"Bengals Upset Nats And Lead Big Group"

"Fitzgerald and Blake Count Goals That Bring 2-1 Victory at Toronto"

Before a woefully empty crowd at Maple Leaf Gardens last night Hamilton's Bengals took over first place in the division with a 2 - 1 victory over the Toronto West Nationals. The close checking of the Nats kept the score low despite repeated assaults by the Yellow and Black on the Toronto net. Particularly strong was the Conick, Bennett and Blake line which threatened on virtually every shift. The McGowan, Fitzgerald and Bellingham line also featured prominently.
In net "Hawse" Marsh held the Nats to a single goal despite a strong assault by the homesters in the last ten minutes as the tried to tie the score. Howard, Radke and Farrell were strong on defence keeping the Nats in check except for a single tally by McClelland which opened the scoring in the second frame. Fitzgerald tied it up at the 16 minute mark of the second frame while Blake, assisted by Conick, scored the winner in the third period.

"Sailors Are Soundly Trounced By Bengals"

"Small Score But Big Playing Edge for Tigers as They Gain Ground"

Hamilton consolidated its position at the top of the standings in the Senior O.H.A loop last night with a convincing victory over the Ports. Although the outcome was in doubt until the final seconds, the Bengals soundly outplayed a surprisingly tame Sailor team.
The Tigers took the early lead on a goal by Radke from McGowan in the first period and held a slim 2 - 1 lead at the end of the second as Gray scored for the Ports and Conick from Bennett for the Bengals. The Tigers held this slim lead until the dying seconds of the game when Stevie Conick clinched the victory with only seconds remaining on a pass from Bennett. Although the Tigers dominated throughout the game and put up a stalwart effort defensively with numerous scoring chances, the game remained in doubt until the final seconds. Goalie "Hawse" Marsh easily throttled the few scoring chances the Port did manage.

"Tigers Stretch Lead in Senior O.H.A Race"

"Conick and Blake Provide Third Period Punch for 4 to 2 Win"

That the best defence is a good offence was exemplified again in Tigers 4 - 2 victory over the Cataracts. It was a loosely played, penalty filled game with little regard for defence. Both teams threw furious attacks on the other sides defence, keeping the goalers busy at both ends.
In a wide open exciting contest Hamilton took the early lead with a 2-0 margin at the end of the first on goals by Howard on a fine rush up the ice finishing off with a back-handed lift that Cuthbert failed to stop. Later with the Falls a man short, McGowan fired a timely snap shot high into the net giving the homesters their 2-0 lead.
However in the second period, loose defensive play accompanied by a lack of back-checking allowed the Cataracts to score two quick goals by Peterkin and George Hastie, perhaps the best player on the ice, leaving the match tied at the end of the second frame.
In the third, with Bennett in the penalty box, Conick smartly picked off a Cataract pass and drove to the net easily beating the Falls goalie. Five minutes later with both teams shorthanded, Blake did the same thing intercepting a pass and breaking in to beat Cuthbert giving the Bengals a 4-2 lead which they would not relinquish.

"Empires Well Beaten By Speeding Bengals"

"Yellow and Black Too Strong for Kitchener and Lengthen Margin"

After giving Kitchener an early lead the Bengals roared back scoring four in the second and four more in the third to come away with a well-deserved 8 to 2 victory.
Maxie Bennett led the squad with a four point effort and his days in amateur hockey may be numbered. The defence played well and also participated in the offensive storm with Farrell, Howard and Radke with two counters all adding to the scoring onslaught. The Blake, Bennett, Conick trio were dominant particularly in the third period and helped seal the easy victory for the Tigers.

Torontos tied the score in the third and Bennett notched the winner to yield the victory.
