Seibert is Only Ranger Hold-out Toronto, Oct. 27.--The New York Rangers and Springfield Indians are steadily progressing in their training for the ap- proaching seasons, in the Na- tional and Canadian-American leagues, respectively, at the Ravina rink, and Manager Lester Patrick of the Rangers is more than pleased with the way things are going, with one exception. All of the players of the two clubs have reported, although Murray Murdoch 'will be on the ice for the first time today. There was a mix-up in the in- structions sent to him at Edmon- ton and this delayed him almost a week in reporting, but as he signed his contract last season his non-arrival did not cause gny worry. The exception fs in connection with Earl Seibert, the Kitchener lad who made a name for him- self as a member of the Spring- field Indians during the past two seasons, and was billed for promotion to the Rangers this Winter. There are several play- ers of both squads who have not yet agreed with their clubs as to salaries, but there ig not a great difference between the parties concerned outside of Sei- 'hert's case. The latter and the Rangers are far enough apart as to their valuations of his ser- vices, and it is possible that when the Rangers move out for Spring- field on Saturday the player will not be taken along. Seibert prac- ticed with the squad for the first time yesterday. Most of the players have had five or six workouts on the ice and tomorrow the Rangers will oppose the Indians in an exhibi- tion game at Oshawa, The squads have been practicing at different times and there is corsiderable rivalry between the two teams, and the players will be given a chance to work some of it out on Wednesday, On Friday Patrick will take his squad to London for another exhibition, this time against Clem Loughlin's Tecum- sehs of the International League. Sixteen on Ranger Squad The Ranger squad is now com- plete with John Ross Roach in goal, Ching Johnson and Bren- nan on the defence, with Seibert, Hib Milks and Dutch -Gainor available for relief purposes. Both Milks and Gainor have had experience on the rearguard and are being included in Patrick's plans, Up forward there will be the all-star regular line of Frankie Boucher flanked by the Cook brothers, Bill and Bun, along with Deg Jardines, Som- ers, Barton, Keeling, Jarvis, Murdock and Dillon, Back-to-land Movement Gains Momentum by Aid of Railways Canadian National and Canadias Pacific railways, approximately 30,000 Canadian men, womes and children have been placed oF farms, cither as laborers or lané owners, during the year ended September 30, 1931. \ Of this number 10,953 were single men who were placed or farm laborers either on a wage bagis or under yearly contracts The remainder were families totalling 3,761, and averaging five to a family, wh» were able to finance the taking over 0! vacant farms under casy term: arranged for them through the Federal, Provincial or railway colonization agencies, None of the families or single men were assisted financially and the work of placing them was carried out by existing organiza. tions of Government and rail- ways. Placements were made in almost every case in the neigh- borhoods in which -the families resided. The greatest activity along this line was in the Province of * Ottawa.--Through the coa-op- eration of the Department of Im- migration and Colonization and the Colonization branches of the Springfield has practically the same squad as won the Can-Am, title last April in the gruelling seven-game series with the Bos- ton Bruin Cubs with the excep- tion of Gene Carrigan and Deacon White.

Up forward will he Fan Heximer, Heller, Grant, Ben- son, McAdam, Paul, Heard and Medynski, the latter trio heing Western Canada amateurs who are having a trial. Frank Carroll, menager of the Indians, is well pleased with the material at his disposal and has hopes of adding another title to his record of three in five years with Spring- field.
