6.45.The seventh game was another short one, and in 15 seconds Quebec scored, McCormack shoving the ball through.The two following games were well contested, during which some pretty stick-handling was witnessed, but both fell to the visitors in two minutes and one minute and a half, Lilly scoring on both occasions from side shots.The five following games were won by Quebec, the 11th particularly being a short and very pretty one.In this game the Torontos never touch ed the ball.McManamy got possession of it from the face, passed to Butler, who threw to Watson, who ran towards the Toronto goals and amidst great applause.As the game now stood Id to 1 in favor of Quebec and only eleven minutes remained, the Torontos decided to withdraw their team, and after the usual cheers both teams and spectators left the grounds, the latter satisfied of having seen one of the best matches played this season The officials, Messrs.Tansey, t're-\"ra >'*111 ant* Jackson, performed their du-did ties to the great satisfaction of the players and spectators, and probably it such officials had acted in some of the former matches the Quebec\u2019s posi tion in the league would be a different one.Following are the names of the players and the result of the match : Quebec.Goal .Point .(\u2019over .Defence Centre .Home.Allan.Tobin.Wheeler.Stewart.Tozer.Her.F.Moran.H.Moran

on Saturday afternoon by five games to four.The visitors played much better lacrosse than the home team, but they got no show from the referee, Carpenter, who was as poor as referee as could be selected.He allowed rough play to go unchecked, and the result was that the match was the roughest ever seen in Montreal.The match was witnessed by a big crowd of spectators The first game was over in thirty-seconds.The ball only touched the stick of a Capital man once, and never went on the National defence side at all.Brown ran straight up and passed to Wells, who scored.The second game lasted a little longer, but it was all National.The ball hung round the Capitals goals and only the wild passing of the National home staved off defeat.At last Wells brought the ball in and gave it to Brown, who ran in and passed to St.Aubin.O\u2019Doherty failed to check and the shot scored.Time 5 minutes.The Capitals were covering rallier loosely.Brown brought the hall in again and after some hot work around the poles Marcellin scored.Time turce minutes.In the fourth game the Capitals started m to play much better and they quickly secured the game.The fifth game opened with a hard attack on Nationals goals which Fii-la y son relieved.The game became more even.Cousineau shot on the Caps, goals was parried and Ralph sent the hall to Murphy.From him it went to Westwick, and a neat pasts to Durkin enabled the latter to pass \u2022Joe Valois and score, l ime, 5 min îles The sixth game opened with a .-durp attack on National flags.The game began to get very rough, the defences using the body freely.The Caps had the best of the playing.A long shot sent the ball to Durkin.There was no one to check him, and he sent in a ground shot that Foley failed to stop.Time, 9 minutes.The Nationals scored the seventh tame by a fluke, Wells making a long shot, from the field which .skipped b\\ Hutton\u2019s stick.Durkin scored the eighth game for the Capitals, and this so enraged the National goalkeeper, Foley, that he struck Hutton a terrible blow on the head with his stick, knocking Hm out.Hutton had to be carried off the field.By all the laws of the game Foley should have been put off for his dirty blow, but he was not.After a long discussion the Nationals agreed to drop Cousineau, and the match was continued with eleven a side.In the ninth game Ralph was sent to the fence for cross-checking.Two close attacks on the Capita) goals followed.Then Murphy made a fine run down the field.Brown got the ball and gave it to Brennan.From him it went to McKeown, who scored.Time 13 minutes.There were eighteen minutes left to play, but neither team scored liefore time was called.SHAMROCK.London, August 13.\u2014 The following official measurements of the cup challenger,
