one Of the cleanest contests Of the win

While the game was free from dirty
work" that has marked the playing of
both teams throughout the year, there
were several accidents that stopped the
plav. once Turk" Smith was struck
under the throat by stick and dropped
10 the ice. He. however, finished out the
game. A few minutes later Mcdonnell
fell and slid into the boards and was
knocked out for few minutes. The only
bit Of real dirty work" happened when
Almond struck Harmon rather low, and
the latter dropped to the ice. The dow
was a foul one. However, 1t escaped the
notice of the officials.
II was a decided surprise TO the spec
tators TO see the Wanderers outplay the
wearers Of tho Winged Fist throughout
the greater part of the first period. There
were several strange faces on the Wan
derers' team: one was Cleary. who played
cover point, and another was OKeefe
who was at right wing.
The Irish team started the scoring in
the first period. l<lgour was responsible
for the first goal. II was made on pass
from McGrath after minutes and J."

the score by rushing in on a rebound OF
