Two other teams passed off the Amateur Hockey
League stage of the St. Nicholas Skating Rlnk IaSt
night, and TO the general surprise or hahuIu
Of spectators the Crescent Athletic Club lett lhe
ice winner. The contesting seven was the oI
Nicholas Hockey Club and the fnaI score was

the Crescent Athletic Club in tie for thlrd place

coverpoint and his absence greatly weakened the
team. Still the Crescents outfought St Nlchoias'

uphill game.
The contest was Of the most interesting OF
the season. It was not particularly good hockey
and there was only one goal-the last-which was
the result of any team play. The game was
lively however, and as the players worked ull-
usually hard it was decidedly exciting.
1t was a mighty clean contest for close game
The only player to be penaized was Putnam, OF
St Nicholas, who got a two minute rest during the
first half for violating one of the minor rules or
the sport.
St Nicholas had decidedly the better Of the hrst
half The men forced the play, and notwithstano-
