FIRST HALF FAIRLY CLOSE
Huntington and Hicks a Host in
Themselves and Visitors
Sweep All Before
Them on Ice.

Playing fast and aggressive hockey
the team representing the Boston A.h.
letic Association made short work OF the
St Nicholas Skating Club seven at the
ST. Nicholas Rink last night At the
end of the second twenty.minute half
the score stood 10 goals to 0 in favor Of
Boston
In view Of the fine showing made BY
the local team in previous contests
close game had been expected, conse.
quently the large crowd present went
away disappointed. While the result OF
the first half, 3 to o in favor Of Boston
the outcome of the second period was
nothing short Of a rout
From the opening face-off it was an.
parent that the Boston team knew too
much about the fine points of the game
for their opponents Huntington and
Hicks were a host in themselves, the
first named getting down the ice like
flash. making il next to impossible for
a local skater to carry the puck far.
Hicks broke up plays in aggressive fash
ion but If trif1e rough, there was moth
ing unfair IN his work.
Leslie, the speedy left wing Of the visit
ing combination, also worked like Tro-
jan, and II was he who made Boston's
first goal on pass from Hicks after four
minutes and twenty-five seconds OF play.
For a time following that the st. Nicho-
las men fought desperately, but they were
pcwerless to make much Roadway agains,
the speedy attack Of the opposition. Chew
and Morgan did manage to get shots at
Boston's cage, but the alert Canterbury
easily got In the way. About the middle
of the half several members Of both
teams got tangled up in fierce scrin-

certain. but Pierson blocked and cleared
successfully, and the crowd let up great
cheer.
After seventeen minutes of playing
Hornblower carried the puck along the
side wall and passed 1t to Clifford, who
shot fine goal. Only few seconds later
Hicks cut loose with a great rush, and in

shot a goal all alone. There was no fur
Their scoring in that half
When the teams appeared for the sec
ond half several changes In the lineup
were noticed Ellis took the place OF
Peabody on the local seven. the new man
going to centre while Stanley and Chew
went to the wings. Osgood also took
Leslies place on the other side, and
little later Duncan went in for Horn
blower and II. Foster took n. Fosters
place.
Osgood proved a useful Sub" scoring
for Boston in less than eight minutes
and q little later he counted again. The
speed of the visiting combination became
so dazzling that the local team was soon
placed almost entirely on the defensive.
Even when Morgan or Chew, two Of 81.
Nicholass fastest skaters. managed TO
get the rubber, he rarely got far before
one OF the speedy Bostonians would take
the puck away.
Goals followed each other so rapidly
that they became monotonous and had
it not been for brilliant rush by Chew
toward the end Of the game St. Nicholas
would have been BANKED. Penalties were
few and the game was free from rough
ness.
