Senators AVin Close Game TheOttawas Saturday night won their third victory of tho season over Canadiens; taking the second game in the last lap of the season's schedule by a score of 2 to 1, at Montreal. The playing was closo throughout, but the Uttawas put up a belter combination offensive than did tho Canadiens, who mostly inclined to individual plays.

The game was last with hard checking, and the defence on both sides wa.s in line form with the goal keepers giving fine exhibitions. Neighbor's playing for the Senators was a feature. Corbcau, Lalondc and Mummery of Camuliciis and Gerard ot the Ot tawas came in for a lot of attention from the referee, because of rough play. In one instance Corbcau jumped on an Ottawa man from behind, pinning him to the boards with his knees. Lalnnde and Gerard came into a mix up in centre ice.

After colliding with Lalondc, Gerard, who had been receiving considerable punishment, swung Lalondo off his feet. The latter, when ho rose, retaliated with his slick, and Gerard's injuries ventured six stitches in his scalp. Th Teami. Ottawas. Candiona.

W. ..11 F. A. 110 Pit 4 Seattle. Vancouver Spokane Portland 03 S3 SO bis AN overtime game, featured hy a mixup between Frank Patrick the Vancouver club, and "Moose" Johnson of the Portland Rosebuds at the Arena on Saturday night resulted in a victory for the Millionaires by a wore of 6 to 5.

Tho gxme was a whirlwind, but the unsportsmanlike actions of "Moose" Johnson marred the proceedings. 'ist why the Port land management allowed the big defence man to on the ice in the condition he was in is a puzzle to everybody. He was in no condition to play hockey. When he took the ice there as blood in his eye, and no sooner iad j'luy started than he commenced his rough work. Started a Scrap.

The climax was reached when Johnson and FatricK came together in the second period, a scrap being started immediately. Previous to this Johnson had checked Patrick across the face, and 1t is no joke to have a big. husky player like the "Moose" check you across the face with a hockey stick. However, the men catne together and it took practically all members of both teams and ihe referee to pry them apart. They were both given major penalties, bui Johnson was not allowed to return to i lie ice by the Portland officials.

This little affair was not only one started by Johnson during the first two periods, but details will be found in another column. "Si" Griffis was the hero ot Saturday light's game. "Si" bulged tlni net for the, winning goal with one of the prettiest shots seen on local ice for some time, after ten minutes and thirty of play. This overtime period was tne fastest and best of the game, both sides being on edge, and after the, winning tally. Portland Komi's First.

Portland was the first to tally, T'ick Irvin security? the puck and scoring unassisted after a smart run down the ice, after ten minutes had gone by. Shortly after this several sensational rushes were engineered by Mickey Mackay, Roberts and Taylor, Mackay linally getting the puck and passing to Roberts who scored. Three minutes later the same pair put Vancouver ahaad. The second period proved the undoing of Ernie Johnson. The big fellow had made dimself disagreeable throughout the game, hacking, checking and doing everything possible to hurt the Vancouver men.

Not batisfied with this, he had to trip the referee, while he also made a cut at Barney Stanley with his stick, who would surely have been seriotisly injured If he had not jumped out. of the way just in time. Johnson then picked his quarrel with Frank Patrick jtnd they came to blows. They rolled ver the ice locked in each others arms and it took quite a bunch of husky fellows to pry them apart. Both were given ten minutes on the bench, but Johnson was kept out of the game altogether.

After this both teams played a fine brand of hockey. Irvin Is Slur. Shortly after tho period opened I.oughlin scored for Portland, but before the period ended the Millionaires had tallied two more, Stanley and Mackay turning the trick. Dick Irvin, the sensational little forward of the Portland club worked himself into the spotlight in the third period, scoring three goals and putting the Portland team ahead. It can be safely fcaid that if all members of the Portland team worked like Irvin, they would not, lie at the bottom of the league standing, "Cyclone" Taylor lied the game up shortly before time on a pass from Stanley, and the fans went wild.

The overtime period was an exciting affair. The Portland club went after the game with a vim, but the Vancouver defence was too much for them. Griffis broke up a couple of attacks, and finally secured the puck, (hooting the winning goal unassisted. Mirk ey Mackav was the hardest RESULTS AND Tilt Trams.

PLAYS GOOD DEFENCE GAME FOR ROSEBUDS A KM AI OHUN Tlv.ii former Mnnarch p'riyer of "tt'innlpPK played a nU for Portland ain in the fr a with Vancouver at he Arna on Saturday and is showing bo'ter ft' nn rvry amo he Once Overs The state of war in which the great nation to the (south of us finds itself today is as a zephyr of wind compared to it Kansas cyclone to the turmoil which encompassed the soul of Moose Johnson at the Arena on Saturday night. Johnson was positively dangerous and his removal from the game after his fight with Patrick was a sensible move by the Portland management.

Johnson was in a vile mood all day. The writer dropped into the Castle Hotel during the afternoon and was promptly pounced upon by Moose, and truculently informed that all sport writers were on a par with His Germanic Kaisership, but that if anyone was hankering for real warfare they should attend at the Arena that evening as a lot of old scores were to be wiped out. When in these moods, Johnson is about as easy to handle as a crate full of grizzly bears and he caused much wor riinent to Charley Tobin who did his best to have the Moose observe training rules Ions enough to see the game through. The Moose unburdened himself to us of matters which had apparently caused sorrow to his Norse soul for many moons. He gave his opinion of local and Portland sport writers in the same breath that he loudly objected to the recent action of the league proxy in setting him back fifteen bones for attacking Referee George Irvine, which he frankly confessed is the basic reason behind his present war like sentiments.

