There was no lagging at any time during the cight-inning scrap, al- though Webb's outfit were quite pre- pared to call it a day long before the finish, It was a shame the manner in which Burke's bunch treated Don Hankins and Stan Lucas, and that despite of the fact that the ex-De- troiter and the Toronto sandlot pro- duct were bearing down at times. Perhaps the quality of their support had something to do with the case, as Several swipes went for hits that ordinarily would have been caught.

BOSTON GOALKEEPER PLAYS FIFTEEN GOALLESS GAMES New York, March 19.--Hal Win- kler of Boston mow has a lead of one over Alex. Connell of Ottawa in the shutout race of N Hockey League goalkeepers. Statis- tics show that Winkler has won eleven goalless games and parti- total for 15 shutouts. Connell, who faced Winkler in the Stanley Cup finals last sea- son, is credited with seven wins and seven ties without a goal be- ing scored against him. Happy Holmes of Detroit, with two goalless victories last week, moved into third place with 12, followed by Lorne Chabot, New York Rangers; George Hainsworth, Canadiens, and Roy Worters, Pitts- bubrg, with 11 shutouts each. Clint Benedict of Montreal is next with six. The promoters of the boxing show at the Armouries I'riday eve- ning, under the auspices of the Ontario Regiment, announce that seven of the ten bouts are now matched, and the complete seven could almost be classed as feature bouts for this show. Bill Stocks of the Regiment, will meet Cumming of Hamilton, at 135 pounds. Both these boys are cieve er and battling boxers, and it should develop into a real fight, The heavyweight bout with King Solomon of the classic A, C., and A. Koski, of St, James A, C. will be a departure from the usual cus tom here. Heavyweight bouts have been hard to obtain, and the mun= agement is fortunate to secure these two first class heavies for Friday's show, : McKenzie gf the Regiment, and Lawrence of St. James will prob- ably provide about the serapplest | battle of the evening, McKenzie always tries to K.

C. Leonard has yet to drop a decision in Oshawa, and Brown's prowess is well known, Brown on past records will he the favorite to win, in all probability, but Leonard Las a habit of over- looking past records, J. Grant of St. James, and Platt of the Classics at 126 pounds; and Stevens, of the Ontario Regiment, and W. Putwain of St. James, at 1856 pounds will also make friends for the Ontario Regiment, judg- ing from the performances of all these battlers in Oshawa and other points. G.

The first ten minutes of the game produced the only tallies of the 445 minutes of gruelling hockey through which the girls fought. Only thirty seconds had been reel- ed off when Bea Goulding, the To- ronto centre ice star, broke through the Ottawa defence and drove a hard shot on the local goaltender. As the disc rebounded Dot Ross skimmed through to flip a high shot into the Rowing Club citadel for the initial tally, Bea Goulding, who appeared easily the best stick- handler and all round hockey gen- eral of either team, netted the other counter from a melee in front of the Ottawa cage.

For two periods the shifty Mont- realers checked the Green Shirts to a standstill and then maintained a stubborn defence through final twenty minutes. The Vics rapped home their two goals in the initial period and Kitchener hurled back the Maroon defensive screen for one goal that was count- ed and another that was not in the third period, With two minutes to g0 in the final dash Molson passed out to Seagram, who had Goaler Cockburn at bis mercy ten feet out The big boy shot and the ralilside fans behind the goal jumped to their feet, crying for the score as The red light did not flash and Referee Marsh allowed the play tw 80 on until he heard the angry shouts of the crowd.

There was ne doubt as to the win- | ner, for Weigand was [ortunate in lasting the short route, as Gains had the Buffalo lad 'n bad shape in the fourth and sixth rounds. Gains weighed 195 to Weigand's 176, In the first round Gaips solved the awkward soathpaw style of Welzand, blocking terrific left haymakers with his elbows and whether or not the rubber had crossed the line. The goal judge replied that it had. However, Rel- eree Marsh was "on" the play and disallowed it claiming hap the puck had struck the post without going into the net. Thus the Vics earned their margin of victory, Aside from Lhe goal scoring the Vies certainly did have a distinct edge on the play for two periods. In the parlance of the ring, the Montrealers took the first two Game Lacked Interest It was a colorless contest. With Kitchener unable to get going un- der the close checking of the Vics' for illegal blocking to prevent a score, if a Green Shirt did break through. Kitchener have shown in their series with Vamsity and South Porcupine that they are will- ing to open the play and provide the color and action a real fan likes, but the Vics went at their work with machine-like delibera- tion that spoke of efficiency and experience at the sacrifice of dash and daring. There were sporadic outbursts of brilliance in the Vics' attacks but they were well spaced. Occa- sionally "Sig" Slater, Abbott or Thompson broke fast and sped in on dangerous sorties. Or again a Vic attacker would display a clever big of stick work, but on the whole they massed their front line de- fence at mid-ice and on the offen- sive sent one man jin with two forwards trailing him to smap up loose pucks or rebounds. A team of opportunists, the Vics. Slater, veteran of the 1924 Olympic team, was the most dan- gerous of the Montreal attackers but his tendency to roam from his wing cost his team one goal and almost created a tie score. At centre, Abbott was tricky and dem- onstrated a high degree of effici- ency at the art of pokechecking and play making. On the right boards, Thompson worked hard and dis- played more ruggedness than his partners. Grant shouldered the burden of the relief play after Louie Valois was forced to retire with a cut over his eye, which he suffered by striking his head on the ice midway fin the first period. Grant was as effective as any of the regulars. Montreal Vies--Goal, Cockburn; defence, Carlin and Shearer; centre, Abbott; wings, Thompson and Bing 8.50 pI. .
