WANDERERS ROUND TO FORM.
Defeat oaebecs ana Run Total Up
70 Twenty Points.

The Wanderers. smarting under the de-
feat they sustained at the hands OF the
Quebecs on Saturday night, put up fine
exhibition OF hockey In the st. NICHOLAS
Skating Rink last night and defeated the
Vancouver team by q score OF IL goals to
8. This makes the Wanderers total 20
'or tw3 games and unless there Is some
high scoring In the game between the
Quebecs and Vancouvers Tomorrow night,
assures the Wanderers place in the final
games for the big purse.
II was a beautifully played game. fast
from the start. and In spite OF the speed
Of the skaters, there was no unnecessary
roughness. only one player being put of
the Ice Ross got five minute sentence
In the first period for cross checking.
Taylor and Patrick played on the Van
couver six. These are veterans at tho
game and they did well, but were not sup
ported by the other members or the
team. Taylor was the fastest man on
the ice, and his lodging was appiauded
frequently. For the Wanderers Moran
was the star. He was at goal. and time
after time he stopped shots made only a
few feet away. and II was his work that
saved his team from defeat.
Five Of the goals made by the Wander
ers were by Hyland. three of them un-
assisted. The two Cleshorns. who once
played as amateurs here, did well and
helped much to make the Wanderers win
the game.
The Canadian game Is wonderfully fast
and clever and the players keep the puck
moving from the time the whistle Is blown
until the finish, and there is not a dull
moment in the contest. The lineup:
