even in the face OF light patronage.
The Duluth games did not draw an
over-abundance OF spectators because
the thought OF representative De

didn't know exactly what sort OF
hockey would be played. These games
were first-class and showed that De

cope with any in this country
Since the Duluth contests the De
troit seven has been strengthened by
the addition of a number OF new play
ers who learned the game in Canada
and who haven't forgotten what they
knew. IL is doubtful If another city
in the United States can boast OF as
many first-class amateur hockey play
ers as Detroit has brought 10 light IN
the few weeks OF the Detroit Amateur
hockey season already passed. All
that is necessary 10 make the game
flourish here is little approval from
the public. II the folks in Detroit
want hockey, they can have il, as the
Arena people are perfectly willing 10
do their share towards making the
sport success.
