GIRL HOCKEY PLAYER HAS COLLAR BONE FRACTURED While at a hockey practice this week ‘Miss Emma Troford had the misfortune to have her collar bone broken. In a collision with another girl player she thrown against the boards, striking her shoulder and sustaining a broken collar bone. Medâ€" ical attention was given the injury and the young lady is making excelâ€" lent recovery from the injury. She displayed considerable pluck and enâ€" durance walking to the doctor‘s office and making light of the injury, but will be out of hockey for the season. Probably a majority of the good sports here would be as well pleased to see all the girls out of hockey for the season before any others are inâ€" jured. No good sport likes to see any hockey player hurt, but it seems doubly regrettable when the girls are injured.
