bull made hard drive at the cage from
the middle of the hall. White stopped 1t
but before he could recover himself Whip
pie had made another goal.
The Lewiston rooters, of whom there
were many in the audience, were complete
ly disheartened and the Portland sympa-
thizers had another spasm of joy.
Now Portland's luck turned. Mckay,
who WAS putting up his usual fine game
at center. broke his skate and Lincoln
came on the floor in Waipple's place
while Whipple went to center. The
change of men at this point was dis
asterous. Before Whipple had got down
to his defensive work and while Lincoln
was making some of the finest kind of
shots at the goal Furbush made a hard
try for the Portland goal from the center
of the hall and Gagged Lewiston's first
coal go that the score stood at the end of
the first period Portland 2, Lewiston 1.
Allen made twelve stops in this period
and White fourteen. just as the bell rang
Lewiston Gagged the ball again but the
goal was not allowed by the referee.
The excitement of the big crowd was
now ct fever heat. The two teams were
both playing we'll and it seemed a toss
ND as to which would win out. The Sec
ond period opened with little more at
tempt at scientific work on both sides.
Campbell was as yet stranger to the
Portland team work and didn't seem to
get into the game as well as was.ex-
pected. His thumb troubled him oonsid-
erably but when he got the chance he did
well. Whipple and Turnbull were playing
in their best form. After some six min
utes of play Walton made drive for the
Portland goal. Allen stopped the ball
and kicked it out in front of the cage.
Tarrant seized the chance and popped it
into the Portland cage tieing the score
or Lewiston.
Here the crowd was yelling at the to p
of its lungs and the excitement was abso.
lutely awe inspiring. The play grew
faster and faster and some of the finest
kind of work was done on both teams.
Mckay and Turnbull were playing a
great game on the defensive while both
White and Allen were doing wonderful
work at the cages. When Campbell by
his quiokness and accuracy got goal for
Portland and once more headed Lewiston
the audience was delighted and the sec
ond period ended with things looking
we'll for the home team. Allen made
thirteen and White eighteen stops in this
period.
The game was SO hot in the third period
with Portland one goal in the lead that
the players became well nigh exhausted.
No attempts were made at fine passing
and Juggling now. 1t was slug when the
chance came and trust to luck for caging
the ball. Tarrant and Walton were fore
ing matters while Portland played main
ly defensive game. A lucky shot by
Tarrant sent the ball past Allena and
tied the score. The few remaining min
utes were made extremely exciting by the
fast work of both teams in vain en-
deayor to secure another and deciding
goal, but the third period ended with the
score still tie. Allen made sixteen stops
in the third period and White made nine.
1t took six minutes to finish the game
and it WAS the hottest polo ever seen il.
this city while it lasted. Luck was d
great factor in winning the game for
Lewiston for after Allen had successfully
kicked out few hard ones and at mo-
ment when Turnbull and Mckay had
been drawn away from the goal Walton
shot up and drove the ball into the nett
ing, winning the hardest fought contest
| in Maine this season.
