BUNT 39} Simcoe St. North ERNEST SHEPLEY v The History of The Mann Cup Toronto, Sept. 13. --Qshawa has been out to the Pacific coast for a bauble that has been jump- ing to and fro across this vast Dominion since the year 1910 when it was first won by. Young Toronto. The elusive gonfalon is none other than the Mann cup, emblem- atic of the amateur lacrosse champion- ship of Canada. The records, and for these we rely on Dan McKenzie, one of the game's great- est workers, reveal that the trophy has sojourned more on the sunny slopes of the Pacific than in what the westerners call "the ice-bound east.' Dan McKenzie is a Nova Scotian who went west to make his mark and who ac- complished this by the retail sale of cig- arettes, tobacco and candies. He is one of the financial sport wizards of the west and is so much to the fore that when New Westminster lands a lacrosse cup Dan is the boy who has the pleasure of gazing up- on it every day on his sideboard. McKenzie was the person who . BY WILLIS ENTWISTLE (Special to The Times--Copy right, 1929) about a piece of sil- verware that has been little or nothing more ~The Mann Cup often than it has been really something. After Young To- ronto had annexed it in 1910 the Mann cup went west for the first time and for the years 1911, 12, 13 and 14 was held by the Van- couver Athletic Club. This was the club that possessed such rising stars as Dot Crookall, Bay Carter, Angy McDonald and Me- Laren, players who afterwards made their mark in Minto cup lacrosse when the late Con Jones decided to augment these young amateurs by maasto- dons from the east in an effort to wrest the professional cup from New Westminster. East Steps in The next four were war years and New Westminster held the Mann cup in 1915, 16 and 17. Cough- lans, a shipbuilding organization, and having a team com- posed of players who were toiling on muni- tions, captured the cup in, 1918. Foundation of Vic- toria took possession of the elusive cup in kept a watchful eye on the Mann cup all through those years just after the great war when, for all the east might have known or thought about it, it was an orna- ment for flowers. Went West in 1911 It was Dan McKenzie who started the move to re- establish championship play for the Mann cup, and so we can safely say that he knows as much as anybody 1919 and then it went back to New Westminster, there to remain until the end of 1925 when it was sent east for competition and was won by Weston. : Up until 1926 the Mann cup for years had been but the semblance of a championship trophy. New Westminster had it and every year other coast teams tried to get it, but for others outside British Columbia it was just a memory.
