defeated the New York Athletic Club team
by score Of to at the st. Nicholas
Rink last night. This gives the Canadian
Importation a clear advantage over all
others in the Amateur Hockey League
championship race, and. incidentally, puts
New York out OF the running. Last nights

while the Winged Foot seven has won and
lost 3.
Although defeated. New York put up tho
best brand Of hockey IL has shown this sea-
son, and until within a few seconds Of the

charged with nothing worse than losfing.
AS rule, the officials saw nothing out OF
the way.
Although McGrath played rough hockey,
he was also brilliant. In fact. II was large
~ due to his stick work that his team owes
its success. Bulger and Lacken also played

puck been fed TO Denasha oftener the final
result might have been different
