It was the third shut-out scored by Lorne Chabot this sea- gon and was the third straight sustained by the visitors who, in Baldy Northcott and Paul Haynes, have the two leading marksmen of the Canadian sec- tion. Previous to being blanked by the Rangers and Senators, the Maroons scored one goal against the Chicago Black Hawks, a week ago last night. As that counter was scored with four minutes to 'play in the first period the Maroons have been held score- less for 224 minutes, almost a feague record. Claney's goal caught Flal Walsh in the Maroons' goal off his guard. The local defence man, who turned in one of his best games of the season, dashed down the ice after a Maroon at- tack and as he reached the blue line slowed up to enable the two teammates who flanked him to close in on the goal. Walsh waited for Clancy to pass but instead he drilled a shot into the twine. Walsh did not see the shot until the rubber was in the net. "The goal looked of the soft var- iety but Clancy merely out-guess- led the goalie, Rangers Take Lead New York, Dec. 30.--The New ork Rangers once again took rst place in the United States division of the National Hockey League last night, passing the idle Boston Bruins as they de- feated the Ottawa Senators, 4-2, in a stirring ice battle. 5 For two periods it was one of he fastest, hottest games in [New York this season, with extra rills in a "gift" goal and another goal which drew violent protests rom the Senators. A near-cap- city crowd was kept in a high pitch of excitement. After taking lead in the second period the angers played safe in the third nd slowed the game up a bit. Ottawa penalties led to the ngers' winning goals in the second period after the first had nded, 2-2. In the first, Bill ook opened the scoring in the bpening minute with a =oal that ent into the net off Allen Bhields' stick.
