Before the finish Shew, chuvh nailed the victory down tight by breaking away on the left wing and scoring another, making the final count Victoria High Scona High Collingwood In Form For Scona, Lehman in gual gave a nice exhibition, and the other players who showed up best were Duggan and Talbot. Collingwood was easily the pick of the winners, in faot the best of the whole bunch. He scored three of the goals and checked back In big leaguo style all the time he was on the Ice.

There was a big crowd of rooters from both schools In attendance ana the game was weH handled by Baldy Lynn. The teams were represented by the following players: Scona Lehman, McMann, Alton, Mc-Kinnon, Duggan, Talbot. Thurston. Victoria High IteJd, Harrison, Kinney, Drlscoll, Haight, Shewchuck, Collingwood, ToeselU "up and down" and Incidentally trying to arrange a play-off between tho winners and tha was pressed Into service as referee as a result of the refusal of tho Mapta Loafs to accept tha official appointed by the Saskatchewan association. According to the report of tha battle, Barney handled tha bell In goad atyla.

Whether Edmonton's famous puokohaser waa able to make arrangements for a play-off that will bring tha Saskatchewan ehampiona here has not yst boon disclosed, but there Is just a chance that a home and horns series will materlaliie. see Interest In the forthcoming bout at Toledo between Jimmy Wilde and Frankie Mason for tho world's flyweight title, whioh takes place early In March, and for which the Welsh atom is guaranteed the handsome figure of $10,000, has been somewhat increased following the licking Mason handed out to "Red" Con-ant at Fort Wayne Monday night Mason gave away considerable weight to the "Rod" person, but this did not appear to cause him any undue hardship, aa he pum-moled Conant all over the ring and tha bout was stopped in the third frame with "Red" pretty badly used up. Wilde has done exactly the sams thing in his recent bouts, and when the two classy midgets mingle a rare exhibition shou'd be witneesed. Wilde recently declared that he was in the very best condition he had svsr been in, and aheuld take, a lot of stopping from now on.

Although the Maple Leaft Just managed to got a win over the Viet by the odd goal in throe, the victory ia all tha sweeter because tha feat was accomplished on Reglna' Ice and before a crowd of fans largely partisan. Tha advantage of a one goal lead in a two-game series In which total goals count dooa not look vary big to an outsider, but it'a a pretty good gamble that tha single tally atacka up aa big as tha Robin Hood flour mills to tho Moose Jaw fan. Tho second game of tho oerioa will ba ataged at Mooee Jaw's dinky little rink Friday night, and on that occasion there will ba much gnashing of teeth because tha Maple Leafs have not an enclosure big enough to accommodate more than twenty-five per cent of tha fans who will ba olamoring for admission. Tha receipts at tha game in Regina last night would in all probability bo exceeded if Mooee jaw had a rink capable of housing tha crowd. Business of much talk about building "tho finest rink in western Canada" may ba looked for soon.

Barney Stanley, who journeyed to Regina for the purpose of giving the players of both teams the in annual session Tuesday of nest week at the T.
