MARYS Clinton's. fast-moving intermediates won 5 to 2, in St. Malys last night and made their position as league leaders all the more secure. In the first period both teams were even but in the last two frames ,Clinton's su- perior finish told heavily against St. Marys, R. McEwan ' .notched two of Clinton's goals with Pickett, McKay and F. McEwan getting one each. For St. Marys, Stevens and Noble were the goal -getters. The game tomorrow night between Seaforth and Clinton promises to be the best yet. Seaforth are determined to set the Colts back on their heels and, we understand, are coming up full force with that intent. The larg- est crowd and best game of the sea- son is assured. The Tie In New Hamburg .After being beaten by a score of 10-2 on Tuesday night of the same week, the New Hamburg ;Interme- diate's gave local fans quite a surprise when on Friday night they held the Colts to a 5-5 draw on the burgers home ice. Two or three unprevent- able circumstances Probably aided the burgers no little bit in being able to hold the Colts to such a close score, although by .that statement we don't wish to leave the impression that the Colts are invincible.' The fact that Harold Doak, regular goaltender, had previous to the game here with New Hamburg strained his back rather se- verely, was Unable to be in the line- up, aided New Hamburg's cause no little bit we are informed. Then last Wednesday night "Riley" John- son sustained a broken nose hi a col- lision with Kel. Streets when the team was going through one of its strenu- ous workouts at the local arena. This injury has put Johnson on the side- lines, and left the Colts with only three defencemen available for the game in New Hamburg. This was not considered such a serious handi- cap until in the first period of the game "Red" Rath received face injur- ies which necessitated his retirement from play for the rest of the game. This left the Colts without their regu- lar goaltender, and with only two de- fencemen, McKay and Kennedy, to carry on, and in strange surroundings at that. Considering also that the game went into overtime, we feel that the Colts did well to come out of the affair with a tie. As a result of this tie game, we understand that the rest of the teams in the group are now all hot and both- ered with the idea that the famous Cs ofslipping Colts Clinton are'from Clintona the high pedestal they have built up in the past four years. Certain it is that they may not haveflashed the same speed and combination, as a unit that has carried them through the last four years, and made them one of the most feared teams in Inter- mediate 13. Hockey, but we feel sure that when the time comes and the going gets tough, that the Celts will still have enough of the old-time zest left to carry them well along the trail toward the Championship. The New Hamburgers skated off the ice at the end of the first period with a 2 -goal lead, the Colts being held off the score -sheet. Goals were scored by Heihm and Emilie. Rater o player former professional pl yet fo r some years, was injected into the New Hamburg line-up? and added greatly to: the strength of what ap- peared to be a very weak defence when New Hamburg played here. Roth also drew down an assist on Heihm's goal. Three successive goals by Clinton in the second period put the Colts in the lead. Foster scored the first one. on R. McEwan's assist. F. Mo1wan scored the second one alone. Steven- son put the Colts ahead when he shot home Pickett's pass., Before the per- iodran out Aitz and Reid combined for New Hamburg, Ritz scoring the tieing goal. The period ended 8-3. Both teams scored twice in the fin- al period. ' Meihm broke the tie when he and Kropf combined. McKay and R, McEwan again tied it up, McKay getting the goal. "Bonnie" Foster put the Colts ahead with his second goal, but with only seconds' left of the final period Eichler took Boehler's pass to tie things all up again. Neither team was able to break the tie and the game ended in a 5-5 tie. The Farmers' Market Wheat, 95c. Oats, 43e to 45c. Barley, 55c. Buckwheat, 50e. Butterfat, 35c, 330. Eggs, 20c, 18e, 15e, 14c.
