The New York Athletic Club members
had an idea earlier in the season that their
hockey players knew something about the
game. They think differently now. Last
night they travelled across the Brooklyn
Bridge 10 try and wrest the championship
from the Crescent Athletic Club. They
failed. The score was only ~ goals to 1 in
favor Of the Crescents. and it might have
been more,
The scene in the old Clermont Avenue Rink
was one that will long be by
lovers OF the game. Feeling ran high be-
cause the New Yorks and Crescents are rivals
In all sports and the dual meets between
these two clubs are more holly contested
than any fights that have ever been kno WIN.
The battles between the Greeks and the
Trojans are nothing to them and 80 last night
In the ramshackle old building, In spite OF
its discomforts. all hands were happy be-
cause there was to be a game the like OF which
had not been seen before,
They were not disappointed In the game.
1t was a wonder In a way. The Crescents took
the lead by lightning play right from the
start. In five minutes they had their oppo-
nents winded and then they scored almost at
will. II was the worst defeat any lea que team
has had this year. and it gives the Crescents
the u%ndisputed right to the championship
and puts the cam in a class almost by Itself.

the Mercury Foot banner and the strains Of
the parting song OF the trescents still rang in
their ears. II ran this way. and was sung TO
the tune OF Give My Regardsto Broadway:
Give our regards 10 Broadway;
Tell them we're not so green;
when you get back 10 old New York
Tell them who you've seen:
Tell them OF how we wondered
How you have won before;
when you get back to Broadway
Tell them the nnal score.

The New Workers. went over the Bridge
very strong. The members OF the club had
reserved for them the south side Of the rink
and one-half OF the gallery. and they were
determined TO do all they could for their
team by roofing. In the crowd were Ben
