For Kingston no one man, apart from Captain = Joe Smith, can be picked out as a star for all played well. He played one of the best games of his career and when he was unable to stay on the ice after being injured in the third period, he was given a great ovation by the Belleville crowd. Joe never work- ed as hard before as he did last night and he marked his fourteenth appearance in the Belleville rink with one of the best games that he has been seen to play. "Wheeler" Gibson turned in a hard game also and his 'work om the forward line created a very favorable impression on the Belleville 'fans. The fair- haired boy seemed never to grow tired and he was right on the trail of the Belleville puck-carriers all the time. Lawlor played remark- ably well and fitted in admirably with Smith and Gibson while Mur- ray and Devlin 'did all that was ask- ed of them on the forward line. On the defence works, Rooney and Watts blocked many a Belleville rush and sent the puck-carrier to the corner time after time and thelr rushing was also good. Jimmy Rogers, the good goaler of the in- termediates played a fine game and those shots that did beat him, with the exception of one, were difficult to handle, Rogers, not being used to the rather dim lighting as one findsg in the Belleville rink, found his work a little harder and was not able to locate the position of the puck as easily as on the local arena but despite this fact he made many great saves and is to be congratulat- ed upon his excellent work. a -- Belleville Defence Strong. Green and FinRle were the shin- ing lights of the Belleville team and their defensive tactics were largely responsible for the good showing of the Belleville team, Their rush- ing was a treat and they blocked Kingston rushes . time and . time again with great success. Nurse in goal, had little to do in the first period but in the next two, he made 'some great saves, although he re- lied a great deal on his defence men to take care of the shots... "Weary" Weir was a hard worker on the wing and proved to be' a valuable man and fitted in well with hig partner "Daw" Whalen, the one and only "Daw." Hagerman played a strong game but was allowed to get away with inter- ference all night 'without any check deing put on him and he offset his good work by his tactics of inter- ference, which were not called by the official in charge. "Bunny" Frechette worked in his old time form ever so often during the game while Armstrong proved to 'be a handy man to have around. First Period. When play was called by Referee Harold Mitchell, of Toronto, there | was a large crowd of spectators on hand for the game. Theice was fn very poor condition for hockey and the Kingston players found the go- {ng much more difficult than their opponents. Ki would have got better results had they pushed the puck ahead of them, instead of trying to play as they do here, and combination was out of the question. It was difficult for the players to get the puck to lle down on the ice and the locals missed some good chances to advance inte the enemy territory as a result of the rolling of the puck. Belleville were doubtless the super- for team in this period and had the "Combines" bottled up several times although the latter made heroic ef- Play was fast and furious for the first ten minutes before the first goal was landed, Frechette bulging the twine in ten minutes flat. It was the opposing line. | THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG | @ENERAL CHINOOK IS CALLED BEST LEAD DOG IN COUNTRY Some dog, also some man, T. Walden of Wonalancet, N.H., and his dog, Chinook.

Rooney broke' aor. several times on som. beautiful rushes and drew the admiration of the Belleville crowd for his fine work but he too met with little success when it came to scoring goals, Finkle grabbed up the puck three minutes ' after the period 'had started and made it 5-0 for Belleville and with that score against them, the locals were deter- mined to have something to say about the game and from then on they shut the Bell e gharp-shoot- ers out of the scoring column alto- gether, The play continued fast in the second period and Smith, Rooney, Watts and Lawlor came within an ace of scoring several times. Rogers did some great work on the defefifive and" looked after that part wéll. ~For seventeen min- utes the teams battled it out without a tally being raised and the period closed with Kingston much fresher than their opponents, who were be- ginning to weaken under the pace. ------ Third Period. 'Play broke about even for the first |" three minutes of the last period but Kingston gradually worked into the upper hand and soon had the Belle- ville team with a scare thrown into them. Belleville were shooting the puck the length of the ice in an attempt to keep the visitors away from thelr territory but they did not keep this practice up very long and played hockey. The superior condi tion of the locals put them in good stead and they forced the play on Belleville, gradually driving them back on the defensive. Lawlor got OUT OUR WAY Iz 17 ITI] He insists if Chinook is at his best the rdce is already in his best work in this period and showed remarkable stick-handling. Kingston lost chances galore to score and were certainly not blessed with any too much luck. Lawlor missed a wondérful chance with only the -goal-tender to beat and right after that Devlin failed by half an inch to ring up a tally. The King- ston team worked like demons and after five minutes of play, Lawlor sent the puck to Watts and the lat- ter rung up Kingston's first and only tally. Joe Smith was hurt when struck on the temple by a stick but after a few minutes delay was able to con- tinue. Rooh®y "aiid Gibson featured with their 'tushes and gained coa- siderable headway and gave Nurse a busy session but it was all to no avail. Weir and Finkle did the bulk of the work for the Belleville team in the last period while Green show- ed flashes hut neither team was able to again ring up any cotinlers and the game ended with Kingston trail- ing at the end of a 6-1 score.

His favorite costume for the game is a light gray cap,' pongee coat, gray trousers and heavy tan shoes. If rain threatens he puts on rubbers, but discards them as play progres- ses. He usually wears dark sun glasses. On the links Rockefeller is very jovial, keeping up a conversation with the caddies and other mem- bers of his foursome. He does many of the holes in par and totals under 50 strokes for the eight holes, yet he is not intent on making scores so much as in mak- ing good shots. If a shot does not go true he usually asks his caddy to tee up another ball and if the following shot proves good expresses lively satisfaction. --- AFTER DON BROPHY. Pittsb¥irgh, Jan. 6.--Not in years has a youngster made such a favor- able impression here as young Bro- phy, the wiig man who appeared with Queen's University team against the Yale puckchasers at Du. quesne Garden, Friday and Satur The familiar figure of John D. {| i Rockefeller once again moves J across the golf links at" Ormond Hi Beach, Florida, a figure somewhat bent and infirm at 85, but whjch moves with steady step. Each day Rockefeller plays eight [Hf day nights. - His play was an oute standing feature of the two clashes, In face, he made such a fine show. ing that during the fatermission be- tween the first and second periods he was approached by the manager of the Fort Pitt team, the local entry in the eastern section of the United States Hockey Association, and offer. ed a plate on the team. He thrilled the crowd with his dashes up the jee, and his ability to get through the defense. Not alone was he as fast as lightning, but he demonstrated that he is a hard and accurate shot. It is understood that Brophy de- murred at giving up his college course, but it is thought that ar. rangements could be made, if he de. cides to come here, to have him ens ter the University of Pittsburg. The Fort Pitt team is made up ex-, clusively ot Canadian players, and Brophy's acquisition would bolster up the gffensive strength. It is be- lieved at on' a strong team he would show to even better advante age than he did with Queen's.
