Gagged From the Spot.
In the last period the Grays plainly
showed the effects of the strain and bt :
came ratified.
The game last evening was the first thi s
season in which the visitors have white
washed home team at their own rink.

Completely outplayed from start to
finish, tells the story Of the victory won
