The game last night was a vhirl-
wind AFT ir. the men from Boston sup
plvirr the whirlwind. The actual score
is no indication of what might really
have happened had the Boston A. A.
team gone out for record number OF
Goals. instead of being satisfied TO let
we'll enough alone. Playing the way
they did last night, the Hub seven is
more than likely 10 do things 10 the
champio when next they meet.
The firm OF Osgood and Jones. rover
and right wing, respectively, on the
visitors team, did most of the goal
manufacturing. each scoring three.
The other Boston men to cage the puck
were Captain Huntington, Hutchinson
and Peabody. Brtton and Patton each
scored a goal FOR the Hockey Club.
The Boston seven was az fast as
HOBBY Baker himself. and the passing
shown by the men surpassed anything
seen a. the rink this season. Jones
started the scoring bee in the first pc
Rod, seven minutes after the game be-
gan. taking the puck down the ice
alone. The crowd had chance 10 yell,
however. couple OF minutes later,
when Brtton, the scrappy coverpoint OF
the Hockey Club, worked his way
through the Boston forwards and
slammed the disk into the basket.
Captain Huntington and Jones strted
a rush down the ice five minutes before
the first half ended. passing the puck
back and forth so fast az 20 confus, the
Hockey Club players. and Huntington
ended by scoring another goal. Jones
only waited four minute before adding
another 20 Boston's total, and two min
utcs later the half ended.
The Hockey Club still hoped 70 come
out ahead. and at the beginning OF the
second half went into the battle with a
vengeance. determined to make up in
hard knocks what they lacked in tech
niquc They received a temporar, set
back when the blond Jones drib' led
the puck down the entire length OF the
rink and made a goal in less than q
minute.
The local team soon gathered itself
together and Tough, tooth and nail
Boston men going down right and LEI,
in the grand melee tina. followed
At one tlmc Patton and Crova. were
ruled of simultaneously and the
Hockey Club was left with only five
men on the ice. The tao gentle en-
benched by Johnny McGrsth, the fight
ins referee. had been guilty Of tripping
and other rough work. and two minutes
after they went back on the ice Ernie
nufrcsne 90, a three minute lsy-of for
checking OF the most violent kind.
The giant Skilton. OF Boston. was
sent to the bench just before the final
whistle blew, his stick having become
cntangled in Crovat's legs in some IN
accountable manner.
