X Secretary McErlacker, of the Westchester Racing Association, says that the Futurity to. be run at Bel- 'mont Park, New York, next Septem- ber will be worth about $30,000 in gross value. This wil} be the rich- est Futurity since Eihionoers vie- tory in 19068, when "the value was $36,880. The high-water mark was $67,675 in 1890, when Potomac came home in 'triumph. The victory of His Highness the following year net- ted $61,675. Requite won $53,190 in 1895, while next in value was Do- mino's Futurity of $48,855 in 1893. Artful won $40,830 in 1904: but since then the big event has not reached those figures. Cully Wilson is a benedict and therefore a free agent as far as the M.S8.A. is concerned. He will report to Seattle shortly and will leave Winnipeg on Dee, 15th, unless the Patricks decide not to operate. #3 THREE CHALLENGES EXPECTED FOR CUP jo -- The Senior Champions of O.H.A. This Year Will De- fend the Trophy. By a mail vote the affiliated pro- vincial bodies decided to forego the annual meeting of the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association this year, and the old officers remain. They are: President, Sheriff Pax- ton, Whitby; vice-president, W. M. Van Valkenberg, Regina; secretary, W. A. Hewitt, Toronto. The Allan Cup competition will continue as usual. Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Thunder Bay will have military leagues, and three challenges for the cup are expeéted. The cup will be defended this year by the club that wins the senior championship of the O.H.A. It is now held by the Dental Hockey Club of Toronto. The 77th Battalion hockey team, who will play in the Saskatchewan League, have designs on the Allan Cup. They have Wilson and 'Barker of last year's Regina Victorias; Gor- don Forbes and George Feath, of Prince Albert; Bill Clark, a Regina City League player, and a number of others, WOULD BUY BLACKBURNE. Player Ambitious to Attempt "Come-back™ in 1918, Larry Lajoie is not the only play- er likely to be lost by the Toronto club. According to President Mec- Caffery, these major league clubs have made offers for the release of Russell . ("Lena") Blackburne. In the event of the suspension of the league thére is no doubt that both Blackburne and Lajoie will be sold, but should the International decide to continué under war con- ditions and with a reorganized cir cuit ong or the other will certainly be retained, preferably Lajoie. The Toronto management might decide to retain the services of both play ers. Lajoie would like to re-enter the majors -in a managerial capacity, nad has repeatedly said so. Black- burne does not want such a position: He could have béen manager of the Toronto team last season had he so desired. "Lea" is ambitious to get back to one of the big rings, and hopes that he will be sold.
