------------x a "THURS., FEBRUARY 27th, 1930 THE HAIL EYBURIAN Page 5 Troquois Falls Juniors Gain a Five-Goal Lead Defeat Cobalt Miners 6-1 in First of Play-Off Games; Fight Mars the Closing Minutes Cobalt Juniors are much per- turbed over the first of the home and home games played to decide which team will meet the Soo 'Greyhounds for the N.O.H.A. kid] title. They went to Iroquois Falls to play on Tuesday evening, and were forced to accept a man as referee who played for the Falls Senior team, and who, in former years, was coach of the Cub Es- kimos. The Falls scored a goal in the first canto, and the Cobalt boys 'evened it up early in the second frame. Then, they state, Cobalt players were fenced without just 'case, during the rest of the battle and the Miners were playing 'shorthanded. for practically the whole of remaining two periods. Cobalt's version of the start- of the first fight in the third per- iod is that Foyle, skating back- ward, hit the referee, and the of- ficial swung at him. Roy Bennett then gave Fahey a push and the arbiter fell. Both Foyle and Roy Bennett were penalized. A news despatch to The Nug- get, written by a Cobalt man, does not bear out the Cobalt lads' contention. It states that Fahey handled a_ strict, but straight, game, and all penalties inflicted were deserved. The report also states that the Cobalters tried to stop the game on account of the illness of a player in the sub. box, and when Fahey would not stop, one of the players tried to pick up the puck. This player was penalized, and Foyle and R. Bennett started after Fahey, hit- ting him. They both were penal- ized, but no goals resulted after the fracas. According to what can be gath- ered, Charlie Roach of Timmins, - was supposed to handle the game, but missed his train, and Percy Fahey was put in to handle the fracas. The score of 6-1 does not real- ly represent the merits of the two teams, and Cobalt boys are de- termined to show that they area : amuch better team than that.

In connection with Mr. Find- lay's annual event, there will be ski races and snowshoe races for school children and probably a treasure hunt around the town. Haileybury boys who have sleigh dogs should not overlook the big race, which in past years has proved a great success. was the statement of one old timer to The Haileyburian on Tuesday. all the -snow ther again this season.

The team from that town wrote asking for a game, and the local club ac- cepted, and are just waiting con- firmation. They will likely go by way of Ville Marie, and will travel across the lake by bus and down the C.P.R. branch to the foot of the lake.. The team at Temiskaming contains players over Junior age limit, but they claim to be of good Junior O.H.A. On Wednesday last, the thaw commenced and, in spite of the predictions that three days would be the limit, it continued over the week-end, with the result that this week saw more than half of the snow gone, streams begin- ning to open up and a general ap- pearance of spring. there were steady streams of water flowing down the hill to the lake, lawns began to show up For «days calibre, so a smart game should history of the North Country,|result.

One resident reported pansies in bud in his garden and it was stat- ed that a number of wild geese had been seen in an open space in the Montreal river. However, there came a change on Monday night with about 22 degrees of frost and winter is again with us. Skating, curling and other winter sports, which had been suspended during the mild spell, were resumed and _ it appears that the cold weather may last for some weeks yet. The break was a pleasant one, as a relief from the steady cold which has prevailed throughout the winter, and it is unlikely that there will be very severe cold to follow. WARNING!
