ST. NICHOLAS DOWNED B. A. A.

The B. A. A. hockey team went down to its first defeat of the season before the St. Nicholas Club of New York in the game played at the Arena on Saturday evening. The 5 to 2 victory of the New York team was due in great part to the playing of the former Princeton star, "Hobey" Baker, together with the clever and opportune stick-work of his teammate, Ellis, who scored three of the five goals. The B. A. A. seven suffered through lack of team-work, which prevented its most sensational player, Skilton, from shooting as many goals as he otherwise might have done. The whole game was replete with spectacular plays on both sides, which held the 6,500 spectators breathless during the whole time.
