CLINTON LOSES TO LONDON Clinton hockey team went down be fore the Seventh Regiment,. London, on Friday night, in a score Of 7 to 4. The tine up was ,aJohfisone goal Dey ment, point ; McRae, coyer; Foreester rover; Sheppard. center ; Moore, left Wine 1 Doherty, right wing. . The Free Press says: e "It WAS easily the 'beet game seen on local ice this sen - son to judge it from a true- hockey standard: No attempt at ichighiaess was ,aPriarent on the part of either team, each being content to measure skill witle the other, as , skaters and 'stick handlers. The speed was conse- quently ' terrific throughout. Clinton at the outset set a fast pace, which, they were unable to maintain, , andi clueing the second loaf were Worn out They !stuck to their work, however, and at Ones kept the loose defense bus". The Clinton forward line is ex- tremely • fast and shows considerable combination, They have been severe- ly handicapped because of the lack Of ..ice and the consequent loss of practice, but, despite this fact, they are evert now capable of serious trouble to any steam. , Sheppard at centre played a 'stargame, showing up, perhaps; the best of any men on the ice. Clinton has an excellent goal -keeper in John- ston. His stops last night were some- times almost impossible? The visitors gave the Seventh -supporters quite a scare at the outset. After Clinton had kept the play pretty into Clinton terri-' tory for about five minutes, Sheppard atatted-matheeiee-with-theepuelea-ared after a pretty • piece of combination' play. Doherty scored.. Sheppard; re- peated the trick unassisted; exactly one minute later. The Advertiser •-says:-The team is a good one, and should improve. They are heavier than London and check harder. The forwards are, all fast skaters, and very pretty stick handlers. The star of the forwards is young Sheppard. He's geed. Veery small in size, he.,handles a stick Per. fectly, shoots herd and fast from any angle, aud is hard to step. He made some beautiful rushes last night, and he was responsible for the major por- tion of the scoring. He looked to be the best forward on the ice. Doherty, at right wing, is a geed man and plays well. Forrester, at rover, is strong, and shoots well. The Clinton defense is it good. oneebig and strong. Johnston in goal, is all to the good,and his stops were splendid. ' . °rewrote 10, HENSALL 2. Ira a rather one sided game, on ice such as pbe soft weather would euggest. • Clinton easily defeated Hensall, -Tues. day, to the tune of 10 to 2; The frame WAS entirely void of roughaess, no pen; alties being necessary. The Hensall team lacks fast skaters, but they are not cowards. .A little more 'ambition on the part of the • local seven, doubt- less Would have added to the score. - Mr. MoIvor, of Goderich, refereed the game.
