One from Lewiston

The Augusta Hockey team defeated
the fast St. Dominique team of Lew
iston Wednesday evening by a score
of to in one of the fastest games
yet played the year. There was ac-
ton every minute of the time and
the Augusta players were obliged to
exert themselves to the limit in Or
der to win.
The outstanding feature of the
game was the clean manner in which
it was played. The only time that
the referee was needed was on off :
side plays and these were few and
far between. Both teams We're play
ing fast and furious. but at no time
was there any indication of rough
ness or deliberate fduling.
In the first period, Augusta Gagged
the puck within the first two min
utes. This opening score by Ryan
led some to believe that the local
team would have things their own
way. Jarvis also slid the rubber
through for another goal in this
period. The puck was certainly MIA
treated in this period, going from
one of the rink to the other. passed
and re-passed and lifted until it vas
hard to tell where it was located
The two scores for the second
period went to st. Dominique in the
last five minutes of play. One man
said that he had kept count of the
shots that the members of the Lew
iston seXtet had taken at the Angus

end gathered in another brace of
scores. These We're both made by
Williams. This last period witness
sed some of the fastest hockey of the
game. Both teams put in their best
licks to swing the score their way
and the spectators were right on edge
every minute. The puck was shot at
both goals ~ rapid succession and
there was nothing certain. about the
game until the last minute.
A large number OF spectators was
present to see this game and they
were greatly pleased at the fine game
which was played. Although the
Lewiston team was quite late in ar
irving, so that by the time they were
ready to play. the crowd had been
kept waiting for fully an hour, vet
they did not get impatient and they
We're fully repaid for the wait.
Referee Duffy had little to do as
there was but q few off side plays
and nothing else. Both teams PLAYED
the game in a very sportsmanlike
way and both tried and succeeded in
doing the right thing at all times.
Friday evening, the local team
goes to Lewiston for the return game
with this fast aggregation and they
fully realize that they have got to
put up very fine brand of hockey
if they expect to win.
The local players were all playing
such fine game that it is impossible
to pick out any one as a star Will
liams and MacGillvray played a great
game. They were there every time
to break up threatening plays and at
the same time they were aiwa,s ready
to put in their best work to realize on
their opponents goal. Captain JARVIS
played his usual fine game and besides
getting one of the scores in TIE first
he was continually placing the oppos-
ing goaltender in bad place. Ryan
and Haines were always there on the
defense and they also helped greatly
on the offense. Kenneth Jarvis. as
