defeated in fifth game of thl semifinals goalie jeorgo timbers sensational peaches ac after a long and successful season of hockey were forced to hing up their skates on thursday night as they went down to defeat at the hands of toronto monarchs in the local arena the loss came after live games between the two clubs in which each team had gained a win and a tie in case the fifth game had ended in a tie it was to be completed as the schedule was dragging on too far peaches ac took the first game of the five game series 10 on a late tally by neil brown the second contest played in ravina

the locals refused to play it the monarchs then had the choie of rinks and they wished to play it at dixie which was their home arena during the regular season the locals were badly outplayed m the first half and but for sensation al work of george timbers in the nets the score would have been in the double figures goalie timber pulled off some almost impossible saves as he caught and kicked o rubber from all sides and angu spectators agreed that it was one of the best exhibitions of goal keep ing they had witnessed all season with but a minute and fifteen sec onds remaining in the game coach warriner pulled timbers from the cage and as the puck was dropped m grove slipped the rubber to d smith standing in front of the net and the game was tied lip the locals continued to press and on two occasions d thomas broke through in the clear but failed to score the fifth and final game was the fastest game of the series and al though the visitors notched three tallies in the early stages the locals kept fighting but couldnt find the range late in the game the mon archs addedanother but with only a couple of minutes to go d smith rolled the rubber into the cage to break the

fortunate as in the first game and lost 21 the lions had the best part of the play in the first half but couldnt get any hard shots on the net they held the puck inside the visitors blue- line for the greater part of the time and in a scramble around the cage erie davis slipped the rubber opening twenty minutes the locals became very loose and allowed an attacking forward to skate right in on goalie ilallman to tie the score in the second half the toronto squad fought hard at the drop of the puck and added another to their total to take the game some of the stouffville players were late in
