That the new professional hockey circuit now hatching will be calied the Eastern Canada Hockey League, and will be a four-club affair, is about the only news forthcoming concerning the tangled pro. situa- tion. Ottawa, Canadiens and Wanderers are certain to be members of the new series, and Toronto may ba the fourth club. ¥ Quebec gets a fran. chise in the new league the Ancient Capital club is expected not to oper- ate, and the franchise will be turned over to the Toronto Arena Company, who are mostly Montreal men, and who will control the Toronto Hockey Club.

The sporting editor of the Mont- real Star, commenting on Saturday night's, hockey meeting, days in pert: ; "The meeting of the N:H.A. was a veritable moving picture that might have been named 'casting him out.' "Whoever the stage manager was, he is to be congratulateds but it is doubtful # anyone will take the thing seriously. "Anyone unfamiliar with the do. ings of promoters woyld have surely come to the conclusion that it was all up with Pro-hodkey for next winter. "Yet, it seems a fair guess to make, that before long the club re- presentatives will hold another meeting, will draw up a schedule for the coming season, and may even operate under a new name for a new association, to last for the duration of the war, an association, in fact, 'which it would not at all be rpris- ing might have Frank Calder, the present secretary of the Nationa] As- | sociation, as its president." -------------- A.
