Athletes Win War Honors. The story 'of how Flight-Lieuten- ants George R. Hodgson, of Mont- real,, the Canadian Olympie and world's champion swimmer, and J, Lindsay Gordbn, also a well-known Montreal athlete; earned the London Board of Trade silver medal for sav- ing life at sea, was modestly related by the latter in a letter to his father. They were patrolling in a seaplane off the Hook of Holland, when they encountered fog and turned back. On the road home they saw, forty 'miles. off the Duteh coast, two Brit- ish airmen adrift on a tive-foot float. They had been there for five and a half days, and were all in. Hodgson and Gordon ascended, wirelessed home the situation and réported their determination to attempt a rescue and thén descending, took the half-unconscious men aboard A rough sea was rolling and the sea- plane with its extra burden was un- able to rise, so Hodgson and Gordon "taxied" her out into the shipping channel, where a drifter, after four hours' manoeuvring, took the res- cued men aboard. Hodgson and Gordon stuck to the seaplane and landed on an English beach half full of water. The rescued men recover- ed, but it was touch and go for some days. ---------- Cicotte and Schalk Injured. Eddie Cicotte, the crack pitcher of the Chicago White Sox, may be un- able to put on a uniform for some time. Cicotte and his catcher, Ray Schalk, were thrown out of an auto- mobile at Mineral Springs, Tex. the other day. The shine ball expert was' taken to a hospital; suffering from shock and a badly "wrenched back. Schalk, too, was seriously hurt and had to be carried.to the hotel. Grover Hartley, catcher, who was traded to Columbus by the St. Louis | Browns, once declared be couldn't play in St, Louis'and do himself jus- tice. Now he says he won't go to Columbus, and that he will play ball in St."Louls or newhere.

The world's series hockey has severd one good purpose, says the Toronto News, The results in the thiree days' illustrate to a nicety of the adoption.of a uniform playing code, There will always be dissatis- faction over the Stanley Cup contests, while the competition is played: un- der two different and distinct .cades. There are good points in both games, The penalty rule in force In the coast league is wegrthy of adoption, and the kicking of the puck in a limited area possesses an appeal. It speeds up the game. The other features of the western style, however, are ob- jectionable to the local fans accus- tomed to the rapid fire skating and! clean accurate passing which obtains | == under-the six man system.

Ee ------ Fine Bonus For Hockeyists, It is probable that the Stanley Cup players will split in the neighborhood of $8,000 between them after all ex- peuses have been deducted, which means that the wisners will. receive about $350 each and the losers $250.
