The opening OF the hockey season
ct the Amphidrome this evening will
attract big crowd and much interest
Is manifested ir the outcome of tho
initial contest. Hancock plays
lioughton and match between these
old time rivals 10 sure to prove fast
and exciting.
Linder will captain the team and
Monette will again play at goal. Lin
der will be at point and Rompf or
Waara VIII play at cover point. Boz
gan, Salminen, Stroud and Exley will
play on the forward line. and with

Indoor Baseball to Resume.
After suspension of games for a
week during the period of the holt
day rush, the indoor baseball games
OF the Fraternal league will be re-
sumed tomorrow evening, with games
between the Ancient order Of Hiber-
mans and the Naval Reserves and the
knights of Columbus and the Light
Infantry. The superiority of the Hi
bernians over the sailors has so often
been manifested that victory for the
boys in green Is almost a certainty,
which would restore to them the first
honors in the league standing, which
they now share with the Elks. The
match between the knights OF CO.
lumbus and the Houghton Light In
fantry will be a good one. both teams
being strong and fast and ranking
among the leaders in the leag ne
standing. iutt ,.tff tiNNb +
The indoor baseball game tomorrow
night between the knights OF Column
bus and the Houghton Light Infantry
will be played first instead of second
rs scheduled. The change is made on
account of the probability that 1t will
be a better and faster game than that
between the A. o. III. and the Reserves.
On Friday night the Elks and Ea-
giles and the Hibernians and Forest
ers will meet.
