Winged Foot men tied the score. and three
minutes before the end came scored the
winning tally
The victory practically settled the hshI
for the championship of the Amateur
Hockey League. The New York players
are still undefeated, and the remaining
games should be easy. They owe their VIC
tory last night to their wonderful goal
keeper. Mills who made marvellous stops,
sometimes four in as many seconds He
never got ratified and handled himself
ceverly. He had far more 10 do than
Woods, the Wanderers goa. Otherwise the
teams were evenly matched, and it was
enybody's game right up 10 the final
whistle, which caught eddie Cleghorn MAX
ing a dangerous rush into the New York
Athletic Club goal
The Wanderers, individually. outplayed
their opponents with the exception Of Cas-
tleman. but the New York team work was
more finished Castleman was all over the
ice and was never seen TO better advantage,
while Clarke, at rover played 4 most eff
fective game, his checking being as neat as
anything ever seen in the rink. Oddie
Cleghorn was too much for Peabody, while
il was nip and tuck between Denesha and
Bulger Broadfoot and White, at cover

Mills cleverly and broke up many a danger
rush.
For the Wanderers Oddie Cleghorn,
Smeaton and Dufresne did marvellous work

game. Smeaton never played better, and
blocked more shots than Woods IN goal
He repeatedly carried the rubber the whole
length of the ice. Dufresne. when he got
going toward the end of the first half,
played his usual sterling game. Sprague
CIeghorn had a hard man 10 handle in Cas-
tleman. but kept after him all the time,
while Harmon often got In on the nets
Jimmie Shirreff was missing from the
New York A c. lineup. Clarke taking his
place a rover Had the latter been put
in at left and Shirreff in his old place the
team would have been stronger.
The game was clean. considering the
keen rivalry. and only three men were ruled
off throughout the contest It shows that
the Wanderers, if they keep on the ice, are
the equal of any seven in the league.
The rink was so crowded that it was al
most impossible for those who came late
10 get to their seats, and the spectators
were standing three deep back of the
benches. while in the gallery they even
climbed the Orders At times the cheer
ing was so great that it was impossible for
the players to hear the referees whistle
for ofrsides. and the men kept playing on
a number Of occasions for a minute after
time was called.

the result the odds favoring the winners
at about TO 3.
The players OF both teams started with
a rush in an effort TO skate their opponents
off their feet in the first part of the
game and thus gain an early advantage
For the first five minutes the losers forced
the fight and got in three shots to the Op-
posing sevens' one but the Mercury Foot
ers soon found themselves. and ii was nip
and tuck, each side playing fast and hard
Broadfoot Castleman and Denesha made
a pretty run down the ace, but the latters
shot was cleverly handled by Woods. and
then Harmon and the two CIeghorns re-
turned together, but White stopped Har
mon before he could shoot. CastIeman
made one of his zigzag rushes through the
opposing line but fell as he was about to
shoot. After fifteen minutes of play Oddte
Cleghorn at last made a goal after Mills
had stopped three hard shots and rushed
out Of his net TO check on the fourth at

S. C1eghorn drew the puck at the opening

brother, who made a beautiful shot, which
Mills neatly turned aside. Dufresne fol-
lowed with good try after he had carried
the rubber the entire length of the fee,
The Wanderers outplayed the New York
men up to this point, but the team work
of the winners soon came into play, and
they repeatedly went right into Sneaton be-
fore being blocked. After nine minutes of
play Clarke stopped Oddie CIeghorn who
was rushing down the right, and. taking
the puck from him, made q beautiful shot.
which caught Smeaton and Woods off their
guard and landed in the nets for the teng
score.
The New York Athletic Club rooters went
wild and for the next five minutes the
pace was faster than ever, the Wanderers
peppering Mills with hard shots. eddie
CIegh0rn got bad fall when Castleman
knocked him into the boards, but he came
back after a rest, and then Clarke
knocked down and hurt his knee after
making beautiful run. Dufresne also re-
ceived d bad knock against the side, which
delayed the game for five minutes.
CastIeman was the first ruled off,
for tripping o. Cleghorn, and with the best
man off the team it looked bad for the
Winged Foot men, and several times the
Wanderers came within an inch of scoring.

showed great headwork in fooling with the
luck behind his goal and killing time
Castleman had not much more than got
