But that has been mo hind- rance to the effeciency of the team as they have all been brought along in the various teams in the city leagues and have been able to esti- mate the playing ability and habits of their teammates to such an ex- tent that one would almost imagine that they played together for longer than two or three seasons. Indeed of the team that started out in 1927 known as the Maple Leafs, only one player remains on the present team, Don Cornish, the captain of the team, However this year's manager, "Chick" Jacobi, has been with Don since the days of the Maple Leafs in the capacity of man-~ ager, In order to get an idea of the development of the team it is ne- cessary to go back to 1927 when the Maple Leafs played in the City Industtial League Juvenile settion with Green and. White sweaters, That was really the inception of the present Mike's Place Juniors, That year the Cornish brothers, Don and Ed, together with "Johnny" Trott got together the money to enter the team. It is said that on the evening the entries were to close they sat on the sidewalk and aondered where the money was coming from, But by some means best known to themselves they entered the team, and: those who played were forced to purchase their own sweaters. That year with Harry Hester and later "Chick" Jacobi as manager the team won the juvenile title of the city but decided not to go further, They were in competition with the Eagles, Beavers and Lakeviews. In 1928 the team bore the same name but changed their colors to blue and red, but still continued in juvenile ranks, That year they were not as successful in the league and allowed the Eagles to take the title. Cardinals, Ukrainians and Beavers were also in the group. Jacobi was again manager of the team while D, Cornish, Lloyd Towns and Hall were among the players, In the same league were Trinity with Hurst and Knox playing, 1929 saw the boys playing under the colors of the Fittings and enter- ing the ranks as juniors for the first "New Martin | STARTS TODAY "A GAY Comedy "RACKETEERS" "Wild Life in the Veldt" FOX NEWS "SNOW TIME" Cartoon Comic | TODAY AND FRIDAY | Toronto Leafs Find Drill Hard St. Catharines, Oct. 22.--If Tuesday was limbering up day with Conny Smythe's Maple Leafs here, then Wednesday was hospital day and "Dr." Tim Daly, the man of the hour. The strenu- ous nature of the initial workout proved too much for the proteges of Coach Art Duncan and yester- day saw partial cripples easing down into the cushioned uphol- stery of the hostelry. Too ardent attention to outdoor pastimes un- der the warm sun of the Niagara district took its toll in the aching muscles of the squad and the rub- bing table was in exceptionally heavy demand, There wag no let up, however, in the daily grind and this morn- ing saw the 16 worthies forced in- to action at the pity sport park, where Overseer McKenzie placed everything in his power at their disposal, Rugby, where every. thing goes, with the snap even carrying the ball, British rugger and lacrosse were indulged in, the whole being topped off with mile track, Afternoon saw the double eights motor to Lookout Point golf course, where the hills and dales added much to the con- ditioning when the 18 holes were completed. time. That year the team played both juvenile and. junior and incid- entally won both sections, The team numbered among its members Hall, Towns, Hurst, Cornish and Knox, while Love did the catching with Leydon at first base, Goodall at second, Shelenkoff at short and Amsbury and Trott in the field, Af- ter winning the city honors the team entered the O.A.S.A. play-offs and eliminated Hamilton but fell be- fore Toronto Oke's, who went on to take the junior provincial title Some of the other mentbers of this year's team took part in the league play that year, namely, Peterson with King Street Tuxis, Whitely with Red Ace juveniles and H. Gay with the same team, Tt was in that vear that "Tommy" Toppings be- came scorer and publicity agent and his success has retained him ever since. In 1930 the boys cropped up with the Oshawa Bakery juniors and won the city championship in the junior series. That year the team eliminat- ed Kingston and Hamilton in that order but fell before Brantford in a thrilling three game series, Brant- ford winning at home by a 'score of Tt gr ra prs 5 to 1. The tables were reversed | here when Bakery won 3 to 1. The deciding game was played in Hamil- ton with Brantford winning the game and the round by 9 to 5. Again as in the year before the | team that put the Oshawa represen | tutives out was the one to win the | Ontario title, "Chick" Jacobi was again behind the team on the coaching lines while the team in yellow and black was composed: of Daniels and Gingeroski, catching; | Towns and Knox, pitching; Leyden and Aitkin, first base; Goodall, sec- ond; Cornish, short; Hall, third; Hurst, left field; Amsbury, centre | field; and Trott, right field. In that lineup is to be seen the nucleus of the 1931 team.

