SEATING SATURDAY AFTERNOON sud evening, at Taylor's Arenas, ve b] Whitby Legionnaires made their first appearance of the current sea- son out in Markham last night and came out on the short end of an 8-4 score. The home club were really on in their passing plays but their biggest asset in the game last night was the performance turned in by goalie Harper who played heads up hockey all the way. 'Whitby took an early lead in the initial frame as Bragg took a pass from=Vipgnd and backhanded the disk into {the net behind Harper. This lead 'was short "lived however as Markham came storming back. McCoy was banished for slashing and while he was repenting his sins the hcme club racked up two tallies to take the lead and hold it for the rest of the game, The both goals came off the stick of Geo. Stark a hard working player. Whithy were robbed of several sure goals in: the next few minutes of play as Harper was unbeatable at this point of the game. Marzham added two more quick goals as poor clearing around the Whitby net and not checking their man left one of the Markham players in scoring position. Mark- ham added one more to make it 5-1 with less than a minute of play re- maining. Tod Lintner local boy of last year Jr, C. club missed a sure goal as he was right in"on goalie Harper only to be out guessed.
