield, Houghton, Day. Queensland. —AA'atson. Barnes, Scott, Parkinson, Jack Alahoney (captain), Anstev, Schulte, Best, Hnndby, Bowden, W. Alahoney. Hnndby opened the scoring, AAmtson equalising, and the half-time score was one-all. Roughton put New Zealand in front, but Queensland pressed hard during the last quarter of an hour, Scott scoring from a penalty bully in the last half-minute in a sensational finish. A more liberal application of ' the advantage rule might have resulted in more Queensland goals. Duffield, Roughton, and Burtt were fJio host Now Zealand forwards. The lialf-lino was splendid, Robertson being brilliant and Clark the outstanding hack. The goalie, Smellie, saved many shots of rocket force brilliantly.
