' . KABOEI I'AEK GAMES. !;• Gamblers' (4 goals) defeated Wellington j . 0)V -This, game was fast and open, and the "hockey good. But -from the- start :', EalnblerS' superior combination told on | the' opposing team. The winners had ; .the best ..of the game, but Wellington i ' .'jiiade-things' lively., at . times by,- fast ;.- ; jjassing' rushes, .but these always seemed ■• tp v 'be muddled by oile of their players movement looked promis- > ing:'' ..Chainpness, at bully, was a towor ■ .of strength-for his side. .Johnston aiul i: "Wheatley played, very well for the winjv: oers. '..The' Eamblers' forward line comV: bihed.excellently, and,at times had the f opposing backs' completely bewldered I: The winners are to be congratulated on j their victory, which gives them one point ' . lead in the championship. Eor the Eain- {■" biers goals were scored by Wheatlev (3)' 1 and Johnston (I).' O'Brien scored ' Wel- ! lington's only goal. Messrs/ Edwards ! and Pragnell controlled the game. I '! ■ : KABORI A V. CENTRAL. , Karori A scored a win over Central i - by the big total of 8 goals to 3. The game was disappointing so far as Central .was concerned, the team showing a laeK ; of-initiative. It can safely bo said that j ..had Moore been in goal for Karori thcro i .wbujd not have been so many scored. K.i The .Karori forward lino is excellent, ; ! and probably the best in Wellington, f-. ,while;; the. backs are sound. On the ; day's play Karori havei a good chance ; of gaining the championship, though in ; ■ Eomo quarters it is thought that -Wellington : and Eamblers have it between : them. However, there may be somo sur- ' prises before the end of-the round. The k game was controlled by Messrs. Empson and Lloyd., f JTJNIOE GEADB. Wellington succeeded in defeating i Karori by 3 goals to nil. The game was I .very evenly contested; and Karori were | unlucky in not scoring several times. Jn this some comment was -causid among the speotators by the otfside tactics of both the Wellington wing for-
trnrds. Huia bad another easy victory'over i Wesley A, defeating them by 7 goals to ; nil. The game was too one-sided to be ' interesting. Wesley B defeated,Univer- ' Bity B. LADIES'MATCHES., • !
