Championship.
TIE title will be decided BY h play.
IT, O: two games. one at the local rink
80, saturday night and h other at
Teton later. OF course. IL the teams

,y,d another game will be confessed
,,ri II probably will go 20 n neutral RIM.
T-,e-c were "A number OF REASONS TOT
go defeat of the league champions last
,.eht. but the one that stuck out most
.,s The inability Of the hone team TO
,core more goals than the VISITORS. TnaS
s sufficient to lose n hockey game.
vh.ther IL be for tho championship or
merely for exercising. Then enere was
smother important reason. n on which
eli o,hsrs depended. That was the ABB
..rce Of IIobey Baker. His absence In
.Inclen, reason TO make the 81 Nicke
80 almoS, any game. for he has won
,,ast o. their games for them. II also
Gins the other team in making II less
fearful.
mo former Princc;onian's absence was
enforced through an accident In which
No. scalicd both his arms with steam.
The Injuries mas keep him out OF the
game ncNt Saturday night also. Boston
rooters are not praying for his speedy
recovery The tuicorns had everything
20 gain and nothing to lose. A defeat
could not have done worse than left the
cam iu second place. while n victory
would pa, them in n running for the
.it!e. They took chances which they
probably would not a taken had the
garlc been earlier in the season and
which they certainly would not have
taken had Baker been on the ice.
That the game went an extra period
shows we'll enough how eager a team
w. to win. That Boston won II In the
ed was due more TO good luck than
good play. The goa, which actually won
