I'he final game in the fourth round ls vet to be played, the second same of the Newmarket-Brace- dridge series, in which Bracebridge s carrying a one goal lead to New- market, Oshawa plays at Kitchener Sat- arday night, with the return game it Whithy on. Monday. In the semi- !inals, Oshawa if they dispose of Kitchener will meet the winners of the Newmarket-Bracebridge se- ries, probably on February 29 and Friday, March 2. Thus Oshawa has a real chance of appearing in the O.H.A, finals. In the other semi- finals, Parkviews or Kew Beagh, the finalists in the Toronto Ama- teur Association, will met: Port Col- borne, and on the showing of the Port Colborne team against last vear's winners, the London Battery team, they are favored to emerge in front, Port Colborne have a power- ful team, as their showing against the powerful battery team evidene- es, winning the round by ten goals. They won both games, piling up the count in the first game par- ticularly. Nixon is their star play- er, and accounted for three of the team's total return game at Lon- don last evening.

Doth teams were clinging to a .fast-fading chance for the championship, and the Hornets practical)y passed into the discard while t)fe locals edged a osition. had everythi not extend and the game lacked all the usual action of the Canpro fixtures. The Hornets appeared worn out by the win over Stratford on Tuesday night and the train jump being a trifle too much, while the locals lacked the reserve strength and could only go in flashes, A few thrillls thrown in in the last five minutes of play, when both teams collected a counter, and a little aggressive play by Bert Cor- beau were the only signs of life to disturb the scattered patrons from an hour's slumber. Primeau Gets Two Joe Primeau, the Falcons' mid- ice man, was responsible for both scores. He made the play for the first in the opening minute when he took a wild shot at the nets and Elliott tapped in the rubber as it bounded on its way for a score, The second goal came when Gross bored behind the Windsor cage and slipped the puck across the goal-mouth, Primeau pushing it over the line. Windsor's lone tal- ly came from a scramble in front of the nets, Fournier firing through a maze of players into the Falcons' goal. All the scores were like 'the game, unfinished and of the sloppy variety. PORT COLBORNE PUTS 12TH BATTERY OUT London, Ont, Feb. 22.--The power- ful Port Colborne intermediates put the 12th Battery champions out of the running for the O.H.A, interme- diate title at the Arena tonight in a ered out of the contention.

The finals | LEAFS HOME TO PLAY MAROONS TONIGHT Toronto, Feb, 23.--After an ab- sence of nine days, during which they played three games on the road and picked up three of the possible six points, the Maple Leafs returned home yesterday morning to fulfill an engagement with the Montreal Maroons here tonight, and it will be their last game at the Arena for another nine days. After tonight they rest until Tuesday when they play the Ranggers in New York and then go on to Pittsburg to tackle the Pirates. The team was accom- panied back from Montreal hy Captain Happy Day, who was in- jured three weeks ago tonight in the game against Canadiens, and he has been a atient in the Wes- tern Hospital in that city ever since. Day has his ankle in a cast, and will return to Montreal on March 12 to have the cast re- moved, Until then it will be un- certain how the injury has pro- gressed, but the Leafs' leader stat- ed last night that the doctors were confident he would be able to play again next season, and would suffer no ill effects of the injuries, Granites Lead Toronto *Spiel Toronto, Feb. 23.--By a stout- hearted finish in which he over- came a deficit of five shots with only as many ends to play, and af- ter scoring two on the twelfth end to force the game into an extra end, and then another two on tke thirteenth to win, 14-12, against Dr. Plaxton's Torontos, Fred Kelk, of the Granites, took the lead in the Grand Aggregate competition for the Royal York Trophy in the first annual Toronto bomsplel, he having won the ten matches play- ed, and he is the only skip to still have an active interest in the three competitions. Kelk has won three matches in each of the events, and his narrow victory which was ter- minated at midnight was in the fourth round of the North Ameri- | can Life Trophy. He is closely pursued by W. Piligrem, of Mea- ford, who won eight straight be- fore being defeated by Everett Smith, of Halleybury, in the Sel- berling Trophy, but he came back with wins in the four rounds of each of the other two events, and Pilligrem is now in second place with ten wins and one loss. Judge O'Connor, of Cobourg, made it two wins in _a row over Dr, Nolson Tait, of Tofontos, when he won in the fourth round of the Seiberling competition, and D. A. MacNab, of Orillia, gave G. O. Cameron's Barrie quartet its see- ond defeat of the evening and bon- spiel in the same event. These re- sults place Pillgrem, of Meaford, second to Kelk in the grand aggre- gate with ten wins and one loss. while Tait and Cameron are third with nine wins-and two losses. Play started yesterday morning with four undefeated rinks leading for the Grand Aggrerate, and af- ter Pillgrem's perfect record had been shattered Dr. Tait, of Toron- tos, fell before Judge O'Connors, of Cobourg, and at the same time G. O. Cameron, of Barrie, lost to the Watson brothers, of Sarnia. after winning eight straights. Tait went right back at O'Connor in the last draw of the evening, while Cameron tackled MacNab, of Oril- lia, and if they win these games they will he on even terms with the Pillgrem four. Owing to four of the rinks being alive in all three competitions, play was retarded somewhat, hut everything progres- sed satisfactorily, and 2s a result there are only eight rinks left in each of the three competitions.
