Former Hockey Star Passes Kitchener, Nov. 5. -- After a week's {liness, the death occurred Tuesday night at his home of Nelson Gross, one of the greatest of Kitchener's hockeyists of 26 years ago. Known familiarily as "Uncle" Gross, he teamed with such men as Billy Knell and "Goldie" Cochrane, and brought liockey fame and an O.H.A. sen- ior championship to Berlin in 1906. Gross played 'point, and in 1907 the team was well on the way to another title when It was thorwn out of the competition in the playoffs for alleged profes- sicnalism, It as then. that the first "pro." team played in Kit- chener, this event occurring with- in a few days of their suspension. It all came about during the semi-finals in Toronto. Indica- tions were that for the second successive year the O.H.A. senior title would go to Berlin. Toron- to was defeated, An then they kicked up a fuss with the O.H.A. | and the club was disqualified be- cause of Jim McGinnis, The story goes that Jim play- ed ball for Preston a few years carlier, and the club had paid some of his doctor bills and his board. This went hefore the O, H.A. together with the statement that the team "split"' receipts at the end of the season. The next year the Ontario Pro- fessional Hockey League, com- prising Brantford, Guelph, Tor- onto and Kitchener, was formed, At that time . Hughie Lehman played in goal, Gross was especially noted for his great poke check, which made nim an exceedingly difficult man to pass. Born in this city fifty years ago, he resided all his life here, His son, Harold, who is now play- ing hockey in Charlottetown, P.E.Y, fololws in his father's foot. =teps, For years he played in tne O.H.A. and O.R.F.U, here before ruoving east. His widow and son Ilarold, survive. The funeral will be held on I'riday afternoon, with interment in Mount Hope Cemetery here.

He has a nucleus of a dozen stur- dy veterans, including some of the greatest figures the sport has developed since such early hock- ey days as when Queen's Univer- sity and the Royal Military Col- lege met on a frozen cricket field in Kingston, in 1888, These reliables include the areat defence trio, Captain Lionel Fred Hitchman, the dynamic Ed- die Shore and George Owen, for- mer Harvard star, Then there is Tiny Thompson, one of the best goal-tenders in recent years, plus such tested forwards as the fleet Cooney Weiland, Marty Barry, Art Chapman, Red Beattie, Perk Galbraith, Dit Clapper and the crafty Harry Oliver, who has per- formed valiantly for the Bruins i the last five Stanley Cup strug. les, | A count of sticks at the Arena, where the Bruins are training with their farm team, the Bruin Cubs of the Canadian-Ameriean cireuit, showed that Ross has 323 players in his pre-season squad, Heavy Defence ReCruits Several of the newcomers, In- cluding Bill Touhey, a forward drafted from the defunét Ottawa Senators; Burly Joe Jerwa, the defence player, who came here from the Rangers in the trade for Dutch Gainor; Dave Downie, 134- pound stripling from the Port- land team in the Coast League, and the "Carnera of Hockey," 223%-pound Jack Houbergs, six foot-three secondary from Beattle, will probably be able to hang on until the season well under way, Most of the other Bruin pros- pects will be turned over to the Cubs for seasoning. Some of the aspiring forwards working under Ross are Alex "Bud" Cook, younger brother of the famous Ranger forward; Eddie Burke up from the Cubs; Joe Filkin, late of Los Angeles; Red Conn ang Joe McGoldrick, another pair of Coast Leaguers, and Walno Koski, a year overdue in reporting from the Duluth Club of the American Hockey Association.

Future Here Uncertain Kitchener, Nov. 5. -- Whether the Ontario Pro. League will op- erate this year will not be deeid- ed until Dee. 2, it was decided at 2 meeting held here Tuesday night which did not conclude un- til a late hour. Indications are not any too rosy for the league. Four clubs, Galt, Guelph, Osh- awa and Kitchener, had delegates ut the meeting, while Woodstock, Brantford and Stratford, who were said to be Interested, did not send representatives, and it payroll with is believed that they are not par- ticularly keen, Oshawa is an uncertain quans tity and the western clubs are not fussy about the expensive jaunt to the eastern city. Guelph has only natural ice and that is a barrier with no cold weather at present in sight. Galt would welcome pro. hockey because it appears that there will be only a jvnior O.H.A, team there. In Kitchener there are three O.H.A. teams and a city league, so this city will not be without hockey if the league fails to function, A leagne composed of Galt, (inelph, Kitchener and Brantford wa« discussed, but the questions arose, would a four team group he worth while and would Brant- ford enter such a loop? It was decided to wait until Dec. 2 when a definite decision will be de- manded of all interested. The resignation of Mike Rod- den, of Toronto, the president, was accepted, It was also des cided to retain the league's affili- etion with the N.H.L,, even {f it Goes not operate this year, Battalino Wins Titular Battle Chicago Stadium, Chicago, Ill, Nov. 5.--"Bat" Battalino, world's featherweight champion, defend- ed his title last night in a blister- ing ten-round hout with Earl astro, Chicago challenger, win- niug the decision of the referee and two judges, Battalino and Mastro set a fast pace to open the first round, the champion rdying on a body at. tack at close quarters, with Mas- tro landing several times to the chin and head from long range, Again in the second, Battalino crowded Mastro, whaling him with a body attack and then un. leasing rights and lefts to the jaw that floored Mastro wiwneut oa count. The challenger tore in- to the champion with flailing rights and lefts to the chin, Mas- tro missed many of his punches in the third, but some of his hooks found the mark as Batta- iine tore in and inflicted body punishment, and forced the chal- lenger to retreat. Mastro outhoxed the champion early in the fourth round, count- ing to the face and body with !rrty swings, and he was scarcely slowed up before he had Batta- | lino weaving to escape the at- tack, The champion rallied with Buffalo Bisons Beat Americans Fort Erie, Nov, ©b6.--8uffalo Bisons of the International Hockey League turned baek New York Americans of the National League here last night in a well played exhibition game by a score of 6 to 2, The first period ended in a two goal tie but the Bisons set a merry pace in the final two periods scoring twice in each stanza, Better condition and better combination earned the victory for the Bisons, mak- ing their initial appearance un- der the managership of Frank Nighbor, ex-Ottawa Senator centre star. .
