The arrangemiénts for the opening night have been completed, the play- ors of all the teams in the League 'have been signed and the stage is set ir & grand getaway. Hockey fans have been greatly in- terested in the reorganization under which the Kingston Hockey League has gone since the annual meeting # short time ago. A body of strong officers has been secured for the Lea- gue and they have looked after the preliminary arrangements in a very business-like and satisfactory man- ner and indications are that the City League will enjoy its best season in years. Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday will be City League night until well into January when a lay- off 'will be called until a little later in the season when the playoff games will be staged. Monday's opener promises to have the frills and thrills that should £0 with a good City Hockey League opener, The junior teams have been 'practising hard and the Olymples and Victoria-Boohoos, the latter club amalgamated organization, are * to go." There is some ex- Geptionally fine material in the ranks of. the junior teams this season and that the City League has taken over, they are more keenly in- than ever and promise to provide hockey that will delight and Snthuse local hockey fans.

Hughes, Athletic Director at Queen's, will handle the bell in the senior game between Regiopolis and Queen's, and C. Devlin wiil have charge of the junior game. The junior game will start at 7.15 sharp and the senior game will follow right on, so that the fans should be able to be home at a reasonable hour, COME ON, JUNIORS Unless the junior hockey players of the city turn out in larger num- bers and try to make the jumior O. H.A. team, the Kingston entry in the Ontario Association is going to be without the necessary strength. A practice was called for last night at six o'clock and about six players, in- cluding two goal-tenders, were on hand. : Many junior players in the city seem to be possessed of the idea that they are not fast emough for the junior O.H.A. team but they should first get out and try. That's the main thing. Nobody can do more than that. It is discouraging to the coaches to give up their time and then find only half a dozen players out for practice. Junior players will be welcomed at the practices for the junior O.H.A. team and every boy will be given a real chance to do his work in the trials. There is no select squad to attend these practices. Every boy who wants to play is welcome to turn out and also urged to do so. Notice of the next practice for jun- fors will be given and it is to be hoped that there will be 'a bigger attendance of players. POOR "RED" GRANGE TIRED OF IT ALL Sadly Disiliusioned and Disap- pointed, He Longs to Re= turn to College. Washington, Dec. 11.--"Red" Grafige, the most-talked-of man in America to-day, is just a tired, dis- illusioned and disgusted schoolboy. He was tired of so much foothall with no rest. He was disillusioned about the "gold mine" that had been promised him. And he was disgust- ed with the way his affairs have been handled since he went into business ~--the business of ball-toting, in which he admittedly stood at the top three weeks ago. Three weeks ago he was one of the greatest football players of ull time. NOw he is just another young- ster learning the bitter lesson of what it means to overdo a good thing. The sort of football Grange ex: hibited here wouldn't have won him a berth on a second-rate collége team. He gained only 24 yards In 35 minutes of play, and was thrown for losses that totalled half his gains, 5 Grange 15a bitterly disappointed boy.

Kennedy as president of the C.0.B.L. will meet with the approval of the fans in all the cities of the League. Mr. Kennedy has always been actively interested in baseball snd it would be hard to find a better man for the position. A hockey fan was heard to remark that he did not know where all the junior City League hockey players were coming from and that he was very much surprised to see the number out to the practices and the speed shown by them. The idea of the senior league fostering the jun- iors was certainly a splendid one, as there is bound to be a big demand for players dn this city in a few years for the senior leagues, and by that time the juniors should certainly be developed enoudlk to take a step farther in their hockey careers. : " The attractions for the opening of the City Leage at the Jock Harty Arena Monday night should prove very good and it is expected that there will be a large crowd on hand to see the double-header. Fans have been wanting to see city hockey and they will get a grand opportunity this winter with both the juniors and seniors in full swing.

Bome person may have heart failure if they pick up a paper and fall to see the name of "Red" Grange in screeching' head lines. Of all the talked of athletes, the youthful Yankee beats them «ll. Latest reports state that Grange is' f&d up with it and finds the strain too much. "It is all the bunk," says "Red," and he voiced the sentiments of hundreds of amateurs who put the lid on their athletic careers by the bright prospects of professionalism. The Queen's senior hockey squad is still practising hard and a real hockey team is being slowly moulded out by Athletic Director Hughes. The team will tour through New York state this year and will play exhibition games with some of the leading American university teams. 'What about the Juvenile Hockey League ? It looks as if this league, which the youngsters: have kept going for a great many years without support, will gg out of existence this season. The majority of last year's senior players are now playing junior city and without them and the man who has aways looked after the juveniles, "Nipper" Mathewson, there is not much hope for the "kids." -- [oom oer There will be finer this year than the attractive Christmas Wrapped Bachelor 'Packages in both 10% and 25%. tired.

"Red" has begun to sense the dif- ference between going back to the shower house of a college stadium, with flags waving and bands play- ing and friends cheering him, and being hurtied home to a drab hotel room into an atmosphere of bell- boy bootleg liquor, fat cigars, lobby ladies, and the erank crowds of a big city No Rest for Harold Grange.
