"to be ack, | Wednesday evening the nville Intermediate O. HA, crossed sticks ith | being on ac- unt of he oh weather. The score was 10-6 in favor of Port : ry. In a report of the game the Bowmanville News says in " Bowmanville came on the ice jist and swong and scored the first three { 'hen when Port Perry ound out that they couldn't play a clean game and win they com- to rough it." ik It. sounds very 'reasonable that "we should have to resort to the practice of roughing it in order to 'win on our own ice after trimming 'the Bowmanville team on their ice by a score of 9~1 the previous Mon- day evening. 'What was undoubtedly the fast- est game of hockey witnessed here this season, was played at the rink on Friday 'evening last when the Cannington and local sevens came together in the first of the home _ ond hotite games in'the semi-finals, The ice was in excellent condition and a large and enthusiastic crowd was present. «The Cannington team and their supporters to the number of about one hundred and fifty came down by special train, and to say that they came to win is putting it very mildly, Why they thought they had it cinched and made no bones about it either. Referee Waghorne called play at 8.30 and the final score of 8--4 in favor, of the home team is not much indication of the class of goods delivered: It was hockey of "the best brand from start to finish, For the first féw minutes Cannington had slightly the best of the play. Port Perry however soon got down to business and after about fifteen minutes play they located the visitors' goal, Billy Hall doing the trick. = Can.
