Alex Welch, Secretary of the

at Peterborough by Judge D. B. Cole
man on a charge he obstructed police

Na-
Purchased House
Mr. F. W. Spry,, of the Western
Foundry, has purchased-what was
formerly the Swartz'property, on the
Diagonal Road. We understand that
Mr. Spry will do extensive repairs
modernizing the property.
After causing, the management’s
hopes to rise considerably by turning
in a creditable game at Clinton last
week, the local juniors fell back to
their old ways and absorbed a 5-0
beating at Kincardine Monday night.
Granting that the Lakeside kids were
a better club, much better, on the
night’s play, yet the Maitlands could
have made a much better showing and
possibly have defeated them if they
had shown any semblance of playing
hockey as it should! be played. Tae
Maits made passes when they should
not have and still more times failed
to pass at the right time and were so
slow in breaking out of their own
zone that a one-legged man on sk'is
could have caught them before they
had gone ten feet.
Darrel Biggs, Carter and Murray
were the best workers for the Mait
lands while Al. Small did a god job
as Utility player. The test of the club
fell down badly, except the goal-tend
er, Lepard, who had his hands full
and then some. O’Brien in the op
posite net played a steady game as
did McSween, Barrager and C. Wil
son,
Tile home lads scored a pair in the
first period, both as a result of
scrambles and both shot by uncov
ered! players. Play livened up consid
erably' in the second period and it
wasn’t longe before one of those pile
ups the kids indulge in broke out. As
a result Bateson and Hall drew maj
ors and were followed almost immed
iately by McSween for hooking; giv
ing the Maitlands a four-to-three ad
vantage in man power. Just when the
kids were threatening a bit, Baker
nullified this advantage by getting a
very foolish penalty. McSween came
back and almost immediately Buck
ingham made it 8-0 for Kincardine,
C, Wilson ran it up to four near the
end of the period on a nice shot from.
