It was a splendid opportunity for "the Kingston fans to size up their . éntatives and see what ma- terial there is to represent Kingston in the intermediate series this sea- Som, as the team stands, and it was generally conceded that the locals 'meed much more defensive strength than they have at the present time if they hopé to come through and win the championship of this section of No. 1 group.

He stopped them from all angles, got in the way of many shots that were labelled for goals and in general made himself the bulwork of the Brockville team. Time after time Lawlor, Bellringer and Smith combined prettily, only to be turned back to try again. The Kingston forwards were not to be denied, however, and when their attacks were broken up, they back-checked the puck-carrier and repeatedly turned the tide in the op-| posite direcfion. This was particu- larly noticeable in Lawlor's play. He got back fast after he had been checked and some of his best work was in his back-checks which were sore touches to the visitors. Higgins, "In Dutch." Higgins, the Brodkville wing star, as far as hockey went, was outstand- | ing but unfortunately he marred his! play by unnecessary apparent rough | tactics. Higgins did not control himself and made several trips to the bench. In justice to this player, | however, he was not wholly respon- sible for the accident to Bellringer. It was Higgins' 'stick that broke Bellringer's nose all right but the visiting player certainly did not strike Bellringer intentionally. He received a two minute penalty though Just why he did is something of a mystery. Either he should have received a five-minute penalty or none at all. If it was an acci- dent and could not be avoided, then Higgins was not due for any penalty at all but if. the official in charge ruled it as intentional or deserving of a penalty, then the penalty should have been much longer than two minutes., If the two minute penalty was given just to satisfy the crowd, who at the time thought it was in- tentional, the penalty was unjust for the crowd does not enter into the matter at all---at least should not. Bellringer and Higgins kept up a continual fire all night and there was something doing every minute! The fans were death on the Brockville veteran and yelled for his scalp and booed and hissed him very strongly. While Higgins certainly did have the appearance of looking for trouble, the referee was there to handle mat- ter and it was not up to people be- hind the penalty box to go after the player the way they did. The first period was not produc- tive of the best hockey for the reason that the players were perhaps a lit- tle high strung at the start and could not get their bearings but they gave indications of settling down to- wards the end of the period and they then began to play a bettér brand of the game, Kingstén hit into hard luck right off the bat and raced in on Murray repeatedly but they were unable to get anything past him for about ten minutes. The locals then sent a whizzer past him but it was called back for being offside. sisbinion Brockville Score First. J Brockville were the first to scare, the first tally coming as a result of weak defensive work by the local team. Garand glided down the ice passing the Kingston players by a series of short pokes, right through the defence and then he beat Rogers to the far corner of the net: The Kingston team settled in a little harder and forced the Brockville team back into their own blue line whers they held them and refused to let them out. The attacks were without fifiish on either side; how- rushes from end to end.

Higgins got two minutes. He was accorded a | noisy reception by the fans and was booed and hissed without reserve. Behind the penalty box were some fans who caused a little excitement by passing their remarks to the pen- alized player and it required the in- terference of the referes and the Kingston coach to restore order. Saundecook registered the next Brockville goal on a pretty rush to the defence but there he was forced to the corner. In the mixup there, Saundercook took a chance shot out to the front of the Kingston net. There wasn't a Brockville player there but the puck struck Lough's skate and glided into the net. Brock- ville 3, Kingston 2 Two on the Bench. Rooney was benched . when he body-checked an attacker behind his own forty foot line. The body- check was given with the hip by Rooney while standing almost still but he was ruled off. Joe Smith later joined Rooney on the sidelines. With two star players off, the lot of the local crew was harder and Brock- ville forged ahead in their attacks and kept the remainder of the King- ston team on a wild tear but there was no damage done befors Rooney returned to the game. Christopher and Frego combined on a pretty plece of work the latter sending through the last Brockville goal of the-second period. Eddie Watts startled the fans by a neat rush from his own defence fo Brockville defence where he shot. The puck was between Murray's pads and Watts went in and shoved the rubber into the net but the goal was disallowed and the puck faced off at the goal mouth. Murray again in- terferred and again the puck was faced off in the goal mouth but Brockville were able to get the rub- ber out of the danger zone before anything dangerous happened. Rd Some Real Fast Work, The last period was where thg 6x- citement name in. The Kingston crew were right in fine fettle and from the very first carried the at- tack to the Bockville end of the rink. They combined prettily and the individual work of Rooney, Smith, Beliringer and Lawlor was also outstanding. The crowd was thrown into high excitement and there was every indication that the visitors would yet be beaten out. Play hovered around the Brockville end of the rink and the local for- wards back-checked like flends and had the Brockville team somewhat disorganized.

The de- feat of the locals was due largely to the work of Taugher in the King- ston goal who gave the most finish ed performance imaginable and stop- ped six shots directed at him to one that came McMahon's way in the Brockville goal. The local line outplayed Kingston throughout the greater part of the game but were unlucky in their shooting at the start, while King- ston flopped 0 goals in the first period off the pads of the local goalie who played against Lady Luck. Mae Pherson got the first goal for King- ston twelve minutes after the start when the puck dropped in off the minutes later, Reid broke through the Brockviile defence for the visi« tors second counter, the score com- ing just before the period ended. Kingston used their subs. to the best advantage in the second period and Brockville gkated uselessly for A SA a tA ANON nt chances for goals were lost either on weak shots or misplaced passes. The locals wére rewarded with a goal for their hard work on one of the best plays of the night, Smith secured the puck from Lawlor, whe did some good work to get it over to Smith and the latter sent a long pass over to Beliringer who was camped in front of the open net. The Brock- ville goalie was taken completely by surprise. It was the neatest goal scored in the whole game and was well deserved. With the score 4-3 against them, the Kingston players worked their hardest and put fear into the hearts ut the "Safety First" sign 'and sent the puck down the ice in {he hope of keeping the invaders at bay but they missed out on their judgment and were bombarded with attacks that came fast and often and were get- ting too dangerous to be comfort- able. Saundercook uncorked a sensa- tional rush and carried the rubber from his own defence, down past the Kingstdn forwards and -on through the defence to slip the puck by Rog- ers after a short hesitation, The Kingston players were grouped in front of Rogers when Saundercook shot and the Kingston goalie had little chance to save. The Kingston team kept up the attack but it was SPORTING NOTES AND COMMENT Last night's turnout was a big one for the opening game. The fans were greatly interested to see what Kingston had to offer for the inter- mediate series and had their first chance to look the boys over. Referee Herb Mathews of Toronto did not make any too big a hit with the local crowd. Many of them too much offside work on both sides and did not check up the rough! play closely enough. The victory of the Kingston Juniors at Brockville last night was welcome news after the defeat here. a merry old piace to trim the speedy Brockville team right in their own rink.

No fan has sny privilege to abuse players, no matter what the offence is. = The referee 18 there to handle that part of the act. bit x = The work of "Chumiay" Lawlor was particularly outstanding on the local team last night. He worked better than he has shown thus far and bids fair to have a big season. The British Whig answensd many inquiries about the score of the| same at Brockville last night. In passing it tight be mentioned that the| majority of those who called up for the score were women. Evidently there is no love lost between the junior and intermediate factions down in Brockville. There is certainly no harmony between the the first ten mfputés. Then Kennedy broke away on a solo flight which gave Brockville their first goal and the fans a chance to root their heads off. MacPherson landed another off his own rebound and the period ended. with Kingston still two goals up. Brockville carried the attack time and time again to they Kingston defence only to have Taugher turn the puck aside until in the last half minute of play when Kennedy scor- ed the last goal for Brockville.
