HOCKEY NOTES
Clinton, after holding St. Marys
team to e no -score tie on home ice,
after a thirty-lniunte ever -time play,2
vent down to honourable defeat when
1
they played a return match in the
Stone Town rink -on Monday night.
Tho -scare was 5-5 in favor of St.
Marys. Clinton tease made another
,goat which the ;referee disallowed,
however, as it bulged the wire after
the bell. sounded. Twice the score
was tied and evidently Clinton play-
ed its level best. The St. Mary's
correspondent thps reports the latter
pact of the game:
"Clinton opened the second period
with a' long shot,on St. Marys goal.
Botha Clinton than and a S t. Marys

Stevens combined but lost the puck.
Clinton seemed to be playing on the
defensive and resorted to long shots
Both teams checked hard. Richard-
son went down 'and passed but no
one was there to receive. 73rown and
Stevens combined and peirced the
Clinton defence; Elliott 'mend otit
of his net. Brown passed to Stevens
who deftly dlnded the goalie and
flipped the black disk into the 'Olin -
ton twine -=score 2.1.for St. Marys.
A Clinton lean was poked in the
eye by a stick, and had to be with-
drawn. F. McEwen broke away on
a lone tush and got ;in fairly close
•to,seud the puck past the St, Marys
goalie evening the score. --Little of
Clinton drew i penalty. Brown and
Stevens combined but lost' the putic.'
Aecond after the bell the prick
s 1 k.
came into the St. Marys goal Mouth
bat the • so-called goal was disallowed
_by the referee, • :
Nritlt the score -a tie, the last peri -
ea got iuuler way fast. Clinton tried
a long 'one which was easily handled
by the St. Marys net custodian.
Clinton drew a penalty. St. Marys
went down three abreast arnd a
heavy checking encounter "ensued.
The puck slipped away . and Donnell
pounced -on it sending: it .whizzing
into the Clinton: pet for the tie -
breaking score.
Clinton died .hard. They calve
close to scaring oh two oecastons
when the St. Marys goalie had " to
come out. Alf, Stevens' went right
up to Clinton goal only to have' his
shot blocked, St. • Marys resorted
to two more combinations, but Cline
ton guarded carefully. Time and
again :Stever% and Purnwll were
jynxed. „ With. the period: half :over
