Galt, March 26-The curtain was rung down on hockey in Wes tern Ontario here last night when Guelph, in the fourth game of the Canadian League play-offs, defeat ed Galt 7-4, to give them their third victory In a week and the championship, While the Leafs were much the better team in to- night's game, nevertheless the out como was In doubt until the last two minutes, when with the Galt players wearing themselves out in trying to get the tylng counter, ware osught off thelr guard and the visitors ran in two goals in nine seconds to make thelr victory secure, 'The largest crowd that has witnessed a league game this winter, 2,600, saw a grest battle, a repetition of the three previous games. Guelph sent down a con tingent of 600 rooters hy special train, the late arrival of which de- layed: the start until 9 o'clock.

This was adsired when Jim Dunn, Vice-president of the Leafs, and Manager O'Neill pald a visit to Frank Navin, owner of the De. troit Tigers, this evening. The coming of Barnes and Prudhomme practically guapantes ed the Toronto Club a pitching corps second to none in the Inter national League. Barnes was just beginning to come at the tail end of the 1029 senson, and the fact that the Detroit Club received sevs oral handsome offers for the southpaw by major league alobs rather indicates the high value placed on his ability, It i» on the cards that Joe Sams uels also will be turned back to the Toronto elub, though such a thing ix not likely to happen he- fore the International season opens. If Samuels returns and shows the same pitehing worth he did last season the Leafs should be in the thick of the pennant fight from beginning to end, PIRATES IN CONDITION The Pittsburg Pirates are believed by Manager Jewel Ens to be in puch good shape for the National League race that he has cancelled further morning workouts at Onk- land, Calif, George Grantham's bat is looking bigger to the pitchers every time the second baseman comes up.
