To bring back the Mann Cup, that many lacrosse enthusiasts thought was securely locked up in Western Canada, was a wonderful feat. The play of the Oshawa team in the finals and throughout the season was clean and of the hrgh- est possible type, and undoubtedly the fine manner in which this and 'he other lacrosse teams of the city have conducted themselves, will increase the popularity of this, the finest, cleanest and healthiest of sports, "I have been pleased to note re- cently that lacrosse is getting back to the position it was in when I was a boy, when lacrosse was lacrosse, and the ambition of every boy in Oshawa was to be a good lacrosse player. Dan McCarthy, probably the greatest lacrosse player the world has ever seen, hailed from Oshawa, and he was the object of every Hoy's hero worship in my boyhood. I am very pleased to see Oshawa reoming again a real lacrosse cen- tre." R. S. McLAUGHLIN, President, General Motors of Canada, Lua. Dr. T. E. Kaiser, M.P.

E, KAISER, M.P, I have followed with a great deal of interest the triumphant march of the General Motors La- crosse Club of Oshawa across tho| continent of America from coast to coast throughout the Dominion of Canada. Their universal success under all circumstances and try- ing conditions was a striking trib- uate to the ingenuity, genius, en- durance, and skill of the kind of man which' is developed within the city of Oshawa. I have just returned from a trip east as far as Ottawa and through various parts of the province of Ontario, and while formerly my friends throughout the country when meeting. them, . would im- mediately 'ask as to the condition of the motor industry in the city of Oshawa, but in my recent trip the first inquiry and the first con- gratulations that I received were in regard to the glorious victory of the General Motors Lacrosse Club. It is only fitting to say that while they have covered them- selves with glory and distinction, some part in message: to discipline which made it possible. the more sincere because we know that they represent the thoughts of every citizen, and echo the unspoken thoughts of the thousands of people who will be unable to congratulate the team personally, but who wish to have the celebration of the great victory. To the members of the General Motors Lacrosse Team, we have one great The City of Oshawa is proud of you. You have brought credit to your- selves, to the organization you represent, and to the City of Oshawa by your splendid achievement, and by the skill, the training and the strict attention To travel across the continent and bring back the coveted championship places you in the ranks of Canada's outstanding athletes, and we, as citizens, are privileged to share in the glory, which you have brought to the community. Oshawa, the city whose name you have carried to honorable victory, gives you a royal welcome home, and, in doing so, we, as representatives of the people, express the hope that you may yet stand together and bring even greater honors to the community which, this evening, welcomes you home as conquering heroes.

CONGRATULATIONS (From the Mail and Empire) Congratulations to the General Mo- tors lacrosge team of Oshawa on its great victory in the Mann cup finals. Few eastern teams, if any, have ever been able to beat the Salmon Bellies on their own grounds; so, therefore, the victory is all the more commend- able. Weston, should have beaten them to qualify for the Olympics, but the suburbanites were outlucked, in- juries obtained in Winnipeg reducing their strength. On the General Mo tors team are several former Weston- ites, and they have not forgotten about the lcss of the trip to Amster- dam. This is only the second year for General Motors in senior lacrosse and their record can't be surpassed anywhere. 'A year ago they won the senior championship, and then ant only repeated again this year, but al- so captured the highest lacrosse hon- ors in 2, termediate and then to Senior the name of the town was kept before the sporting public. As Secretary- Treasurer of the Club I was actively interested in the game and the suc- cess of the Club. Today, as one who was so actively interested in those years, I am rejoiced to know that the Senior Lacrosse team of the City of Oshawa, made possible through the aid and generosity of General Motors, has carried off the highest honors in the Canadian Lacrosse World, and has brought to Ontario and the City of Oshawa, the covet- ed 'Mann Cup. I congratulate the young men of the team, who by adhering to disci- pline and enduring hard training have been able to accomplish so much | and do honor to themselves. I wish for each and all of them the same success through life. I congratulate (General Motors on their public spirit in their generous = support of the team. The winners of the Mann Cup have added to the name of Oshawa an additional glory. Whenever dis- tinction comes to an organization or a citizen or group of citizens of Ogh- awa, we arc proud, and know that cach of such events gives us a larger place in the life of the country. W. E. and their City. W. E. N. SINCLAIR, M.P.P. for South Ontario. N. SINCLAIR, K.C, M.P.P. Mayor T. B. Mitchell Sends : Message of Greeting To The Dominion Champions This year more than any other Oshawa has played a large part in the sporting life of the world and through this part the city has rapidly become a respected quality when they field a team, and that means in any line of sport.
