Lost First Game Hockey was officially opened in Flesherton on Tuesday evening when Shelburne Senators played Flesher- ton and after a real close game emerged as winners by the score of 5-4. The game was quite even, al- thoug'h the score was tied three times Flesherton was not in the lead at any- time. Shelbume netted the first counter in the :^irst period when Fisher took a nice pass and Cairns soon after secured the equalizer. In the second period Hastilow and Mc- Cauley grave Shelbume a substantial lead, but this was cut down before the close when Cairns and Phillips each scored on combination plays Hastilow and Rutledge each bulged the twine in the last period, while Boyd secured the fourth groal foi Flesherton. The locals forced tht play for SLelhurne's end most of tlu third period and Raybum gave an excellent display of net minding and Flesherton had to be content with only one counter. The game wa8 fairly clean, Referee Reg. Boyd, giv- ing good satisfaction.
