ST. NICKS MEET DEFEAT.
Hockey Champions No Match for
Victorias, of Montreal.

By "a goals TO the Victoria Hockey Club. OF
Montreal. occupying third place in the senior
league. defeated the St. Nicholas Skating Cluo'
champions OF the Amateur Hockey League. in an
international hockey match at ST. Nicholas Skating
Rink last night. The play. aside from the first
five minutes was all in St. Nicholas territory with
the Canadian men forcing the play all the time
The local team was without the services OF
Souther. the brilliant forward. who was unable TO
play owing to injuries received few weeks ago.
This necessitated a change In the lineup and
Marcus went to centre. X. Gordon played rover and
Wagstaff took Narcuss place at left wing In the
first half and Leake in the second period. Wag-
staff played good game at left and should have
been kept in the game. The other members OF the
team were the regular men.
The Canadian defence was made up entirel5 OF
the intermediate players. but the forwards were all
of the senior seven. and they gave wonderful ex-
hibition OF hockey and fast skating. The most
noticeable feature Of their play was the manner In
which they fell back and helped out the defence
The men so much faster skaters that they
could always reach their own goal before the local
men had chance to shoot
Great things are always expected Of Bowie. one
of the greatest players in Canada. but the manner
in which he played last night was a revelation to
those who have seen him here in other matches.
He never played such a brilliant game as last
night. and practically whole team in himself.
The way in which he handed the puck his stick and
his fast skating brought forth rounds OF applause
No st. Nicholas man could stop him when he got
fast usual.
For St, Nicholas the two Gordons played we'll d,
Gordon was the strongest man OF the defence.
Hayward at goal could not stop the puck when
once the Canucks got in on him. as they were too
quick, and such wonderfully accurate and strong
shooters
1t was clean game from star. to finish. only
Wagstan being ruled OFF for a slight offence. The
first half ended 10 to 4. and the second period to
4. making the final score 10 to s.
The Montreas made the first two goals in about
two minutes. and few seconds later X Gordon
scored the first point for the locals, and minute

OF the rink and passed 10 him
Bowie tailed the next point after Hale had made
