_.Same Score.

Abcgweits defeated Victories here torias having an edge in the play‘.

lest night by a score of 3 to 2 after a splendid exhibition of hockey play- ed before a very small crowd of fans.

A perfect sheet of ice was readily taken advantage of by both sextettes. the result being clever stick-hand- ling, fast skating and Sparkling com- blnation-in fact last night's game was productive of more team-work than any game played in the Island League this season.

Victories with a somewhat chang- ed lineup surprised their most ardent admirers. Taken as a. whole, they were brilliant and Coach Tom Rog- ers who‘ handled them was equally so. Not once during the sixty min- utes of play were the Abegweits out of the bush. True. they led all the way, but by a mere margin of one goal—and in the last period were not only held scoreless, but forced to the limit in order‘ to keep out the tying count. It was a wonderful comeback by the blue and white squadron, and although trailing on the; lowly end of the league, have little to reproach themselves with

lfior last ‘night's exhibition of hoc- .

key. »

Abegweits, on the other hand are to be congratulated in winning from the blue and white hockey machine; their front line had to be carefully substituted by Coach Fred Moore andcvery player had to work like a ‘Ikojan to keep an even break in the play. Last__ night's admirable win- eevon much for the black and red puckstera who are yet a very serious threat for Prince Edward Island hoc- key. honors.

THE SCORES Fret Period

Opened cautious with both teams trying out tho respective goalies. Af- ter two minufos of play, Saunders and Gordon, fast-skating Abegwelt combination break through the Vic front line, Saunders going by the defence on a pass from Gordon to some the openinggoal. Five minutes later Saunders repeated, this time alone, from the red line. It was a waist-high ehot which breezed through three Vice to lodge behind Morgan. Twelve minutes alter the face-off, McEachern, playing his best same this winter, intercepted a pass i0 solo from the red line for a nice count.

INTERMEDIATE GAME Vice 3: Abblee 2

In thc second game between the intermediate teams of the Vice and Abbies, the Vics turned the tables on their opponents by a. score of 3-2.

The game started fairly slow, and after about three minutes of play the Abbles realized when Whitlock batted the puck into the Victories net from a mix-up. This livicned the play up somewhat and both teams went at breakneck speed for the I0- malndcr of the period, with no fur- ther scoring. '

In the second period after about l0 minutes cf play the Vics got their first counter when McFarlane scored on a shot from the wing. About one minute later McFarlane repeated with another shot from the wing. Again in about two minutes, Lewlor getting the puck at his own red line rushed to the Abbies red line and on a shot from outside the defence scored the Vice third goal. The Abbies then staged a fast offensive and realized when Sharon scored alter about 1'7 minutes of play.

There was noscoring ln the third period although in the last five min- utes the Abbles played five men up the ice only to be met by a stubborn Vic defence and when they did break through "Tid" McEwen in thc Vic net was unbeatable, he being a veritable stonewall. The game ended 3-2 in favor of the Vice, lfldll I result of their win list night the Vice are now tied with the Abbiee for _fir1t place in the Intermediate League,

While the great Benny is no hoc- key expert, he is an expert on condi- tioning athletes and it's a cinch that he will-keep the Pirates in top form throughout the season. The team which has been somewhat of a foot- ball in hockey environs during the early, fighting is showing signs of causing trouble, and with the Leon- ard backers unloosenlng the purse strings, Benny is determined to slvc Pittsburgh a. winner or, failing that. at least a team that is llp there! snarling and hissing every mlnutc while they are on the ice.

Leonard, who is new in the ice racket, got his first good break when,‘ following a salary dispute with Roy} Worters, his net troubles were solved‘ by Frank Calder, president of the National Hickey League, who advis- ed him that Joe Miller would be loaned to Pittsburgh to take the place of Worters. ‘In-en Leonard followed through by acquiring Frank Freder-

He has had a spotty career", but has always done a pretty slick Job in front of the nets. It will be recalled that Miller was with the New York Americans last sea- son and that when the team weiit into a slump Joe couldn't put up with the riding of the fans and asked to be transferred to the Americans fai-in ct Niagara Falls. His request was granted and Joe finished out the year at the Falls. In the play-off for the Stanley Cup last Spring it will be recalled that Lorrie Chabot, the Ranger goalie, was injured. Les Patrick, the manager of the Blue Shirts, went in front of the nets to finish out the game. After several hours‘ discussion as to who would tend goal for the New York foam for the remainder of the world series it was discovered that Miller had been named emergency goaler for the en- tire league some months previous. Joe, at his home in Ottawa, 0nt., W55 advised 0f the situation and hurried over to Montreal and made a name for. himself in the Rangers‘ successful battle with the Marooiis

The second-game between the Fly- .

The latter team have only played a few games but have real good material and with more practice and good coach- ing they look as though they would be real contenders for honors in thc future. We understand that they play the New Glasgow boys on the 13th. The games were capably refér- ecd by Messrs O. W. Campbell and Elmer Duffett and Messrs T. A.

The fact that Miller could not Stand the booing of the fans in New York last winter is unusual in sports, but in no sense of the word, unique. Some years ago Jacques Fournier threatened to retire from baseball because he couldn't stand the razz- ing of theBrooklyn fans. Gene Tun- ney made up his mind never to enter a. ring except to fight when he brought the heavyweight champion- ship baok to his home town, New York. and the reception accorded him when he was introduced from inside the ropes contrast/ed so unfav- orably with the cheers given by the same crowd to the man he had con- quered. Any number cf tennis and golf stars will pick up their rackets and clubs and refuse to g0 0n at the slightest manifestation of hostility from the galleries. Most professional athletes, however, have rhinocerous hides in this respect.

But Joe is happy now and his work may help make Benny Leonard a prominent figure in the hockey world.

A return game between the above hockey teams was played on the Mil- ton Rink on Friday evening Feb. 8m and resulted in a score of 5-2 in favor of the Granites. Although the ice was not in first class condition the game was real hockey ell the way through and it was not till the last period that either team made any special gain, the score being equal.

Both teams demonstratod real foam play and it ie diflicult notwith- standing tlie score to my which ie the better team. One special feature with tbeee teams is the clean way in which they play the game, making the work of the referee Mr. Pom! Hooper, a pleasure rather than l task.
