HOCKEY CLUB BEATEN.
GAME LOOSELY PLAYED.
The st. Nicholas Screen Wins in Spite
of Indifferent York.

IT. an uninteresting and loosely played game
Of hockey the ST. Nicholas Skating Club de-
feated the Hockey Club Of New York last night
at the ST. Nicholas Rink by 8 goals to 4. Against
the weakened team the Hockey Club put on the
ice the leaders in the race for the championship
made o poor showing They should have scored
almost at will but instead they had to work
for every goal they made.
The first half ended 3 to / in favor Of the
St Nicholas players. but in the second period
the score was much more even. the winners
making four TALES while their opponents scored
three times In this half the Hockey Club team
improved greatly. due 10 the new men becom-
ing moro confident Ellison, the crack Hockey
Club goal tender. unable to play and Reg
ensburger took his place between the posts. 1t
was the latters first appearance in a senior
game and he was badly ratified In the first part
Of the game. In the second half he played
good game and stopped many hard shot
Allen, who took Reimunds place at right
wing also improved as the game progressed
He was miserably weak in the beginning, how
ever Bryan. Hammond and Russell played n
steady game, the former in particular surpris-
ing every one by his hard work in spite Of at
times discouraging support
The St Nicholas Skating Club seem to
have greatly deteriora ted In their play since
they met and defeated the champion Crescents-
They may be holding back in the hope Of max
ing the BrookIynites overconfdent. But wheth-
er intentional or not, their play has been loose
Of late, and. with the improved form of the
Crescents their chances at present look far
from rosy.
There was only one man ruled off last night,
namely, Marcus, and he thoroughly deserved
the two minutes penalty he received. He fell In
the second half when in possession of the puck
and, evidently thinking Harmon had trlpped him,
followed the latter and deliberately attempted TO
trip him
Marcus made the first two goals OF the game
unassisted the first on a hard shot from the Left
and the second after pretty run. SoutheT made
the next two tallies, one from long shot from
the right and the second on pass from k-
Gordon Wilder credited with the fifth goal
for his team. He rushed right into the Hockey
Club goal and puck, stick, player and all wound
up in a tangie in the net. Russell scored the
only goal for the Hockey Club in the first period
tally.
The Hockey club braced in the second half
and at times forced the playing. Wilder made
the first tally, and then Huntington, for the
Hockey Club. scored a goal which he made after
Aliens shot had been stopped by Hayward.
Souther and Wilder followed with two more goals
for St. Nicholas and then the Hockey Club
made one. Allen doing the trick. Wilder, on a
pass from X. Gordon, tailed again for st. Mich
olas and Bryan a long shot from the centre,
scored the last goal. The lineup follows:
