The American League also decid- ed to ignore the minor league draft meeting at West Baden, Ind, Jan, 10, because they felt that no new solution to the draft problem nad been offered by the minor leaguers in the meeting at Toronto .ast week, - Not an American League club owner or manager could be found who was in favor of the drastic change in the rules suggested by the National League Executive. Ernest 8. Barnard, President of the American League, said: "The proposed change would not prove pgactical, The rules as they stand are benefiting the game, and I am not in favor of any drastic change that would revolutionize the sport." The managers were inclined to treat the suggestion facetiously. Most of the deliberation of the American League club owners to- day was routine, of little inter- est to the baseball pubife. Frank J. Navin, ' President of the Detroit Club, was re-elected Vice-President of the league, with the Presidents of the Philadelphia, Washington, St. Louis and Detroit Clubs constituting the new Board of Directors. Each of the Ten Bouts Pro- vides a Well-matched Pair of Fistic Artists -- Willie Ferguson, St. Catharines, and Many Boys from To. ronto Here --Jimmie Leo- nard Meets Ray Stevenson Ten bouts of beautiful boxing and fancy fighting for fans of this city are on the cards for tonight, St, Catharines, St, Agnes Club of Toronto, Classics club, also of the Queen City, St, James Club, To- ronto, and the Ontario Regiment and Parkwood clubs of this city are all contributing their quota of number one scrappers Jimmy Leonard is slated to meet. Ray Stevenson, of St, James club, JToronto, who has recently been hoxing in St. Catharines and comes to Oshawa from Buffalo, Ray will be known here, as he spent some time last year in this city, He will no doubt give Jimmy a good scrap, which is, of course, what's wanted. The main bout is that between Willie Ferguson, St. Catharines, champion of Ontario in the 112 pound class, and Scotty Adair, of Parkwood club here, An interesting sidelight on Scotty is the fact that he was selected to represent On- tario at Buffalo in the fights there this week, He will be back in time to box here tonight, though. Adair gave Ferguson a merry chase for the Ontario title last year, and this match tonight is going to be a real one, The cauliflower derby opens at the usual time, 8.15, but rush seats are being placed on sale half an hour earlier, than usual, at 7.45. This move will be fully appreciated by the fans. The reserved seat sale has been going strong, and, al- though there were still a few left this morning, it was expected that they would be pretty well cleaned up before the gong rings tonight, The final 'arrangement of the card, giving the bouts in order, is: Bill Bellingham, Ont. Regt., vs, Frenchy Bellanger, Ont, Regt., at 100 pounds. Steve Minacs, Ont, Regt. vs. Sam Lapina, Ont, Regt., at 126 pounds Jack Goodall, Ont.

They allege that the ballot boxes were tampered with after being plac- ed in the City Hall between election day and the day of recount, last Monday. Made J. A. Maclones, acting for Alder- man Brewer, says that the protest proceedings will take place at as early a date as possible, probably in about ten days. Some of the allega- tions made about the conditions, which will be aired at the protest proceedings, include ballot switching and impersonation. FOSSILS FROM SAULT ' 70 BE SENT T0 TORONTO Sault Ste. Marie, Ont, Dec. 13. --Several more fossil specimens showing vertebrae of prehistoric animals and one very interesting specimen showing strange aguatic growth, all found mear Hilton Beach. on St. Joe Island, were brought to the Soo today and are crea'ing much interest here.

POLICY OF BY ONTARIO OFFICERS IS LIKELY NEXT YEAR Tororfo, Dec. 13.--Legislation providing for the policing of coun- ties by the Ontario Proviucial Police under General Victor Wil- the next session of the Legislature. Attorney-General Price stated last might that a great deal of data regarding such a sysiem had been collected by his department of late, and, aithough mo legislation had been framed or policy outlined as yet, he hoped to bring down an act at the session which will open the last week in January. This legislation will be permis- sive in form. The Government, Colonel Price emphasized last might, desires to approach the gques- tion on a basis of co-operation rather than of coercion. "Anything for better round." At the present time the Northern Ontario disiricts and one or two counties are furnished "Jaw and order" by the Provincial force. Re- suits of the arrangement have been so satisfactory. that many other municipalities, it is said, would avail themselves of the scheme if offered it. In time, it is felt, all law enforcement all liams is likely to be introduced at | TORONTO SKATER. SETS WORLD MARK Lela Brooks Potter Shatters Mile Record at Detroit Yesterday Detroit, Dee, 13--Lela Brooks-Pot- ter of the Parkdale Club of Toronto last night established a new world record for the mile indoor when she chased around the 14-lap course here in 3 minutes 13 4-5 seconds, better- ing by six seconds the former record set by Elsie"Muller of New York at Pittsburg on rch 7, 1925, ; Mrs, Potter further distinguished herself by taking all three events on the program, the 440 yards, the B80 yards and the mile, Though skating for the first time this season in com- petition, Mrs, Potter raced as pret- tily as' at any time in her career, Margaret McBride of the Toronto Skating Club set a fast pace.

London Blanked 6-0 by Kitchener London, Dec. 13. -- Kitchener blanked London by 6 to 0 in a Canadian Professional Hockey League game staged before a crowd of more than 3,000 spectators at the London arena last night, and stattgred London's record for con- tinuous victories on their home ice, The victory gave Ktchener undisputed p fon of d place. It was a hectic game. cram~ med full of excitement from start to finish seventeen minor penal- ties and one major were handed out. . The Kitchener forwards played clever hockey, with Earl Miller and Pete.

He was given good protection by the defence, McFarlane, Berlett and Savage, all husky players handed out bodychecks which had a telling effect on the London front line men. Two for Kitchener Kitchener scored two goals in the openiag period, ore in the sec- ond and three in the final session. In the second and third periods there was a continual parade to the penalty box. The speedy Kitchen- er forwards played a free passing game in centre ice and completes several clever pays. London play- ed below their usual form. The team plays by the forwards were missing, while the defense men failed to provide Goalkeeper Irom- stone with the necessary protection. At times Kitchener skated in close to the London nets hecked Earl Miller, star centre player for the wisitors, was ome of the most effective players on the fice. i He scored two goals snd gave ah assist for another. The former Saskatchewan player, who is now owned by the Chicago Black Hawks, has speed and size. George Hill- er and Alfie Skinner, veteran hock- ey players, worked well on the sub- stitute forward fine. i Always Effective Kitchener played more effective hockey against London tonight than they did in Kitchener earlier in Old-time rivalry prevailed and the game re- minded the hockey followers of the Sxcining sessions of the past ay tween London Strat- ford clubs.

Tobin, business manager of the Chi-Hawks has surely thrown a monkey-wrench into the Regina a' .ateur hopes, so far as their star, Harold "Mush" March is concern- ed. Amateur players find it hard to forget the brilliant display. this junior star gave the boys in the Memorial Cup play-offs in the Queen City last spring. March's stick-handling was supreme against the Ottuwa Gunners. When he sneaked around behind the net, and with a back-hand shot flashed the rubber between the Ottawa Gun- ner's pads, he brought the fans to their feet with one of the most sen- sational bits of hockey ever exhibit- ed in the Arena Gardens. : According to the Chicago Black Hawk's representative, March will gv into big company for one of the highest prices ever given anyone \ jumping directly into the national | GOALKEEPER ON A BACK RIVE 1S AN INCIDENT NEVER 0 BE FORGOTTEN MEMORIAL CUR PLAY-OFFS hockey league, and according to Mr, Tobin, this includes the recent deal made by the Montreal Maroon's for Dave Trottier, the much-heralded, and most sought after player in the Canadian amateur world to-day. The signing of March with Chi- cago puts the cap on a score of offers which have been made for what is probably Western Canada's most brilliant hockey star. It also puts the skids under the Regina Monarch's hopes so far as this goal- getting ace is concerned this sea- son. A great deal of interest has been displayed in this deal in the east, as no doub. before the season grows much older, March will be holding a regular berth on the Chicago team. March is more than happy with the situation and is anxious to be down on the big noise to see how he can actually stand up against the best hockey talent in the world. W.-W. TECH TEAM WINS ESSEX COUNTY TITLE Windsor, Dec. 13--With three goals-- one to each period--Windsor- Walkerville Technical School junior hockey team broke a tie that ran through two hard-fought games and won the Charles S. King Cup, em- blematic of the Essex County cham- pionship from the Riverside Blue- birds who scored a single goal. The Tech youngster's win tonight is largely due to the work of Teno in goal, although Dilamarter, the net-minder for the Riverside team was mot far behind his rival in his display of good hockey. Play throughout the encounter was close and the work of the Tech team during the last period was charac- terized by a periect display of the defense, the puck being in Tech's territory almost' continuously, but never near the goal The teams had to play three games 10 settle the championship. The first was a 2 to 2 tie and the second a goalless tie. They will meet again at the Arena on Tuesday night, when they will play their first fixture in the O.H.A. junior series. This series opens on Friday night, with the Chicklets meeting the Monarchs, and will conclude on' Feb. 4, when the play-off winners will be ready to meet winners from other OHA. junior groups.

Their i join trial was set for Janmary 10. Tonight's the might. Plenty of good seats "are avail- | able at the reserve seat door. Effort was made to get a top- notch boy from Buffalo--to meet Leonard. Wires were also sent out to Hamilton and St. Kitts, but uaiess the Buffalo boy is mnavail- able, Leonard will meet Stevenson as announced. It is possible that the Buffalo boy will be on hand. Rush seats go on sale at both morth doors at 7.45 sharp--with plenty of seats available. There are tem well matched bouts, with every one-scheduled as a crowd pleaser. CELTIC TURNED OVER TO THE SALVAGERS Cobh, Irish Free State, Dec. 13. --The liner Celtic was turned over to salvagers today and the skele- ton crew which has remained aboard the vessel since she ran on the "cow and calf" rocks on the entrance of Cork harbor on Mon- day morning was withdrawn. Two salvage wessels moored alongside the Celtic and started a rush job of removing her cargo of wheat, apples and other farm pro- ducts. Fear for the return of bad weather spurred the workers. The salvaging of the cargo is fur- mishing employment to 109 men of Cobh. In this respect the mishap has proved a benefit to this com- munity, particularly in view of the approach of Christmas, which promised to be gloomy in the homes 'of some of the workmen. LATE JUSTICE FERGUSON LEAVES ESTATE OF $197,000 Toronto, Dec. 3.--An estate of $197.609 was left by tue late Mr. Justice W. N. Ferguson, it was revealed yesterday when the will was filed for probate.

SERIES Entering Intermediate Com. petition This Year With Good Sexette Oshawa Simcoes, who are this year breaking into the Intermediate OHA, arena, are gathering together a likely looking bunch of youngsters that promise a stirring time in their group , They eyen suggest that they may go farther than their group and one can never tell, ) The Simcoes, it will be remember- ed, carried off the Oshawa Daily Times trophy, emblematic of the city championship, last year, and they have formed a habit of getting pretty nearly anything they have gone af- ter in the last Ai years, This sea- son they have attached their lizzie to a comet and are endeavoring to outshine all competitors in the .inter- mediate section of the O.H.A., in- cluding their home town opposition, the Oshawa Intermediates, The Simcoes met Tuesday evening, and signed up enough players to make a couple of sextettes, and they say there are more to come still, So there should be lots of material from which to choose a regular team, with a bus-load of spares besides. Among the old timers who are turning out this year, are the six boys that played regular positions on last year's city championship team. Ken Prior, gaolie on the last season's line-up, has been with the team three years, and has a good record in city hockey. Everett Pe- terson also has a three-year record, and played defence last year. Frank "Huck" Balsam, also a defence man, Frank Black, who has played centre, and Reg. Burr and Ted Jackson, on the forward line, are the other standbyes, Among the new acquisitions this year is "Mac" McGrath, who play- ed with the Orangeville intermediate O.H.A. team and was this year with the champion General Motors senior lacrosse team, Clayton "Cy" Neal, who came from Havelock two years ago and played last year for G.M.C. service in the city industrial league, is a real net guardian. Bryce Reeves, who hails from South Oshawa, play eded with the Buicks, and Les. At- kinson, who has played with the Oshawa juniors in O.H.A. competi- tion and for Anglicans and Oshawa Railway in city hockey, is also lin- ing up with Simcoes, Several other players are also signing with the team. Walt. Fair is coaching the team this year, and started the boys off on the right foot Tuesday might by outlining the course of training that will be fol- lowed. The team decided to play in its old colors, black and white, and will use Bowmanville ice as its home berth. OATMAN WILL PLAY FOR PATRICK AGAIN Montreal, Dec. 13..Russell Oat- man, relief left-wing player of the Montreal Maroons, has been sold to the New York Rangers, and will be in 2a Ranger uniform when the world's champions play the Cana- diens here tomorrow night. The deal which sends the former Wes- terner to the Patrick team was com- pleted today, and Oatman remained in Montreal tonight, while the Maroons took the train for New saw pcesibilities | SPORT SNAPSHOTS How're prospécts for city hockey this winter? Oshawa is being well represented by a junior and two intermediate teams in the 0. H, A, se! little local Raley , but it will_soon be time, we would judge, to think about a The comeback is, of course, "Where's the ice?' We'll bite--where's the ice? Since the now famous artificial jce hockey rink proposition has once more failed to materialize, the pros- pects for She national winter sport in the Motor City aren't what they used to was, Off and on, and on and off, more or less, we've heard it rumored that one, or two, or maybe more, open air natural ice palaces would be provided, One scheme which came to a head, to use city property between Bagot and Metcalfe streets, for the location of a good-sized rink, was nipped in the bud when the council pointed out, gently but firmly, that this had previously been set aside as a parking space. So that's that, No doubt, however, someone, somewhere is going to provide a public open-air skating rink large enough to play hockey on, ¢ 'We admit that it isn't the nicest thing in the world to watch hockey games with just open-air rink accommodation. However, if such a rink is provided, and a city hockey league plays its games there, the matches should draw a fair following, for all 0, H A, games will be played out- side of Oshawa this season, As far as next season is concerned--we can only hope! Just to touch another angle, prospects seem pretty good for Oshawa in this year's O, H. A, competition, even though the local teams' "home" games will be played out of town. ! With two inter: go a long way in : .iate teams in the running, the Motor City should s department of the Ontarig competition. The juniors will also be uo mean contenders for recognition, Of course we admit that the Oshawa Intermediates have the exper- fence. But Simcoes are gathering a likely looking bunch of youngsters, and will make things hum around *eir circuit, And, don't forget the achievements of this city this year, in the rugby and lacrosse fields where teams won Ontario Championships in their first year of conten- tion, before you throw Simcoes to the discard. The record of the Oshawa Intermediates isn't to be sneezed at, though. They are getting busy, too, with an ice practice this Saturday. As we have casually mentioned before, there is a faint noise as if ~ of action at the Armories to-night. There will be plenty of action in the ten bouts being served up, and, as one might say, the event will have lots of punch to it, A glance over the final card will convince any fight fan of that fact, The attendance is expected to be a record one, York, where they play the Ameri- cans tomorrow might. Oatman came to the East four years ago, after the break-up of the Western Canada League. He was a member of the old Victoria team which was piloted by Lester Patrick so that Oatman, in going to the Rangers, will be playing again under his former tutor. It was when Victoria played Mar- oons for the Stanley Cup in the spring of 1926 that Manager Gerard player went to Detroit in the Wes- tern League shake-up, Maroons buying him from the Cougars. in Oatman. The! AN ARENA FOR MADOC Belleville, Dec. 13--At a well at- tended citizens' meeting of Madoc it was decided to build a covered rink.
