"The Detroit bunch has 1t on any
the north country teams mile
or clean hockey" is the opinion or
ne members of the Duluth hockey
sam. who lost the second and last
anne OF their series in the Arena
the locals by the decisive score OF
to ] last night.
Some OF the spectators rather
.pologiEed to us for the roughness OF
he Detroit men in the first game
aid one OF the players, but We
certainly had no kick on that score.
rhey play the cleanest hockey OF
any seven we have had to meet.
That IA encouraging TO lovers OF
the snort In Detroit for dirty work Is
what has done more harm 10 inc
same than anything else. For a while
n may bring q larger crowd than tue
tanner clean game, but II soon as
gusts and results In ban on the
sport. o.,
last nights game was not SO fast
as that Of the evening before; Con
trary to expectations Duluth oid no'
show up stronger, but was, II any
thing. somewhat less aggressive IMAM
on the evening previous.
Detroit, likewise, did not get tne
teamwork going that was evident the
n,ght before and most OF its goals
were as the result of individual rush
ss Myers starred in pointers, put
10 was fortunate in having the puck
nassad m him when he was in posi-
f,on TO score. Capt. Piett played MS
usual strong individual game, Han
hamburg showed up wen at Wing.
Emery was again strong at cover, out
was aided more last night by MS
point. ellis. than he had been by
he point of the evening before,
The superior condition OF the home
bunch told In last nights contests.
Lycept for bursts OF speed, Duiutn
lowed down after the first few min
.ues OF play In each half. At that
stroll had the game so safely stow
"a away that It was inclined TO loar
sSme itself. !.
Duluth. the northerners say, is
ucckey crazy. There is no suitable
rink for the game there and yet there
is CITY league OF four clubs besides
minor clubs that craw packed houses
regularly during the championship
rafnes and during these with outside
teams.
Hockey has baseball and football
rushed of the Duluth map, according
10 the players. They explain 1t by
the fact that both the baseball and
football seasons are very short and

The rink in which the Duluth teams
MAY is about as long as the Arena
II wide, and Is narrow. Next year,
II is assured. there will be a new rink
and the hockey men are predicting a
great season.
When the rink is completed

Country towns, the two "Soos," Am
trican and Canadian, Port Arthur.
Fort William in Canada and perhaps
enc or two other towns will probably

Detroit Is pretty far away TO get
into this league but the northerners
are sure that IL will get a chance to
see the teams of the league in action
as they will all be willing TO take
trips down this way. With Cleveland
and Detroit working in cooperation
In this matter, there is no reason why
the northern teams cannot be brought
fere II proper financial support is
given the Arena and Elysium man
agements.
Duluth has had its hockey revival
only within the last year Five years
ago II had an amateur team that man
aged to clean lp everything in the
country. Then the management OF
tie curling rink, In which the games
we're played. decided that they need
I'd their ice exclusively for the Scotch
game and for several years kept the
pnckchasers out of IL.
Last year they again permitted
hem to play there and the result was
popularity Increasing by leaps and
bounds. There are thousands OF Can
adams in the town, as there are In
Detroit, and they have seen TO II tina
their favorite sport was supported.
