GOING STRONG ¥B" Battery Defeated No. 3 » Heavy Battery Thursday Afternoon at Arena, 4-1. "B"" Battery defeated No. 3 Heavy Battery by a score of 4-1 in an R.C. H.A. Inter-company fixture at the Arena Thursday afternoon. The game was much faster than the first one and the teams showed much more pep and finish. "B" Battery presented a strong team composed of most of their senior City League players but despite this the "Hea- vies' put up a strong fight and kept their opponents on the go all the time. But for the brilliant work of Le- sage in the nets for the No. 3 Heavy Battery, the score would have been very much larger. He turned in a very flue performance and rushed out time after time to spoil what looked to be sure goals. His oppon- ent id the nets, Cairns of Senior City Ledgue fame, was also very good and was about the biggest obstacle the "Heavies" faced. The shot that did get by him was a hot one and he had little or no chance to pick it off. Pugh, Haines and Southall also "worked well for the winners and had _R big advantage in skating. There Was very féWw players on the 3rd Battery team that could skate with |: 'this trio but heavy checking held them well and they broke away very few times, N.

In the first period both teams started off at a fast pace but as time 'went on it slowed up and the strain fold on them. "B" Battery worked Lesage unmercifully but he rose to all occasions and stopped everything In sight till Southall broke away and slipped one by him that he had little 'chance to save.

The "Heavies" certainly held their more experienced ,.gpponents well for the first two periods but in the last they were, due for a fall After only a few minutes of play, a SPORTING Pugh streaked down the ice and on a pretty plece of individual work made the score 2-0 for "B' Battery, Southall following his example a few minutes later and making it three.

Before the game ended, Pugh had notched an- other for "B" battery, making ihe final score 4-1 in their favor. More fast material was discover- ed in this game and the League is proving even more successful than was expected. There is much friend- ly rivalry among the teams and their supporters and the interest In the games is great.

Montreal, Jan. 115.--Suspension of the senior group of the Quebec Amateur Hockey Association by the provincial governing bofly did not interfere with a game last fight be- tween . the Nationals and Ottawa Canadiens. The situation is regard- ed as a temporary muddle, which will shortly be straightened out. The majority of the clubs express ignorance of the matter, having re- ceived ' mo official communication from the C.A.-H.A. on the suspen- sion for alleged contravention of the constitution and by-laws of the gov- erning body particularly referring to the payment of dues. The Victorias received notification of suspension, but have asked for more definite in- formation. The Vices claim they have satisfied every obligation. The senior group as a unit and the Nationals as a team admit not hav- ing paid up their dues to the C.A.H, A. They state they will not do so until a ruling is obtained on the cases of Gervais and Sauve, National players, who have not been granted playing cards by the Quebec branch of the Amateur Athletic Union of Canada.

The student rooters and the Queen's band will be on deck in full force and the game promises to take on all the frills and thrills of a big In- tercollegiate event. The Varsity team arrived in the city to-day all set for the struggle ahead of them and expressed con- fidence in their ability to come through.

He said that the Spaniard is a man to be reckoned with in heavyweight title matters, a contender who boasts a terrific left hook, an admirable right and tremendous strength. "Paolino is the greatest heavy- weight in the game to-day," sald Carpentier. "He is ready to tackle Gene Tunney or Harry Wills and he is of the type to give even Jack Dempsey a hard fight. He weighs 200 pounds and has been a sensa- tion in European boxing circles. He will impress Americans, too, when they see him fn action. I think Dempsey will knock out Wills if they ever meet, but Dempsey must fear our Paolino, "won't engage in a fight myself unless the money consideration is satisfactory," said Carpentie¥. "I have been offered a match in Cali- fornia against Jimmy Delaney, but I doubt if I will accept fit. like to meet Berlenbach, because I feel sure I could hit him with my right and that would be enough. I would not want to fight Jack De- laney. His right is too dangerous and he Is too strong." QUEEN'S BASKETBALL TEAM PLAYS OTTAWA Will Meet the Champion Ri- deaus at the Capital on Saturday.

Robert A. Gardner, of Chi- cago, again has been chosen to cap- tain the United States players. Otlier members of the téam will be Francis Ouimet, of Boston; George von Elm, of Los Angeles; Jesse P. Guilford, of Boston; Jess W. Sweetser, of New York, and Roland MacKenzie, of Washington, D.C. In the event of withdrawals, sub- stitutions will be made from the fol- lowing five alternates: Max R. Mar- ston and D. Clark Corkran, of Phila- delphia; George Rotan, of Houston, Texas; H. Chandler Egan, of Med- ford, Ore. and Harrison R. John- ston, of St. Paul, THE REFEREE'S OPINION, Lou Marsh says: A lot of hockey players and fans have the idea that a referee must in- flict his penalties immediately he calls a personal foul. They are "all damp," 'It is the referee's privi- lege to send the offender to the bench and then ascertain the extent of the damage to the injured player before he makes his final decision. A player who fouls another is re- * | sponsible for the damage he inflicts and should be punished in prepor- tion. For instance, a player who uses the butt end ordinarily gets a five-minute 'penalty, but If the re. feree discovers, on examination, that the injured player has a couple of ribs broken it is quite a different proposition, and a referee would be very foolish if he did mot put the offending player off for the rest of the game and either fine him or re- port him. A referee, too, has the option of changing his decision if he is con- vinced in his own mind that he is wrong, but that is something which is seldom done. I recall one instance when I benched a player for five minutes for what looked to me like a deliberate attempt to cross-check an opponent, but when the player show- ed me that his skate had been torn from toe of his boot and told me had tripped and fallen head-long into his man I was convinced that 1 had made a mistake and revoked the sentence. Incidents occasionally do occur like that ome; but they are isolated, The evidence should be absolutely convincing = before any change is made. A decision revers- ed creates a bad impression among the fans, who can only judge what has happened by what they can see. Hughes Still Plays. Cobalt, Jan. 15.--The controversy which has been raging between Co- balt and New Liskeard junior teams of the N.O.H.A. over the status of "Rusty" Hughes took another turn when the sorrel-topped player turn- ed out with the latter team and helped them to beat Cobalt here by 3 Pan | House Wiring th 6 goals to 1. Cobalt has en to the governing body and all i that Hughes had no playing certi- ficate, and, therefore, was ineligible. Referee Charles Eplett, of New Lis- keard, over-ruled the locals' contens' tion, and Cobalt played under pro- test, being largely because of weak- ness in front of the nets. ami and Repairing | All Kinds of Electric Apparatus Satisfaction guaranteed.
