tie. While the score was OVERWHELMINGLY
in. favor OF ST. Paul, it gives but faint
and the fierceSt exhibition ever seen: IN
st. Paul The CalumetS. were heavily
handicapped by the iildisposition of Percy
RubIidge, and, knowing that they were
going down to defeat, the Chicago players
went into the game with determination
to make victory cost the yictors dear.
Every inch of ground was Stubbornly

defense was impTegnable,7 and HaineS, III
goaia refused to allow anythipgto get
into the net. Rubridge's sinuously twist
ing in and out was missed by the Caiu-
NETS, and try as they might they We're
unable to score.
In the last quarter Morrison went to
the home side vowing that he would
score against the Saints or die in the at

all through the quarter and did some
marvellous work, but was unable to. pleaf

accuracy At cover point Brown. was
a stone wall. while Armstrong, immedi-

shots and cleared the goal repeatedly.
HaineS did some fine work both In the
nets and in the adjacent territory.
Rayrnond's play was sensational and
several times he carried the ball to- the
net, his fleetness. of foot always standing
him in good stead. Towards the finish he
weakened somewhat owing to lack of
consistent game at outside home and
kept the Calumet defense jumping all

Elliott and Kervin brought off good plays
nearly every minute and their work was
always fast and clean. In the entire
game there wasn't more than; half
dozen misses by the Saints The lineup:
