lAURIUM DEFEATS MOHAWK
IN AMATEUR HOCKEY GAME
interesting Games Take Place at the
Glaeiadom Last Evenins-Machin-
lists Beat Clerks--Tamarack
Store Team Loses.

Amateur hockey is proving quite as
popular I'm Mohawk as the league
games. Almost as large a crowd gath
cred last night To witness the contests
i'm the Glaciadom as the night before
when Mohawk defeated Calumet. The
games last night of which there We're
three were interesting from start to
finish and at times We're fully as fast
as the league games. The ice was in
excellent condition. The first game
probably attracted the most attention.
This was played between the Machin-
lists and store Clerks. What proved
to be an interesting feature In this
game was the fact that the greater
part of Mohawk's league team Is en-
ployed in either of the two places and
made them eligible to a place ON the
teams.
