WILLOWDALE Percy Williams Wins First of Indoor Races Vancouver Flash Trails at Halfway Mark in 40-yard Final After Poor Start, But Passes Opposition to Win By Two Feet -- Jim- my Ball, Caught in Jam, Fourth in 600.yard Race --Edwards and Pickard of Canadian Olympic Team Take Second Places -- Nurmi Again Victorious Boston, Feb, 8,--Percy Willlams, the young man from Vancouver who captured two sprints for Can- ada in the Olympic Games last year, began his invasion of the United States last night with an impressive victory in the 40-yard dash at the Boston A.A's fortieth annual meet, Williams beat an ex- ceptionally fast field without much difficulty, His triumph was the more astounding and devastating from the view of his United States rivals since it was his first start at such a short distance on a board track and indoors, Williams' time in the final was 4 4-b seconds, two-fifths of a sec- ond slower than the world's indoor mark, He had a poor get-away compared with his starts in the first two heats, and halfway down the track was away behind, but with characteristic dash he, produc- ed a streaming swiftness that car- ried him forward in the brief 20 yards, and finishetl with plenty of light between him and the second place runner, Karl Wildermuth of Dartmouth University, Williams' time in the final of his race was one-fifth of a second slower than that of the first heat. Students of the track, after watch- ing the Canadian's performance, expressed the opinion that famil- jarity with conditions would en- able him to break the world's rec- ord, or at least tie it, perhaps dur- ing his present tour of the Eastern United States tracks. At the very commencenrent of his running on this side of the line Williams got away like a tornado and, his famons legs eating up the yards in a manner that caused the eyes of experts to protrude, had small difficulty in annexing the heat in 4 3-5 seconds. In the semi-final heat his start was not quite so good. He may have saved himself a little, finish- ing second to Linwood Pattee of Boston University. The final had such athletes as Pattee, Chet Bowman of Newark, and George Morin of Holy Cross on their marks with the Canadian flier. 'The field was off ahead of Williams, and at the haliway mark he was trailing by a yard Wildes- muth and Daley. Then the Vancouver legs began to function again and the Western- er breezed past them both five yards from the tape to break it two feet ahead of the Georgetown sprinter, Edwards Second Phil Edwards, the Canadian mid- dle-distance star, was forced to take 2nd place in the 1,000 yd. special, which was won by 8S. H. Martin of Edwards partially made up his prestige again by lead- ing the New York University quar- tet to vietory in the one mile relay. The tire was 3.31 1-5. Running at a new distance, 600 yards, and under conditions with which he was not familiar, Jimmy Ball, Winnipeg's Olympic star, was caught in the jam . at the first turn, and, trying to adjust his stride to the short turns on the board track, could not recover. He finished fourth in an exceptionally fast field. The race was won by Bernie Me- Cafferty of Holy Cross University in 1.44 2-5. Fred Veit of New York University was second and Oliver Proudlock, Newark A.C. third. Ball was about tem yards behind Proudlock. The Canadian supporters are con- fident that when he has become ac- customed to the indoor running conditions and the distance, he will - HOCKEY RECORDS NATIONAL HOCKEY LEAGUE Canadiens ,,.1 Ottawa ,,..,.0 Montreal ,,,,0 Pittsburg ,,,.0 Toronto ,,,,+8 Boston Rangers ,,...3 Chicago 44.2 xToronto ,,,,8 Americans ,%..Q UANADIAN LEAGUE xDetroit ,,,, 7 Hamilton x Played Sunday, O HA, Senior St. Michael's 4 Queen's ,,,,.,.2 Junior xWest Toronto 4 Young Rang, 2 N.

It was a fierce melee that the teams put on for the edification of some 11,000 fans and just as the bell sounded the knell of American hopes in this encounter, Andy Blair and Conacher staged a fistic en- gagement that had the Gardens in an uproar, The feud started in the second period when Conacher jabbed Blair and the boy from Winnipeg hit back in a hurry, The Americans were leading at the time, hut "Babe" Dye drew a major for crogs-checking Pettinger and away went Bailey with two lightning fast goals and the victory. Bailey Scores Two Conacher, star of the Americans, was badly missed, and Billy Burch, who tried to fill the breach on the defense during Conacher"s absence, 'was astounded when Bailey, racing in at top speed, deftly stickhandled his way to the goalmouth and shot the rubber past Worters, An ap- preciative crowd gave him thun- -derous' applause, but the cheering had only got well under way when Bailey made another thrilling rush and pelted the puck into the twine It was the goal that won the game, It broke down the Ams#ri- can's usual canny and careful de- fense and forced them to attack.

OF T. DEFEATS ~ McGILL TEAM 6 TO 1 University of Toronw wontons' once more have a stranglehold on the Intercollegiate hockey series, The Jack Porter squad bumped to a «decisive win over McGill on Sat- urday afternoon at the U. of T. arena, scoring six goals to one of their opponents from Montreal. The game was a mixture of every- thing. Fair hockey, fights and some flashes of good hockey were mixed, and the result was a wild game of shinny. The blue and white team was the better one by far and the six goals scored would have been at least tem with any ordinary goalkeeping. Maurice Powers, minding the net for Mec- | Gill, was the sensaton of the after- noon, stopping drive after drive, and in the first period only one whizzed past him out of 22 direct- ed his way. The scoring was well distributed throughout the team, with Bruce Paul. the leading blue sniper, with two goals, while Whitehead, Stewart, Harley and McMullen counted one apiece. The | only red and white puncture of | Murray Sayder's citadel came in 'the second period when Farquhar- son went in on the net alone to count when both Mel Harley and Bruce Paul were warming the pen- alty bench The first period was one of the | most hectic seen in a long time. "Red" Porter's sextet started off with thrust after thrust on the Mc- Gill net but the rather crude check- ing of the Montrealers broke up the smooth team play of the blue squad, and before long they had the U. of T. six missing passes RR - Second Floor, Curtain i9c Fine Net Scrim with colored border.

The game was virtually decided in the frst period, when the De- | troiters scored four goals, without a reply. Goodfellow ana Belle- | feuille combined for the first score less than two minutes after start.

RELIEF IN FREIGHT | ON COAL FOR EXPORT | IN BRITISH HOUSE London, Feb 4--The coal problem ever-present . has again cropped up in discussions in the House of Commons. A number of Labor members charged that under the provisions of the 1 ill, now before the House, in giving freight relief to export coal, the Govern- ment was subsidizing manufacturers "It 3s a gram joke" said Miss Ellen Wilkinson (Labor, Maiddles- brough East), "that after the Prince of Wales' visit to the coal fields and his comments on conditions there, the House of Commons should be proposing the subsidizing of our foreign competitors." Sir Philip Cunliffe-Lister, president of the Board of Trade, replied that to distribute freight relief over all coal. Strong representations had been received fgom the mining in- dustry, however, that to spread re- lief over all coal would be to give relatively little benefit. It was there- fore decided to concentrate freight relief on coal for cxport and coal for the irom and steel works, which were the biggest consumers. .

"Doc" Lindsay, form- er Quuen's star who started at cen- tre for St. Michael's proved a valu- able addition to the team, and his work in the pivot position was highly pleasing. A fast skater and capable poke-check, Lindsay proved an obstacle in the way of many determined rushes on the part of Queen's. When Lindsay was not at the centre pos'tion Gar- vie occupied the role to every- body's satisfaction. Delahey, "Jimmy" Sullivan and "Fat" Ir- vine were also prominent, Sullivan in particular, turning in an effec- tive performance and keep'ng off the score sheet only through some remarkable stops by Quinn, in the They are expecting support from the whole town and if you own a car, offer to drive your nei~hbor up.

The second period was more evenly fought, while in the final session the Senators looked somewhat bet- ter offensively as they opened up in an attempt to get a goal and get back into the runming. In this session, however, they met stout opposition from a well-knit Can- uck defense, and were unable to penetrate. The Ottawa defense during the first 20 minutes had a busy time attempting to check the speedy and tricky ounslaughts, but the pressure finally told, and Joliat scored to put his team in fromt, where they stayed until the final bell. The game marked the ninth shut- out scored by George Hainsworth, Canuck goalkeeepr, in the last six- teen games. Canadiens have now lost only ome game in their last sixteen starts, having won 'eight and tied seven. Ottawa--Goal, Connell; defense, Clancy, Smith; cemtre, Touhey; wings Kilrea, Finnegan.

He will leave Victoria at the end of the month en route to New York and will stop over at Toronto to obtain necessary equipment, Great is Percy Williams, Even his closest friends were not predicting a victory for him Saturday night at Boston, but a champion can run in any kind of ging and the modest athlete from Vancouver startled the Boston public just like he did those at Amsterdam last summer. True, he should have been penalized for his false breaks in the qualifying heats, but the Hoston starter was more lenient than the one at Amsterdam, as Myrtle Cook can testify, In the final there were no false breaks, and while Percy did not break as fast as usual, yet he was the class of his field, for he came from behind to win, Percy Williams' next appearance will be in the Millrose games at New York next Saturday, where he will be called upon to meet such men as Bob McAllister, Bowman, Daley, Wildermuth and Ed.
