Thana "tena DE I Teast snanan destinies of the league this year the gathering thought no better person than Cyril Elliott could be selected. To assist him in the capacities of vice president and - secretary-treasurer, respectively, Messrs, Dane Found and William Harmer were elected. The ice committee consists of W. G. Davis, chairman, Jack Smith and an- other member to be appointed if the committee" sees fit. Honorary pre= sidents are Messrs Jack Nott, W, G. Davis, Wm. Fitches and Jack Smith. | The question of ice accommodation is the most serious problem facing the league at the present time, in that it is not known what require- ments will be needed and how many teams will be entering the series. The ice conunittce was instructed to get in touch with the rink authorities immediately and to report back to the executive Friday night, Only Intermediate Series It was decided to operate only an intermediate series this year, due to the lack of ice accommodation, In this connection about ten teams are expected and there are strong possi- bilities that there will be more anx- ious to get into the league. All teams proposing to have a franchise in the intermediate series this win- ter are asked to have a representa- tive at next Monday night's open meeting . Here further plans, such as | the setting of an entry fee, etc,, will be decided upon, Last. night's organization of an in- dustrial city league was formed on the opinion that there would be no Church League in + operation this year, it being understood, unofficially of course, that the latter organiza- tion would not function this winter, One gentleman at the meeting de- clared he has been trying to find out why the Church League has been slow in calling a meeting but to date has found it impossible. It was gen- 'eraily regreted that the €hurch Lea- gue was not going to operate in that it has done much for hockey in Osh- awa, Should the Church League get going this winter, that fact will not bar teams from entering both lea- gues, Play In Whitby It was suggested and the idea re- ceived with general satisfaction, that if the loeal rink management found it could not give sufficient accommo- dation that some of the games, rather than have any teams forced agt of play, would be taken to Whitby, providing rink accommodations could be secured in that town. It was the general consensus of those present that teams would not mind going to Whitby for the odd game. General regret that the league could not foster a junior, midget and juvenile series this year, was express- ed, but it was explained that there is a probability that a school league will take care of the little fellows. A collegiate league, it is believed will look after the juniors. Then the majority of those fellows wishing to play and who do not attend those various institutions, will he able to catch with some of the intermediate teams. Bill Harmer stated he understands there will be at least six teams enter from the various departments of the General Motors. Last night there were five other teams represented and all of these it is expected will have teams in action this winter, Therefore the prospects are that there will be at least ten teams in competition. In the meaning, though, teams are requested to get organized and ap- point a representative to sit with the executive next Monday night. The meeting will be called for 7.30 o'clock at the Y.M.CA. | Secretary Harmer will be available any evening at his home and can be communicated with on the telephone, No. 2655]. Calls to his department for obvious reasons cannot be an- swered at the General Motors There- for teams are requested not to get in touch with him there.

STETCHER DEFEATS GANSON IN BOUT ON WRESTLING CARD New York, Dec. 6,--Joe Stetcher, the heavyweight wrestler from Ne- braska, scored a victory over Joe Ganson of San Francisco in the feature bout at the St. Nicholas Arena last night before 1,200 fans. Stetcher, weighing 212 pounds, threw Ganson with a full hody scis- sors and body hold in 42 min, 26 sec. Ganson weighed 193 pounds, Stetcher applied his deciding hold, following a minute of grap- pling in one corner of the ring. Ganson's attempts to squirm out of the hold was without avail. Stetcher gradually brough his opponent's shoulders to the mat after a strug- gle of less than a minute. The bout was to go to a finish, but for a time it looked as though it would he very short, for Stetcher had a *leg split" hold on Ganson. The latter, however, managed to break it. Stetcher used this hold three times during the bout and Ganson once. Quebec, annual TO RESIDE IN TORONTO Saskatoon, Sask. Dee. 6.--Miss Ethel Catherwood, sensational young jumping star, who startled Eastern Canada last fall with her track prowess, has confirmed re- ports that she is soon to leave her Saskatoon home to take up resi- dence in Toronto. Miss Catherwood hopes to be one of Canada's rep- resentatives at the Amsterdam Olympiad next year, and believes Toronto offers her more favorable training facilities. The world's record of 5 feet 2 7-16 inches, made by Miss Cather- wood at Regina in 1926 was offici- ally recognized by the Amateur Athletic Union of Canada at the annual meeting last week. Her ath- letic career was commenced in bigh school at Saskatoon, and she has been prominent in basketball circles here. She is also a baseball star. BILL TOUHEY RELEASED Stratford, ° Dee. ~~ Billy" Toughey, flashy and clever centre man of the Montreal Maroons, has arrived in the city and will be seen in action for the first time on local ice this season when Stratford tackles London on Friday night. Toughey was with Stratford last year. There will be another new play- er on the local ine-up Friday night in Jack Connelly, leading scorer in the Prairie League last year. He was obtained in a trade that sent Jack Kenther, former Windsor amateur, to the St. Paul's Club of the American Association. Connelly was having some trouble to get over the border to play for St. Paul, and that club, wishing a de- fense man in preference to a right wing player, arranged a deal.