However, it is hoped that the teams will play an exhibition game here before breaking camp in Toronto for the commencement of the regular league season Prospects Good For Hamilton Hamilton, Oct. 22 -- While the Hamilton Hockey Club will hold a meeting here on Friday evening {or the purpose of discussing matters pertaining to the coming season, it has been ascertained that "Del" Hannigan, popular manager of the club last season, will again head the team this year, and that at least two members of the Patricia intermedi ates, Steve Conick and Ossie Ste- wart, will be carried with the Allaa Cup finalists, This, however, is con tingent upon the decision of the former, who has been approached with regard to playing hockey in Poland this winter, Conick is smart centre ice player and it is hoped here he will not harken to anv suggestions that will take him out of town. Injuries are Hard on Queens Kingston, Oct. 22.--With nine Queen's players feeling the effects of the game with Western Ontar- fo on Saturday, the senior team looked in rather crippled shape yesterday, but the prospects are that virtually all of them will be ready for the invasion of McGill here Saturday, and the Tricolor will enter the game favorites to win, Simmons, snap; Walker, side wing; Relist, flying Captain Gib McKelvey, Stanyar, inside -wing; Hamlin, middle wing; DeDiana, outside wing; El- liott, halfback, and Waugh, mid- dle wing, all have been on the injured list this week, though El- liott and Waugh have been out of action since the game with Var- sity. The result of the injuries is that Coach Batstone has not heen able to fleld the team he wanted to, and heavy scrimmage work had to be curtailed somewhat, Hamlin was on the gridiron for the first time this week, hut did not get into signal practice or the in- wing; keeping him ont of action, took the count in the Western the remainder of the fray.

Batstone is counting on send- ing the senlors and intermediates into a heavy scrimmage to-day, this practically completing their week's work. The intermediates are scheduled to meet Varsity here on Saturday morning and both teams will need the workout to-day. ford by 8 to 3, however, the return game here was another story and rantford came through with a well merited win by a score of 5 to 4. The deciding game was played in Hamilton and the local team trium- phed to the tune of 8 to 7 and elim- inated last year's title holders, Last Saturday the march toward a title for Oshawa was continued with a win over North Bay by a score of J to 2, in the northern town. Indeed the boys are looking for plenty of opposition in the game here on Saturday, but with a feeling of confidence inspired by their vic- tories so far this year they are of the opinion ,that North Bay are just another team and that they will win the game and junior provincial honors. : There is quite a marked differ- 'ence between the first team 'in 1927 and that of the present.

The tablet is the gift of Bailie Ninian Macwhannel, Glas- gow, and the unveiling ceremony was performed by Mrs. Muir, whose husband, Rev. James Muir, was instrumental in securing the whole property to be converted in- to a Burns ghrine and village mu- geum, opened in 1920. The origin al of "Souter Johnny"--"Tam lo'ed him like a very brither was John Davidson, and "Tam o' Shanter" is supposed to have been Douglas Graham of the farm of Shanter, near Kirwoswald, Coach Hughes Drives Tigers Hamilton, Oct, 22, -- Spitting out bitter sarcasm and cracking the whip without the slightest let up, Professor William Hughes drove his Tigers what he believed was another step towards victory over the Montreal Winged Wheel- ers on Saturday as the Big Four champions turned out complete again last night to stagger through a workout that lasted for more than two hours, Determined to confound the critics who already can see the Wheelers as champions of the union, Hughes is leaving nothing undone that the Bengals might win on Saturday and pave the way for their fifth consecutive' In- terprovincial title, On Field at 4 o'Clock At four o'clock in the after- noon the advance guard turned out, Before five o'clock every man on the squad was in uniform and loosening up in preparation for the hectic session that follow- ed. Not a man was overlooked ag Hughes sent the squad through kicking, tackling, passing and clipping practice and all worked into the formation drills, timing, ete., that followed right on. The wings plowed, pushed and