FIOCKEY.
"Die opetiiti,e game of group No.
14, Junior O.11.A„ which includes the
teams of Mitchell, Seaforth and
Clutton, was staged in the Palace
rink, Seaforth, on Tnesdav evening,
when Mitchell defeated Seaforth 4-2.
The ice was ie excellent condition, fn
fact there has been 'nearly as much
good ice already this year as
some years during the en-
tire winter. Mitchell came with a
good reputationhaving previously
had an exhibition game iu which they
held the Stratford juniors to a tie,
but during the first period, which
ended' 1-1, Seaforth lads appeared to
be. better organized Kerslake and
Matthews worked well together on
the attack, but.found-a lot of weight
to be +overcome in Mitchell defence.
There were two penalties in this
period and one.in the second, ..
Seaforth 'opened the scoring' in the
second period, but the period closed
with Mitchell: on the long end of a
nal
period,
_•� In
the' 'final p
score. 3..,
Mitchell again 'counted, and held the
home boys scoreless in spite of re-
peated .testing out the goal keeper's

capable ,and was never caught nap-
