(Received December 29, 2.45 p.m.) LONDON, December 28.
The worst scenes in the English ice hockey current season were witnessed when a mass fight, wherein every player, except the goalkeepers, participated, broke out shortly before the end of the match at I-larringay, between Harringay Greyhounds and Earls Court. Rangers.
The trouble spread when a player in each team dropped a stick, tore off his gloves, and tackled each other with bare fists. The rink was instantly a surging mass of fighters. The Earl’s Court coach and the resting players tried to separate them. Those who started the fight were penalised for ten' minutes, which is an English record. The whole match was Troublesome owing to private feuds coining to a head. The referee suspended play before half-time, in order to separate two bellicose players. The penalty box was fuR of players in the last ten minutes, Earls Court having only two cn the rink. The result was Greyhounds 4. Rangers 2.