resisted and then crashed repeat- edly opening interferences while the tanks and backs carried out line plays, end runs and tricky formations, Forward passing play- ed a big part in the workout and tacklers hit hard and true as they responded to Hughes' urging. Towards tha close of the ses- slon, only the enap and backs re- mained to finish up the heavy grind and all were more than wiliing to make for the khowers when the mentor was finally satis: fied, MORE LANDING FIELDS WANTED Landing fields at intervals of not more than 20 miles are nec- essary before Great Britain can be considered properly equipped for the flying of the next 10 years. And all fields should be safe and properly equipped. Thus declares the report just made to the Brit- ish Ministry of Health by the Aerodromes Committe 'of the Royal Institute of British Archi- tects on town planning and avia- tion, The report draws attention to the need for further provision of airports in order to develop in- ternal air transport. The ecommit- ten expresses the opinfon that the vast mass of the future aero- dromes of the country must be provided and owned by the com- munity through its local govern- ment organizations and not by in- dividuals. BOSTON BRUINS BUY IN THE WEST Seaitle, Oct, 22.--Max Suther- land, left wing for the Seattle Eskimos of the Pacific Coast Hoe- key League last year, was sold yesterday to Boston Bruing of the National Hockey League, He was the fifth man to be disposed of in the general break-up of the team. Two days ago John Hou: bregs, giant defenceman, was also sold to the Bruins, Three others were optioned out yesterday to the Syracuse sextet of the Internation- al League, The disbanding of the team followed differences between the club's president, Hugh M. Cald- well, and President Frank Patrick of the league. Workless to Benefit Montreal, Oct, 22.--1f Leo Dan- durand and Art Ross can com- plete arrangements now under! consideration two games between Boston and Canadiens for the benefit of the unemployed of Montreal and Boston will be played. It is hoped to play the games on December Tth and 9th when the venue of each game co be decided later. Dandurand and Ross conferred on the idea to-day, and if they can swing rink ar- rangements will be able to pre sent hockey's contribution to the | | unemployed fund. The Canadiens are considering | | signing on Art Smith who has ac. cepted their terms, New York Americans held an option on his | services and this has expired. Wirile Canadiens have not made their final decision in the matter it is likely that Smith will join them within a short time, WHITTINGTON CHURCH CLOSED Famous Bow Church, whose bells recalled Dick Whittington to London, has heen closed for want .of $13,000, The church ecan- not be reopened until roof, steeple and walls have been made safe, Even the bells need recasting or skilled repair. Altogether $75.- 000 is needed for restoration work. Experts say that the plight of the historic church is due to the ravages of the .death watch beetle, which has eaten heamsg in the roof, the great explosion in Silvertown some years ago, which is believed to have caused cracks in the walls and steeple, and the heavy traffic of Cheapside, which has widened the cracks. It may he years before another service is held in the church, Queens Juniors Defeat R.M.C. Kingston, Oct, 22, -- Queen's juniors stepped back into the run- ning for the group honors when they outplayed R.M.C. in the first local junior game of the season by the score of 15 to 1 at the Richardson Stadium yesterday af- ternoon. Queen's scored all but one point in the first half, and got their last point on the last play of the game. Forward passes played a large part in the Tricol- or victory, the winners getting one touchdown when MeNicholl threw a 25-yard pass to Fitton, who then ran 25 yards for a touch- down. The winners completed six passes for a total gain of 150 yards. ' Queen's secured the edge in the first minute when R.M.C. backs fumbled behind their own line and Daniels fell on the hall for a touchdown, Fitton's touchdown, which was converted by MeNicholl, and the latter's punting for four singles . completed the Tricolor scoring, while Savage's punt for a rouge was the only R.M.C. score, coming in the second quarter. The teams were: Queen's--Flying wing, Dan- fels; halves, Hall, MeNicholl, Sheppard; quarter, Fitton: snap, Dafoe; insides, Code, Earle: mid. dles, Waugh, MeGill; outsides, Marks, Gourley; subs.
