During the ;war, Connell, who was stationed with the artillery at Barrietield; and who 'was. just out of short pants, was induced to workout with the Kingston Fron- tenac Junior O.H.A. team. A friend of Conmnell's, who had to have his little joke had told the manager of the team that he had a fine goalkeeper in tow from Ottawa. Alex, had never played hockey before and never tended goal, and had no particular am- bitions that way, tho he was yast- ly interested in the game. His sport was lacrosse, and %e played a fine game at outside home for the Ottawa Maple Leafs before joining the artillery, and after he returned to civilian life, Connell Keeps up Joke Anyway, as a joke and beeause it afforded some relief from the monotony of camp life, Connell joined in the kidding and went out to practice, He wasn't a very good skater at the time, and af- ter he had propped himself against the posts his humorous friends got behind the nets to turn a barrage in his direction when he started to whiff on long and short shots. But Alex amazed everybody by turning loose a great game that night, and when the manager rush- ed up and signed him to a form to play in the O.H.A, he was flab- bergasted and protested that he was not a goalkeeper and never | had played the game. | The manager, of course, put it down to modesty and wouldn't | hear .of his not staying with the teanr. Anyway, Connell decided ro go 'through with it, particularly ap the team coach could exert enough influence to get him out to practice and away to games, Made Debut in Cornwall He made his debut in Cornwall in a junior O.H.A, game and was a sensation, and till his unit was | moved he played goal and was gl 808d that the manager had himself intérviewed in the Kingston Press on how he had discovered u great goal phenom, and never knew that | an eslarged sense of humor and | Alex's willingness to co-operate in | a joke, even if it 'turned: out on | himself, was the reason why he he- | came a goaltender. Your corres. pondent happened to be the refe- | ree that night in Cornwall and knows just how well Connell played, His next goalkeeping role was | with the Ottawa Wliffsides and! even then Connell couldn't he eons | vineed that he was out of the or- dinary. He took the affair as a| gue he went to minding the mesh in earnest. ing forwards and aimed to per- fect himself. His rise was rapid, as everybody knows, and seven vears after he first stood in front of a net he graduaied to big-time hockey and there is no better na- tured and no better goaltender in the league. His sense of humor has heen an unfailing source of delight to his teammates and in- timates, i The chance kidding remark of a | friend laid the foundation for a hockey fortune, although Alex Con. nell did not know iL at the time, HELEN WILLS TO TOUR EUROPE NEXT SEAR San Francisco, Cal, Dec. 14, -- Helen Wills, American and British tennis champion, will tour Europe next year as a member of a two- woman team officially representing the United States Lawn Tennis "As- sociation, This became known when Miss Wills telegraphed acceptance of the invitation extended by the na- tional tennis body.

The Whitby Hockey Club is holding a dance in the Town Hall there tomorrow night and the club respectfully invites its many Osh- awa and Bowmanville supporters to attend.

Tunney played Saint Nicholas in the city in which he took down $1,000,000 for trimming Jack Dempsey in a 40-minute job of work. The champion blossomed out as an after-dinner speaker by describing his battle with the "Man- assa Mauler." Covers were laid for more than 2,500 guests, : Returning the officers to power for another term certainly was the right move for the Oshawa City Football Club to make at its meeting held in the Y.M.C.A. last night, The men behind the guns, from the president down to the trainer, have all worked hard in an effort to put the Maroons at the top of the soccer ladder, At last they have suc- ceeded and it is only fitting that they be honored with acclamation, Their return will not, though, keep new material from helping the club and soccer fans should put their 'shoulders to the wheel and keep it going with another championship as goal. i Oshawa Collegiate's senior basketcers will entertain an interme- diate team from McMaster University here on the local floor next Mon- day afternoon, It will mark the opening of the local season despite the fact that it is only an exhibition fixture.

The American League usually outdraws the National, but the one-sided contest in the Barnard wheel last season resulted in decreased interest and consequent decrease in attendance. The race in the National in 1927 was one of the best in the history of major league baseball and every club-in the league is said to have made money, Fans even in second division towns, will turn out to see teams that are battling for the leadership, and for most of the race no fewer than four were in the Heydler flag conten- tion.

"Jus one week's rest," he added, "and I shall start training for my first real title defense against Leo Lomski in Madison Square Garden, and hen I want another match with Slattery as quickly as it can be arranged. Any ope .else who aepires to the title has only to come forward and ask for a chance to box, and I'll 'accommodate them," Louchran will debate the ques- tion of who won last night's thrill- ing 15-round tussle in the garden with his fists alone, While a roundup of expert pugilistic opin- ion granted Tommy 2 clear mar- gin of victory at struggle, Loughran was uninter- ested in the cogroversy, to state his side of the argument again under the calcium lights in the garden at 175 pounds at 3 o'clock of the day chosen.