They took the track in the first period when they drove the puck into the net'on two oc- casions, but after that it was a bat- tle, the Irish going down fighting to the last. So determvined and effective was the stand put up by 8t. Mike's that it appeared midway in the last pe. riod that they would tie the score and perhaps win, but a long shot that eluded Goalkeeper Whalen sealed the fate of the Irish after a Regan to Cerre combination attack had reduced Newmarket's lead to one. Poor marksmanship proved cost- ly to the Irigh, Beset by close checking the attackers could not get their shots away at the proper time, but when they did pelt them in with terrific speed their inac- curacy was something to bring grief to their supporters. It was the same_old story. The locals ean handle that puck, but they can't shoot it into the twine with any degree of regularity. Newmarket played high-class hockey for so early in the season. Under Coach Hancock's expert dir- ection they have developed a fine defensive systemr, much resembling that used by professional teams, and they would have broken the hearts of less "game" players than the Irish with their consistent poke checking. Trivett and Thoms, the centre men. were particularly effec- tive, and Pringle and Perrault on the defensive more than lived up to expectations, St, Michael's elected to use Re- gan, thelr star defense man on the wing, but he did not shine in his new position and tried early. Late in the game, however, he was mov. ed back and immediately opened up some sensational attacks that had the fans on thelr feet cheering wild- ly. Newmarket paid close atten- tion to the Irish star, and he could not go far without being accom- panied by two or three of the most persistent checkers imaginable. But at that Regan got in some stellar work. Sport Briefs CUTE LITTLE PRIZE Prescott, Dec. 6.--Over 500 guests attended a grand ball held in Victoria Opera House, Prescott, under the auspices of the Prescott Hockey Club, the attendance being a record one. The grand march was led by A. C. Casselman, M.P., of Prescott, and the prize waltz was won by Miss Molly Carey and Ger- ald Quinn, hoth of Prescott. Wil- liam Wilkinson held the lucky number which won the little live pig. re WINNIPEG IN CELLAR Winnipeg, Dec. 8.--The Winnl- peg Maroons were forced further into the cellar of the American Hockey Association last night, when Kansas City humbled them by a count of 5 to 2. It was the Maroons' sixth defeat of the season. The hefty visitors gained a lead of two goals in the first period and then held the locals safely in check throughout the remaining sessions, ox A CARDINAL CLUB ORGANIZE Prescott, Dec. 6.--The Cardinal Hockey Club has been organized for the coming season with the fol- lowing officers: Honorary Presi- dent, Reeve W .P.

The starting point will be 192 feet above ground and the take-off 130 feet above the spectators' level, the top of the slide towering over the runwey 240 feet. The maximum jump possible on the slide will be more than 200 feet, engineers for the club estimated. rx NO BEST AT GARDENS New York, Dee. 6.--There was no rest for the weary at Madison Square Garden Jlast night. Sleepy- eyed spectators were kept awake by a continuous uproar of noise as weary-legged rides were forced to pedal persistently in order to keep within hailing distance of the am- bitiouz six-day riders who started one jam after another in their ef- forts to gain on the frenzied field. Even before the evening sprints aroused the early crowd from a lapse of lethargy the jamming started an uprcar that lasted late and long with only periodic inter- missions of quiet that were short. The standing of the teams shift- ed almost continuously, but Belloni and Debaets, the team formed from brave Belgium and sunny Italy by gaining a lap managed to hold its place at the front of the pedalling parade. ; line , me SPORT SNAPSHOTS College of Whitby, siderable interest. the secretary of the sportin, games where Harry occupied a substitute less prominent amate' can take opinions and is going great guns.

