Second Period. N 'second stanza opened With goalies being called into action, the start Smith missed a ppportunity to tally by {wide on an open net. Both were back-checking with When a Schenzel-Wells 1 Allore combination failed, Smith grabbed the disc and single-handed out-guess- ed the whole Trenton team to tie up the score. Both goalies were forc- ed to extend themselves after this but Anderson again put his team in the lead with a corner shot which Brooks did not even touch, The third frame opened with King- ston. trailing on the short end of a three-two score. The period was featured by fast clever playing on the part of both teams. Kingston took long chances in an effort to win what proved to he a lost cause and at times Brooks was left all by his lonesome. In the home territory only the clever work of Bowen in goal saved the Trenton team from defeat, There was but one penalty all night, that being to Beliringer of Kingston. The line-ups were as follows: TRENTON. KINGSTON. Goal. Bohan Brooks Defence, Anderson Shoniker Rooney Bellringer Centre, Lawlor Wings.

The Regiment's defence will also be stronger and Bellringer and his followers may have 'a hard time breaking through. The Froa- tenacs offered no excuse for the de- feat they received at the hands of the Live Wires in their last game but they will do their best Wednesday night to convince the fans that they did have an off night. The Live Wires will be as strong as ever and this is enough to convince any team in the City League that they will have to step at their 'best to dethrone them. In Lawlor and Bellringer the Live Wires have two star performers of the senior City League and if they hit the pace as hard as they did in the last encount- er, Holman is going to have a busy session in the nets, Every other player on the Wires' team also classes with the best in the League and help form a real fast hockey machine. Brooks is a tower of strength in the nets and is a big problem to the Regiment. Live Wires have no in- tention of taking things easy or thinking that the game will be a re- petition of the last. They know that they will face a team full of deter- mination and that every minute of the game they will have to step and step their fastest. The injury to Beliringer's nose, which he received in the game with Brockville last riday, was not a ser- fous one and will have no effect on his playing, which means he will be the man to watch. Not only is Bell- ringer a fast skater and a smooth stick-handler, but he is a defence man that is mighty hard to pass. This is not "Bell's" first season play- ing defence and he pairs with Meltz nicely and gets plenty of opportuni- ties to feature with his solo efforts. The fans, although realizing that the last game was a one-sided affair, oY HOCKEY LEAGUE ay Night a 8.00 SPORTING NOTES AND COMMENT It was too bad to lose that game at Trenton last night, but the race 18 not over.yet. While there's life there's hope. The Kingston intermediates have a big job ahead of them if they hope to pull through the group honors, but many local fans still think they have a big chance yet and with a little more work in shooting will be back in the race as strong as the other teams. "Chippy" Rogers was unable to accompany the team to Trenton on Monday and Brooks did a lone job in the nets. The Kingston juniors held a workout at the Arena on Monday even- ing, with Coach W. P. Hughos in charge of the boys. Mr. Gelley, the coach of the team, was unable to be present. The next local hockey attraction is on Friday night at the Arena, when the speedy Toronto Varsity team comes here to meet Queen's. While Varsity is conceded a big chance to win, a big crowd will doubtless turn out to see them dn action. Unless the Kingston intermediates come through in this group, the Arena profits this season will not loom up so well as when the team went through to the finals last year. The fewer games there are, the smaller are the receipts for the Arena. Some people evidently don't seem to be able to get that through their heads yet. That Bob McKelvey will not be able to participate in active sport for some time is keenly regretted by his teammates of the Maroons and other athletic organizations to which young McKelvey belonged. To-day was the last day for the three County Hockey League players to decide their fate for the present season. Two of these, William Hag- gerty and James Neddow, were to decide whether they would play for Sunbury or Battersea in the junior series, while George "Paddy" Patter- son, was to decide whether he would play junior O.H.A. or senior County League. The Kingston juniors have the winning their first game away from jump on the Brockville juniors by home. It is hoped that (he juniors can keep up their good work and come through in the series with the Island City. Next Monday night the Brockville juniors come to Kingston for their second game with the Kignston team, and reports are to the effect that the visitors will be a bit strengthened up for this tilt. The Kingston and Brockville junior teams are very evenly matched and a bumped crowd will doubtless turn out to see this important fixture. Keep the hammers in storaggyfans, the intermediate series is not over yet. The boys attended strictly to their knitting up in Trenton last night and there was but one penalty, Kingston getting that one. to-day is getting better all the time will be rare. The hockey of and if the thing keeps up, penalties The Queen's senior Intercollegiate squad is busy preparing for the Varsity game on Friday night and the players are determined to give the Blue and White a good 'argument at least. Harry Batstone is getting plenty of work to do in the refereeing end of the game and reports from where he has officiated indicate that he is making a bigger hit than ever as an official. nn are expecting a snappy exhibition and i it is likely that there will be a large crowd on hand 'to see them battle it out for the honors of the first half of the League. There being only one game, it will start at eight o'clock. "Joe" Smith will handle the bell. AMERICAN REQUESTS ARE STILL HELD UP Not Yet Decided If Big Ameri= can Oities Can Enter National Hockey League Series. Montreal, Jan. 12.--Following a special meeting of the National Hoe- key League executive here President Frank Calder announced that the ap- plications for franchise from New York, Jersey City, Detroit and Chi- cago had been held over for further consideration. The player limit clause was left as at present; each club being allowed twelve players under contract and two on the reserve list. Play-off arrangements were clari- fled. Three teams will enter the rank to combat for the title and the right to compete for the Stanley Cup. The first 'team will draw a bye, and the d and third teams will play a home-and-home series, total goals to count, for the right to meet the leader In the final championship games. In event of a tie for place committing fouls and are ule pro- perly penalized. Amateur players who body check | each other on face-offs are subject to a penalty. They are supposed to play the puck; not the man. A player checking another who has the puck has the right to bear down on his opponent's stick with his stick or to lift it off the ice so that he can- not-play the puck, but he must not touch his opponent's stick with his hands. There is a penalty for teams which exceed the time limit between per- ods. The only difference between a bodycheck and a charge is speed and intent. Players who charge or body check the goalkeeper in his nets deliberate- ly or who even crash into him acei- dently, commit fouls, are subject to penalty. A cross-check does not necessarily have to be face high to draw a pen- alty. A cross-check acrosg the arms does not look harm®«1, but it does a lot of damage sometimes, A player who holds the puck against the footboads with his feet or stick may be penalized.
