Beresford scored Gananoque's goal in the first period, after beating the Napanee defence by faking a pass. For nearly the entire second period Napanee had four or five men on the firing line and they hemmed Ganano- que in their own blue line, only to miss the net or be robbed of goals by |: the wonderful work of Wiley in the nets for the winners.

Neat combination work on the part of both fast individual efforts were prévalent and the Regiment won out only after a very stiff bat- tle. The winners were without a doubt superiors with Brown and Le- gon on their team and although the Live Wires played very nice hockey, they could not cope with the breezy rushes of Brown or the steady and effective back-checking and work of Legon. Brown opened up before the game had hardly got under way and from then on rushed through the whole Live Wire team persistently. Merrill, Lanos and Legon composed a neat forward line for the winners and they worked very nicely together. In the first = period Lanos slipped through the Live Wires' defence and registered the first tally of the game but before the session ended Holman was called on many" timfs to make hard saves to keep ithe Live Wires from evening it up. After about five minutes of play in the second period, Hudgins hung up the second counter on a' pass from. Purdy, but this did not tend to make the Regi- ment play defensively, by any means. The, Live Wires brightened up how- ever and had the better of the argu- ment for the great part of the re- maining time. After repeated ex- cursions down the ice, Melts finally slipped the rubber by Holman for the Live Wires' first and only goal, al- though they worked very hard after this, only to be turned by by Hol- man.

Verona's Stiff Battle, i The semi-final game between the | Frontenac Regiment and Verona was | an impressive example of what over | confidence on the part of one team | and great determination on the] other, can do in a game of hockey | The Regiment stepped out on the | ice, maturally _ considering that it | would be an easy victory, as conced- | ed by the crowd. Verona, realizing] { that they were facing a superior and smoother team, determined that | they would give all they had in an | effort to make it a game and they | did, the score standing two all after | eighteen minutes of overtime had | been played. : There was no scoring in the first period, the consistent and heavy checking of the Verona team holding | the hard efforts of the Frontenac Regiment at- bay. In the second period. Manson broke away and after sliding through the whole Regiment team, whizzed the disc by Holman for 'the first counter. The crowd] went wild with excitement when the | team which was not conceded even a chance of putting up stiff opposi- tion forged into the lead. The score seemed id give the Verona team more life and they checked like demons to hold the fast moving Frontenac Regiment in check, Despite this Brown, Legon and practically every other player on the team was able to break through, but shots were turned aside like bogus checks by Revelle, in the nets for Verona. The Frontenac Regiment fully realiz- ing that defeat was staring them in the face redoubled their efforts and with two minutes to go, Legon tore down the ice and even matters up. Verona still continued at their wild pace In the first twelve min- utes of overtime and were not by any means playing defensively. Both goal tenders were given plenty of shots to handle but each kept a élear sheet for the first two periods of ex- tra time. - In the first half of the third period, Purdy ripped the Ver- ona defence and tallied the goal that | put the Regiment in the lead. Trues- dale, who had been giving a wonder- ful exhibition of stick work, again tied the count when he repeated Purdy's performance. / For the re- mainder of the playing time the teams waged a mighty battle but neither could break the deadlock. It was necessary for the Verona team to call matters off, having to return on the train to Verona, and the dis- pute remained unsettled. J Regiment Wins Final. Gananoque and the Frontenac Regiment met in the final game, Gan- anoque having won the toss for the bye, and the Regiment trounced the Wanderers by 'a score of 5-1. Gan- anoque started out at « terrific pace stick handling that sifted' him through the whole Regiment team, 4 ~~ .| Holman was always a G { such competition, Tom SPORTING NOTES-AND COMMENT It is very unlikely that there will be any senior City Hockey. League next season, unjess some clubs band themselves together and form their own league and find a rink for themselves.. For years past there has been nothing but trouble in semior City League hockey and anybody who has ever tried to run the thing right has been criticized so much that he Nnally became disgusted and threw up the sponge altogether. This year is no exception. It is very doubtful if the present head of the League. President Charles Hicks, will ever be connected with the City League again. While Mr. Hicks has done great work this winter and has brought the League into & good standing, especially in the first of | the season, criticism that is unjust has been levelled at him from a certain | quarter, and he is of the opinion, like many more, that there is no use trying to do anything further and the best thing to do is to let somebody else take a hand or let things slide altogether. 'The writer knows full well the time and attention that Mr. Hicks has given to the League and the trouble that he has gone'to in order to make the League a success. He may have made .mistakes, but it can be guaranteed that his actions were for the best interests of the League as a whole. It is too bad that a senior City League of fast teams could not be run in Kingston, but evidently there is no call for such. The crowds that attended in the first of the season went for the junior games to a very large extent. Senior City League hockey, in the first place, is not very popular, and, secondly, there has not.been harmony enough to give anybody the energy to try to carry it on more than once. A good strong junior League next year, with double-headers, would be far more attractive than having senior City League hockey. By doing that juniors would be developed for the Kingston teams to represent Kingston agalast other cities and something would be 'accomplished. The senior section is pot developing players for Next Wednesday night the big Kiwanis Carnival will be held, and, judging from the number who intend to take part and also to attend and see the performance, there will be a mighty big crowd gut. Not in many a long day in Kingston has there been such a demon- stration against a local team when playing an outside team as there was against Frontenac Regiment last night in the hockey tournament, when a team representing that unit played against Verona. The major portion of the spectators by a long way yelled their hardest In support of the Verona team and gave them their unstinted support. There were two reasons for this. dog" against such a team, and the other reason was that the fans felt that the Frontenac Regiment did a rather unfair thing when they "loaded up" for this tournament with Brown and Legon. There are differences of opinion on the matter, but the fact remains that the fans were quite incensed last night at the Frontenac Regiment and there were very few pulling for a win for the city team. Basketball fans will have their. fill of the real thing to-night, when Queen's, Intercollegiate champions, meet Ottawa Rideaus, Dominion champions. * Those-intending to see the games to-pight are advised to be on hand early, for there will be.a big crowd out for this basketball pro- gramme. iit . wonderful record of the visitors, They have made a pretty clean sweep of the Intercollegiate series this sea- son 'and the players on the team are clever and fast and should be able each.

The pace was beginning to tell on' the Gananoque boys and though they still continued to carry the play into, the opposition's territory often, they could not continue their stiff back checking.
