The [Mets put up a game fight in the firet battle, losing out by a three to margin to the Pastern champs but they had just hopped oft of fhe train and were playing under «tx |man hockey rules. At that, the Mets jthrew a big scare into the Bastern jers and are given more than an even chance to rab off tonight's battle The poor condition of the Kastern playing surface which i natural ioe, ndicaps the speed of the play, aa the warm weather in the Kast has almost put the ice out of commission.

Buck Norman, of Wisconsin, a eight, dropped Ernie Daily, focal boy, in the first round, but wasn't in any kind of condition to put up a fight and had to throw up the sponge in the second round.
