Misses Carlson, of the Dome, formerly, were loyal ‘to the (Porcupine colours. Theie were quite a numbe1 down from ‘Nontlh Bay for the Porcupine- Kitchener series. In‘ the ‘ Kitchenerâ€"Porcupine series- the ‘Porkies started out Well and led“ fo1 the first two periods, but the ef- \fect of the three gruelling bonits they had been thrdngh began to tell on them and they slowed down considel- ably. murmy was severely hurt earl y in the first period and had to be car-' -1ied oif for some time.

The brave stant. the Porkies made on Friday ’evening resulted in a record crowd for Saturday ’s/game and even when it became plain that the tired little} Porkies could not hOpe to Win out, ! the 7,500 or more throats present gave them a rousing cheer every time they came out on the ice and encouraged them as much as it was possible to do. Butt“ the human frame is not a machine altOgether and the Green Shirts of Kitchener were fresh and were a very much heavier outfit, so that by the middle of the second period it became evident that the Por- cupine boys were (too Worn-out to stage the come-back £01 which the fans were hoping.

As a former Porcupine resident whom we saw in it reinarke ed, “ Some excitement for' a little place like South Porcupine to stir up" In our scouting around during the hockey session on "the Peninsula We came across the following stanzas “a la.Rowlatt of Paris” written after a Paris- Port Colborne game in years past. Of the ballad the following two names concern Porcupine boysâ€"- “ ‘Tis good to see our Thrower 3huck ' Dart down and break the line, And many a ltime it has been said Our Jemmett’s doing fine.” " A“MeHutahion, 1he’s a right good sub.
