NEW
YORK,
Dec.

Professional
hockey
was
ushered
In
here
last
night
before
a
crowd

19,000
spectators,
the

of
Montreal
defeating
of
the
New

Americans
by
a
score
of
3
goals
to

The
spectators,
many
of
whom
had
never
seen
a
hockey
game
before,
showed
keen
Interest
and
rooted
lustily
for
their
side
and
also
at
some
of
the
clever
plays
of
the
visitors.
Most
of
the
members
of
the
New
York
team
are
from
Canada,
having
been
Imported
to
make
a
team
strong
enough
to
compete
with
the
other
teams
In
the
National
League
to
which
they
belong.
This
victory
gives
the
Canadiens
the
Prince

to
hold
until
the
end
of
the
season
when
it
will
be
presented
to

either
by
the
Prince
in

or
by
