The rule was found to i weak, of éourse, due to the fact it it carried no penalty. President pointed out, however, that in oases, players were required to ® themselves and their final sates for playing would not be | until such time as this had 'done. The chairman pointed that the practice had always earried out and had worked thé Way of any, s iin delegates at the meeting re in favor of having more dras- } action taken against players sign- two clubs, They were of the on that if it was found that a had signed for two clubs, that i be suspended for the cur- rent season. It appearad as though the officials of the League were not anxious to take such steps and the policy that had always been carried out remains in force. The Case of Patterson President Walter Cook brought up a matter that caused considerable discussion' and showed that there was a great division of opinion as to whether or not a player should be allowed to play in a faster hockey league than the County Hockey Lea- gue and continue to play with the latter. The case of George Patter- son was the subject Tor discussion. President Cook stated that he had been approached by Kingston Hoc- key Club officials during the past week with a view to having Patter- son allowed to play for the Kingston Junior O.H.A. team as well as in the County League. As there was no meeting of the executive of .the County Hockey League before the first O.H.A. game, President Cook granted the Kingston officials permission to play Patter- son at Brockville last riday night and promised that he would bring the matter before the executive of the League at its next meeting. Pre- sident Cook put the matter before | the executive for tHeir action and to| decide whether or not they would) allow him to go into O.H.A, and con- tinue to play in the County Hockey League or play with one or the other. The Rule Stands. Some of the delegates were of the opinion that it was in the interesfy of good sport to allow any county players to come into the city and play with the O.H.A. teams if they were fast enough té do so, without affecting their standing in the County League, pointing out that the boys got better training and were speed. ing up the game in the class of the game in the County. They believed that it would be a good thing for the game and were not in favor of ; NOTES AND COMMENT Cobb, who recently celebrated his thirty-ninth birthday, has been Detroit Tigers since 1905. 10,353 'times, made 3,823 hits, and has scored 2,038 runs.

HIGH PRAISE FOR CANADIAN GAME Prominent American Sporis= man Denies He Said Hockey Was Not Run Properly. William C. Prout, of Boston, chairman of the International Rela- tions Committee of the Amateur Athletic Union of the United States, has written a letter to P. J. Mul- queen, president of the Canadian Olympic committee, in which he ex- plains that he was misquoted in his remarks sent out from Boston on December 31st in connection with the establishment of hockey in the Playgrounds of Boston and environs. Mr. Prout was quoted as follows: "We want to develop hockey, and feel that going after the youngsters is our only hope. : There will be no more of the Canadian interpretation of amateurism as far as our hockey goes. We intend to stand by our interpretation of the amateur as de- fined by tHe Amateur Athletic Union." A Strong Denial. Mr. Prout says in his letter: "I am very glad that you called this to my attention, because I had. pot seen it before and I am glad of the op- portunity of saying that, if it was carried in any Boston paper, then some newspaper man must have en- tirely misunderstood my remarks. "In talking about the proposal of providing skating rinks on the pub- lic pAr®¥ and playgrounds in Boston, I stated that I'was very strongly in favor of the proposition and I hoped that if properly carried out, it would result in the development of some high-grade amateur hockey players to take the place of the so-called amateurs who have been barred from the game. I stated that there was no reason why Wwe could not hope to develop American "boys to t same degree of proficlency as t#t Canadian players. The question was raised as to the defense urged by some of the American "amateur" hockey players, who were really nothing more than professionals, that, under the rules of the O.H.A., they might still be considered ama- teurs. I replied that I was not familiar 'with these rules, but that I felt sure that the rules of the O. H. A. must be substantially the same as the amateur rules of all countries efiliated with the Amateur Interna- tional Federation, and that I hoped, with the development bf a new crop of amateur hockey players in this country, there would be no such humiliating spectacle as having 'a member of the American Olympic team admit pat he had been paid for playing hockey.

The Arts' Faculty Hockey League will start out under way on the 15th of the month with '26 playing '27 and from then on the fireworks will be going strong. There is great riv- alry among the different Arts' years and indications are that there will be some lively sessions at the Areha | | for the year championship. In Arts this year there is an abund@hce of food material for year hockey and the different managers are getting their teams licked into shape for the battles that are ahead of them.

Soldiers Have Formed Inter-Company League The local 'Artillerymen have form- ed an inter-company hockey league of their own and starting on Tues- day next will play a series of games at the Arena from {Wo to three o'clock every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon.
