FAST BATTLE At HOCKEY
Hockey Club Beaten in Eighth
Consecutive Game.
NEW YORK A. C. VICTORIOUS
Peabody Works Cleverly with
Denesha, Who Is skilful at
Shooting Goals.

Fighting hard, but hopelessly to the end
the Hockey Club Of New York lost It's
eighth consecutive game in the Amateur
Hockey League championship series at the
St Nicholas Rink last night The team
in question was defeated goals to 2 by
the New York Athletic Club, which viii
finish its season in third place.
Better team work made the New York
seven always master Of the situation. Pea
body. the clever left wing, worked well IN
conjunction with the elusive Densha, who
souirmed in and out through the opposing
line like a snake. Three of the goals cred
ited to the Winged Foot team were scored
by Denesha, two in the first half. Rem
mund at centre did good work for New
York also breaking up the plays of the op-
position with machine-like regularity.
II credit is due one player more than
another. Woods, the New York Goalkeeper,
IS probably the man, Rarely has player
been subjected TO such fusillade OF shots
as he was, especially in the first half. The
Hockey Club players sent the puck hyinG
his way from all angles. Sometimes The
rubber would skim along the ice; other
times it would come al him waist high, and
the wonder is that the opposing side did
not count at least 3 more goals than II
did. For the Hockey Club the speedy Brit
ton was as aggressive rs ever. shooting
the puck with great velocity, but the New
York players covered him well. His efforts
were also handicapped as he played cover
.seI,t 10, a ahCanpa 1iSnp.
After the opening face-off the Hockey
Club quickly carried the battle TO New
York ice. both Britton and Fredericks
shooting hard ones at the net, which were
oloyerly blocked by Woods. New York
then took a hand at rushing, but Regens-
berger the Hockey Clubs goal tender,
checked one likely shot though minute
later Renmund sent the rubber past him
for the first goal, the time being 24o. The
first pepaIty was imposed upon Hargrave,
the Hockey Club left wing. being guilty of
slashing For ten minutes thereafter the
puck was hustled hither and thither up and
Gown and many times straight at one or
the other cages without once finding the
back of the net until DeneSha scored the
second goal from a scrimmage. A little
later the same player counted again Tor
New York, making the score TO 0 in favor
OF New York.
The first count for the Hockey Club re-
suited when Fredericks shot the rubber
past Woods on a long side shot. Fredericks
counted again about two minutes before
the close Of the half, taking the puck on a
pass from Mckenzie, New York had a
chance 10 add another goal shortly before
the bell. but Reinmund in his haste shot
wild. That left the score to 2 at the end
of the first period.
The way the Hockey Club players went
ut their opponents after the intermission
made II appear as if a close game would
result During the first ten minutes neither
side was able 10 count. Britton rushed the
puck close 10 the opposing cage on one
occasion and would almost certainly have
scored had Denesha not thrown his stick.
J'or this Illegal checking the Winged Foot
rover was given an extra minute penalty.
New York then put on more speed, giving
Regensberger all kinds Of shots TO stop.
Reinmund finally counted after 1926.
Goodwin made the next goal for New York
ON a pass from Denesha. Shortly after
this both Goodwin and Reinmund were
penalized. New York had only five men
on the ice then, and all agreed it was the
Hockey Clubs opportunity to do some
thing The unexpected happened, however,
ior. short handed as it was, New York
counted again, Denesha doing the trick on
q pass from Peabody I'm 1876.
