The score was 3â€"2. In the first period each team scored one goal; in the second, Poreupine seored one and Timâ€" mins two. For the remaining time the game was very closely contested and Levine in goal for Timmins was kept very busy trying to hold Purâ€" cupine from evening the seore. It was an interesting game to watch, there being no slow moments, as the teams seemed very evenly balanced, though the Poreupine boys may not yet have the thorough team play that a‘longer period of work together can give them. But we know they are going to be no mean opponents for whatever team is up against them this winter, and all may expect to see real hockey if they follow our boys this season. Unfortunately Geo. Mason was injured in the early part of the game but did not lose much time till he was back on the ice. There was a good attendance but there is still accommodation for more. Come out and cheer our own boys to victory next time. They‘ll do their part; let us do ours. (The lineâ€"up was :â€"South Poreupine:â€"goal, W.