When Johnson is right he has few peers in the game and in fairness to him it must be admitted that his condition should have warned his team mates that he was not shape to appear. The game was hardly under way before he viciously checked Gordon Roberts. Then he cast caution to the winds and took Taylor, Patrick and Stanley in turn. He did six minutes on the fence in the first period and was ot no use whatever to his club males. In the second period he started out to play real hockey (when he could keep 'his balance) and almost scored twice.

Then Patrick engineered a long lone rush towards Murray. Moose, steered him into a neutral corner and in a few seconds sticks had been dropped and the two gladiators were mixing it freely. Neither man was too proud to fight, and no preliminary notes were written. It. required the united efforts of half a dozen players to pry them apart.

hugely enjoyed the sciap while it lasted, but if he is anxious to give any further cxhioition of "frightfulne.ss," he should go to central rhirope, where that sort of display appears to be popular. If the kaiser had been in attendance on Saturday, it is quite likely Johnson would be sporting an Iron Cross or two today. After all, though, Moose has a sense of humor. Jim Seaborn found the game so fast at times he was utterly unable to keep out of the player. roud.

Johnson skated by once and neatly tripped him up. There was little excuse for the byplay, but it caused the paid attendance to chortle with unrestrained glee us the long fellow sat down on the hard surface with startling vigor. During his sojourn on the mourners' bench, following the fight wuh Patrick, iloose again displayed his humor when he laboriously explained in the ear of Art Garvcy that Patrick would have to apologize to him for certain statements allegedly made a few mo'menta previous anent his physical condition, a statement which Moose insisted was nothing short of libellous. The game itself was one of the fastest seen at the Arena this year. Portland were out to win and nothing but the sensational work of Lehman between tho uprights keir.t the L'ncle Sams out long enough for SI Griffis, no less, to slip across the winning goal after more than ten minutes of strenuous overtime.

Smoke Harris, Tobin, Dick Irvin and even Tommy Dttnderdale played brilliant hockey and they checked with unaccustomed vigor. Clem McLonghlin had a good night and lanky All' Barbour displayed form which makes one wonder that he ha.s nut been used more frequently. With Johnson in form the Portlanders certainly would have had tho edge on tjUo and their President Patrick States That Portland Management Should Take Action in Johnson Case. There Will be Xo Repetition of Johnson's Action, Says Prexy. Intimating that there would be a big shakeup in the Pacific Coast Hockey Association before another season, President Prank Patrick stated today that owing to tho fact that he was a principal in the mix up with Ernie Johnson in the game at the Arcnn on Saturday night, ho could not very well exercise his authority as president of th? league and tuck a fine on the "Moose" cr suspend him for his unsportsmanlike actions in the contest.

"I think, however," said Mr. Patrick, "that it is tip to the Portland management to take ihe mutter in charge. 1 did not see Johnson before the game and did not know the condition he was in, and was under the impression that ho was playing his usually rough game, until informed by one of the players." riiangcs Intimated. For the first time in tho history of the Pacitic Coast Hockey Association, a placer was guilty of turning out to play hockey, when he was in no condition to play, and President Patrick stated today that it was the tirst and last time. Before the Luited States teams were admitted to the league everything went smoothly and quietly, and Mr.

Patrick intimated that drastic changes may be made before another season opens, in order to get back on the smooth running basis on which the league stood before the admittance of American teams. The probabilities are that Johnson has 'played his last game in the Coast I League. The Millionaires leave tomorrow for Seattle where they play the Metropolitans tomorrow night. Despite the fact that he has a couple of bad eyes and three stitches in his head, President 'utriok stated that ho will In all probability got into the game. rte uia not sttiior si iiiuctt irom Johnson's check in the face as ho did from the cut accidentally made by Irvin's stick.

SKI CONTESTS 0NT0M0RR0W The third annual Revelstoke winter sports tournament will get under way Tuesday, when the long distance ski race fur the British Columbia title, the junior events and the ladies' ski race will be held. On Wednesday, Nels Nelson will endeavor to break the Canadian amateur ski jump record, and Ragnar Omtvedt will try to smash his own (the world's) record for ski jumping of 192.9 feet. The ski jumping contest for the championship of British Columbia will also be held on Wednesday. ultimate defeat is due In no small measure to the temperamental Nor ipio.ctl lit tue li isu mils at a uie linition factory.

Bryan, the Buds' boss, and the man who is said to have a controlling interest in the Portland Arena, accompanied the Buds to this city and naturally he faw Johnson's exhibition. What action tle Portland management will take in the matter is, of course, problematical. It is unlikely that President Patrick will officially take any action in view of the peculiar circumstances surrounding the incident. Por the sake of club discipline, if for nothing else, Johnson should not be allowed to get away with such a display without a suspension or at least a heavy line. Tom Murray dropped to his knees when Roberts broke through the Bud dejeiico in the first period.

His attitude of supplication found the genial niedico hockeyist unmoved, however, and the puck drifted In behind him in the tantalizing manner that most of Roberts' shots seem to take. And, by the way, Roberts is very proud of that shot of his. He claims that it curves deceptively and is very hard for the goalies to judge. Inasmuch as ho has in the past invuribly hustled the famous Tom Smith for tho scoring honors of the eastern league, there may be something to his contention at that. With Morris out of the game, Pick Irvin and Doc Roberts should put up a real merry battle for the scoring At present Roberts is leading the sensational Bud centre by one point, while Morris still heads tho list with one point better than the Millionaire.

Irvin right now is playing better thun his Vancouver rival. Rcberts is apparently in a slump. He Is not checking back the way he has shown himself capable of doing in fernicr games. At any rate the race for scoring honors will be a very keen one and should provide much fodder for fans and lunettes. I Pennant Ltd.
