Pacific Coast hockey teams have
the edge over the Eastern cham
pions in inter-league contests. win
ming three OF the five played TO
date. but not on any occasion has
thu touring team been triumphant.
Quebec. Ottawa and Canadiens have
coast. and Victoria, and Portland
took the short end of the count in
matches played on Eastern ice.
Rosebuds Nearest I'm Scores
Portland probably made IL closer
than any other visiting team in
worlds series. When they went
down to the central belt in 1915. the
Portland Buds lost three out of five
matches. all OF which. with one ex-
ception, were decided by a one goal
margin. Portland won the first
match by a 20 score This is the
only time that a shutout has been
scored in interleague clashes. The
teams split even in the first four
matches. In the deciding game the
Canadiens won. 81.
Every member OF the Vancouver
and Seattle teams. with the excep-
ton of doc" Roberts and speed"
Moynes, is hardened campaigner
insofar as playing in worlds series
is concerned. so there will be no
such thing as stage fright TO bother
them on the Eastern trip. Leste~
Patrick has been thru two worlds
series campaigns. while Foyston
has played for Toronto against the
coast winners and for Seattle
against Eastern winners.
