MI Att W ullOcICrS scoring was
cne in the last ten minutes of play,
wher the local players started fur-
ous attack, shooting the puck at the
goal from every angle and a. every
opportunity. Mickey hoach the local
rover. was the man who made all the
'allies for the Wanderers. His work
during this period was 4 revelations
and each Of mis- goals was made with
out assistance.
For a few minutes il looked as
though the Pittsburgh team was a bit
ratified by the suddenness of the Wan
derers' attack, but soon the visitors
steadied down again. and held COM
nand. The last goal. scored by Roach
was made one second before the game
onded-in fact, the whistle blew at the
moment the puck landed IN the net.
J. Mccormick Busy
5oc sicCormick. the right wing OF the
Pirates, was the brilliant and individual
star OF the game last night, scoring
three goals and being power on the
offence at all times, The way in which
he streaked down the ice. unaided to
shoot the puck in from the side at the
most difficult OF angles was a revela

one man who stands out prominently
above his fellows. Drury, the Pitt
rover did not shine with the brlliancy
that he did on Monday night in the
first game. but there were reasons for
this.
Drury was twice the victim Of pain
ful accidents. once skating head on into
the side boards when checked by Roach
during mad struggle for the puck
and he < trcl, h,- bo
ant referees skate when he came into
collision with that official.
These heavy falls seemed to rob
Drury of some of his speed in the
second period. but at that he was all
over the ice. getting into every play,
handling the puck like a past master
and scoring one of the goals on a
beautiful shot from the side as he
swooped down on the Wanderers goal
The most noticeable thing about the
Pittsburgh teams play last night was
the amazing skill with which the
players followed the puck. No mat
ter how swiftly it was passed, there
seemed always a Pirate player there
TO receive it. 1t was a case of speed.
Wanderers were not quite certain
just where the next assault was coming
from.

Drury was the first to score in the
second session. taking the puck down
the ice the length of the rink and then
catapulting it into the cage from close

minutes of play. Joe Mccormick
scored twice in the next three minutes
once on a pass from Naglc and once by
himself. lodging his way through the
entire Wanderers team. Madden was

before the finish for arguing with Nc