That is the question that is going the rounds in this district now that the Ontario Ladies' Hockey Association has just finished its annual pow- wow at Toronto. Taking into consideration the number of teams com- posed of girls around here, there isn't really any reason why a should not be formed and. affiliated with the parent body.

Oshawa and District, therefore should not have any trouble getting four or six teams to- gether. It would not be necessary to make many out-of-town trips as the local league could become affiliated with the O.L.H.A. and then have the local winner or an all star team go into the play-offs for the Ontario title. The league would make the favorite winter pastime a whale lot more interesting for girls and it would tend to keep that spirit between one another from year to year. The majority softball teams in this vicinity seems to have the same personnel on their line-ups year in and year out and for that very reason there should not be much trouble to get a team together. All that is re- quired is someone to take held and push the matter.

Tl : Canada's Hopes kor Honors In Big ' Marathon From a competitive standpoint, 1926 and 1927 have been great years for Canuck marathoners. Full distance marathon races have been promoted in this country, and a greatgr number of Canadians have at@ined success in Yankee marathon classics than ever before. Canada hadn't had a full distance marathon for two decades when the 'Montreal Harrier Association staged one last year in the Quebec metropolis. Then the Olympic club of Mamilton sponsored the Olympic marathon trial and the Halifax Herald made a stab at the full distance stuff last month. Three Canadian 26-mile marathons in two years certainly looked good to the Canadian distance men. All three events were successful and ficlds of about thirty started ni each. The dominion has always been regarded highly because of the fine calibre of distance :wmen produced here. \ Sherring the Fioneer Canadians have always shown up well in International competition Sherring of Hamilton brought the world's marathon championship to Canada by winning the Olympic marathon in 1906. Representatives of this country have dome exceed- irgly well in the Boston marathon, seven Canadians having won the American classic as follows: Mac- Donald in 1898, Jack Caffrey in 1600 and 1901, Tom Longboat in 1907, Fred Cameron in 1910, Jim Duffy in 1914, Ed. Fabre in 1915. John Miles in 1926. Jim' Corkery, after winming the Hamilton Spectator in 1912, went to England and captured the fam- ous Polytechnic marathon in record time. Jim Duffy won both the Bos- ton and Yonkers marathons in 1914. He also ran fifth for Can- ada in the Stockholm Olympic marathon in 1912. Canada did well in the 1908 Olympicm arathon at London with Wood, Lawson and Simpson finish- ing in the first seven. A great Canadian marathoner whose name is seldom heard these days was Dan Sheridan who ran second twice in the Yonkers marathon, Bricker and Mites While the old-time marathon stars brought much glory to this country, the present crop of run- 'ners bid fair to outstrip them, | Last year Johnny Miles won the Boston marathon in the best time ever made over the famous course, Cliff Bricker won the Buffalo marathon and Percy Wyer raced through a blinding snowstorm to win the Detroit marathon. Three big Yankee marathon races for Canadianes to win in a little over a year, certainly made the experts sit up and take notice. Other Canadians who have done {well in Yapkee and Canadian mara- thons are :Bob May, who was fifth in Detri last year and who has a very sof average over a series of (runs. Frank Hughes who has also 'made good time in several U. 8. marathons, Billy Reynolds, who was eleventh in Boston and sixth at Buffalo; Ed. Fabre, sixth at Boston this year; Orville Garbutt, third at Detroit; Charlie Morton also has a few good marathons to his credit. Canada is to make a bid for the Olympic marathon, which, by the way, is less than eight months away. Two runners have already bee npicked, Bricker of Galt and Webster of the Hamilton Olympic club. Bricker has won two imara- thons out of three that he has competed in. He 1s regarded as Canada's best hope. Webster has competed in only one marathon, and it is hardly likely that he will attempt another. till he gets over the pond. It is expected, however, that he will reproduce the form he showed in the trial. Canada is to have four runners in the Olympic marathon next year. and in addition to Bricker and Wedster, the other two will be picked from Percy Wyer, Johnny Miles, Billy Reynolds, Orville Gar- R. [butt and Jobn Cuthbert. rnd -- -- "What! You take back your con- fession--but yesterday you admitted your guilt---" "Yes, but my counsel has conyin- ced me.of my innocence." .
