LARGE NUMBERS SEE ICE HOCKEY
Plenty Of InterSt Shown in
 Games Played At Parks

Judging by the size Of the crowd at the Willow Brook park swim ming pool Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning and afternoon, in- dications are the ice hockey will shortly rival roller hockey for popu- lar favor and that the promoters of an indoor ice skating arena in this city would be reapinE the same harvest that other cities are experi- encing today.
 Five games in all were scheduled for the two days and the Shuttle Meadow team sailed serenely through it's first round matches without being hard pressed. The team is now leading the league with five victories in as many starts.
 The first game Saturday between Swift & Upson and Berlin. resulted in 8 score of 2 to in favor of the lumberHen. This was Berlin's first performance and the players are not yet really acquainted with each other. The team should give a good account of itself before the season Is over.
 The lineups of the teams were as follows: Swift & Upson. center, Spinney and Cote: right wing. Burke and Wallace: left wing, Ben- son and Van Oppen: left defense. Foster: right defense. LaFlamme, and goal, Parsons. Berlin: center, Silsby: left wing. Miglioli and Fer rero; right wing. Mcdonald and Sheldon: right defense. Salina; left wing. Donahue. and goal, Dowd.
 The North Ends gave Shuttle Meadow . harder game than the 9 to 0 score shows. If the losers had enough substitutes to make the same substitutions as the others do, the score would have been close. The North Ends started fast but the pace was too hot and the team tired in the closing period.
 The lineups follow: Shuttle Mea- dow: center. Higbee: right wing, Smart; left wing. Hart. Felt: left de- fense. Moore, Booth; right defense. Duncan. Twichell: goal. King. North Ends: goal. Sbymanoski: center, Kredcr; left wing, Vincent: right wing. Campbell: right defense, Doyle
