Tho Wanderers ~ Montreal took n
commanding lead in The final Of the
Canadian professional hockey series by
outscoriug tho Quebec team in the first
section Of their match 10y IL TO s last
night al ihc ~. Nicholas Hink The
Montreal players showed much more
speed than in their preliminary game
against Les Canadiens last week and
row look like sure winners OF the s2,hOO
purse. AZ all they have TO do is to hold
tn. Quebccs when they meet In the iinal
session tonight. There are some who
believe. however. that the Quebec team
is capablc Of overcoming the great odds
against u, and to-night's match Is ea-
pectcd to ne ono of the most scnsa-
tional ever seen at the local rink
For , time last night, 1t looked as II
the Quebecs were the better team and
would have the advantage AZ the end OF
the first session. They were the FIRST TO
score when Mcdonald shot one in on a
pass from Mcnamara, the covcrpoint OF
the Quebecs. The game hardly had got
under way when this happened. and the
Quebecs held the lead FOR quite come
time. Then VI. smith. subbing fer the
Wanderers. made good with n goal which
tied the game Thereafter each team
succeeded in making two goals for the
period and the score ended a tie at S-3.
In each case 1t was Quebec that
scored first and therefore the Wanderers
never took the lead, Again In the Sec
ond half Quebec scored first, Malone
getting one from faceoff. and the Blue
was in the lead again. The lead did not
last long, however. for Baker and Rob
erts scored two IA rapid succession for
the Wanderers and put their squad in
front for the FIRST time during the night.
Tho Wand,rers made IL "A walkover from
that time on. getting four more in the
period. Hyland made two of them
within six seconds and the score at the
end Of the period stood -.
Raker-not HOBBY. but Buster
opened the third period by adding two
TO the total of the Wanderers. getting
them within twenty-four seconds. and
the QuebcGs were left nowhere. NJ
Donald helped the Quebecs out a little
by scoring two more for his team. both
on passes from Mcnamara, and IIy-
land finished the game with mother for
the Wanderers when only TWENTY-FIVE
seconds Of the game were left. While
Prodgsrs showed = great deal of Inn
rrovement and was a tower of strength
