'TOWN LEAGUE FINALS., The Maroons took thechampion-' ship 'in a haul -fought gameon soft ice on Monday evening. At eight o'clock on Monday evening started one of the most thrilling town league games of this season between the Maroons and the Senators. The weight of the Maroons told through- out 'because the heavier team had the. adyantage of the soft• ice. 'In the first ' period the Maroons opened the genie by scoring after five minutes of play. Draper, of, the Senators: scored on a lore rush and tied it up one minute later'. Tiae play went on .very fast each team doing its best,' then the Maroons scored again. Draper again made -an -outstanding rush and scored, tying it up again. The Maroons, playing good hockey Succeeded in getting two more goals before this period was up and it; ended 4-2' in their favor, Second period started off very fast. Pearson in the nets for the Maroons, made some wonderful saves, where at. times it looked ' impossible. Jack Elliott at centre made the Senators feel discouraged . as he made use of his wonderful poke check and broke up all combination and single 'efforts,. This periodended with neither side scoring and it still remained 4-2 for Maroons. Third 'period' started off very fast, Glazier -a for the Maroons, scoring on a very good play by talc ing the rebound off Lawson's pads, when he was slow in clearing. Drap- er, the rap-er,the tricky left winger of the Sena- tors, soon scored in a scramble and this put a new spirit into his team,' They came on -very strong but Frank Dixon and Ronald McDonald were very efficient and with their heavy, body checking kept clown further, scoring. Lorne Cook, Grealis and Draper were the outstanding players for Senators, while the whole Ma- roon team played Stellar hockey. The score ended 5 to 3 for the Maroons, who will hold time cup till next ,year.'

'George Wallace lived just east, of them at that time.Few of the families which Mr. Shobbrook redrew in his ' youth are represented now in the locality. There' were the Long'nians, which still has: a repre- sentative, the Stirlina•s, Ilewsons, Coles and Lawi,enoes, all of whom are dead or moved away.
