He had a as o hockey plaver to be proud of. Once a member of the jun- jor champions of Ontario, three time a member of the runners-up in the sen ior O.H.A. series, and once a membe: of the champion Ith hockey team. Hi GEORGE VANHORN Who has left for Calgary to locate then presented him with the travelling bag, and remarked that the initials "G.L.V." also stood for "Good Luck Van." George was touched by the remem- brance of his friends and could hardly reply. The severing of the friendships of his boyhood days was more than he thought it would be, and he was deep- ly affected. He thanked them heartily for the gift, and the little scone was brought to a close by singing "For He's a Jolly Good Fellow."

The formation of the proposed county hockey league has met with the approval of a large number oi fans interested in district hockey and they think it will stimulate the inter- est.

The beautiful cup donated by thony Rankin, M.P.P., for the senior champions of the township hockey league, is now in the window of Smith Bros' store on King street.

Bethel--Edgar, Holland, Law, Veale and Wilson. Broek--Reid, Harrison, Kinch, Craw- ford, Davis. : Referce--Leslie Meek. The game which created the most interest and excitement was between St. James' and Sydenham. St, James' had played four games and had been victorious in all. Sydenham had play- od five games, and had heen defeated only once. 'Ti the Anglicans had won last night's game, they would prac tically have had championship cinched, But Sydenham, after a hard fight, woh out by the dearg of 17 to I5. During the first half, St. James' had a little the better of the nlay. The checking was very close, and the half en with a score of 5 to 7, for St. James'. : Both teams came back sas strong as ever, and after ten minute' play the Anglicans continued to lead by two points. But the Methodists possessed the lucky horseshoe, and won the gamé in the last five minutes, v scoring two baskets. in succession. With one mimute to play, and the score standing 17 to 15, {or the "Me thodists, St. James' team seemed to the grow as excited as the spectators, but ---------- wn ma pions of last year's township hockey league, is "some net watcher." Dur- ing the two years he has had 'charge of the cage for the Bath Road: team, he has only had six goals scored against him. Can any goalkeeper in this vicinity claim as good a record as that? y ------ Had a Practice Game, The Senior Granites and Bath Road Beavers had a practice game at the Palace rink, Tuesday evening, and the senior city champions defeated the Brownfield, by the close score of Miss Gertrude township team J to 1.
