The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1902-09-29

at the same time it is only fair to the
st. Paul stick handlers to say that time
and again the Winnipeg goal was
saved more by good luck than hard
play. Shots rained in on the flags
would glance off the poles and roll to
one side, or would pass just fraction
of an inch to one side.
The home men of the visiting team
were in superb form, and succeeded in
drawing out the local defense almost at
will; their superior speed also stood
them in good stead, and many brilliant
attacks on Custodian Mossop's flags
We're cheered by the crowd.
The greatest weakness of the st.
Paul team was in the field, the Winni-
peg men being particularly strong in
this respect, and seemed to have little
trouble in keeping the ball in st. Paul
territory most of the time.
For ST. Paul Armstrong worked like
a beaver, and with his side partners,
Elliott and Whyte, started many COM
bination plays that looked dangerous
until Flett, Brett and Cattenack got in
their heavy body work and secured
possession of the elusive sphere. On
the defense, Jones and Murphy were
conspicuous all the time and they
had to be, for the ball was in their
immediate vicinity most of the time.
Sheperd and McAuley aided them ably,
have been many times the size it was.
Locals Take a Brace.
In the field Clarke, Wadsworth and
Oehme worked hard, but seemed to
lack the speed of the men who opposed
them. Toward the close the locals
took brace, and ten minutes of fierce
play secured two goals, which were
nut through by Clarke and Whyte.
At the face off the ball Travelled
down on the st. Paul flag, where vi
cious shot was deftly turned aside
by Jones before play had been in prog
ress twenty seconds. Then the scene
of activity was transferred to the other
end, where Slattery put in one that
West had some difficulty in stopping.
Laidlaw and Armstrong exchanged
hard body checks until the referees
whistle recalled them to a sense of
what was going on, and thereafter I'M
til O'Brien scored in fourteen min
utes the play was even.
Two minutes Sufficed for the second
game, O'Brien repeating the trick after
WHITE had vainIy endeavored to get
one by the stonewaIl defense of the
visitors. In the third game Sheperd
Twas moved up to the home and Stat
terry went back to defense, but the
change did no good, for the ball was
sent into the net from a scrimmage
in front OF the SOdlJ was III
pressed, and passed back to Jones,
who had no time to handle the ball,
and before he had it on his stick the
visitors had hustled it through.
Hennessy came to the front in the
fourth game, his play being brilliant
feature. He responded to the applause
which greeted his efforts by sending
the rubber through in five minutes.
In this game Elliott and Armstrong
made one of the prettiest combination
runs in the match, but John Flett prov
ed an obstacle too great to be over
come.
. Long Shot by Hennessy.
The fifth game was scored by Win
nipeg on long shot from Hennessy.
Mossop stopped the ball but it rolled
through.
seemingly at will, the home Of the visiting
foam having much the better of the argu-
,oent against the defense of the home
into the goal, where he did good work.
ARMSTRONG played at point, and though he
ctonped many shots was not proof against
fhe hail of straight ones sent in by Hen
nessv, O'Brien, Pentland and McGregor.
