the Old Orchard rink last night. At ten minutes
past nine the boyssin blue followed by those in red
filed on to the floor, amid the great applause of the
audience. Kelsey led off with the rush, but hit
from Goodrich sent the ball whirling to the other
end and then they had it snip and tuck" first at
one end and then at the other, when Goodrich
scored the first goal for the Old Orchards; time
minutes 15 seconds. Such cheer was never
heard at this rink.
Kelsey again led off on the rush and after six
teen minutes of hard playing Williams, of the For
est Citys, scored the second goal. How the boys
from Portland did cheer Hats were waved feet
stamped and shouts of joy rent the air.
again they went at it, and the Forest Citys gave
their friends chance to shout once more by get
ting the goal in one minute, scored by Williams
Inc next time Churchill captured the ball on the
rush and both sides itched in with a will and
played their best. The fine playing of both Smith
and Norway at the goals prevented any attempts
during hard fought contest of % minutes when
Dunn scored for the Old Orchards making tie on
goals.
At this time the Portland train arrived and half
the audience left the rink But the boys again
menced, Churchill leading on the rush. The excite
ment was intense and every movement was watched
with eager eyes, In seven minutes Williams again
scored the goal which won the game for the Forest
Citys. The cheering at the conclusion of the game
was almost deafening.
