CATARAQUI TEAM "BEAT VERONA 4-2 Interesting County ' League Game Played in the City Wednesday Afternoon. McPherson Baldwin Gourlay Cataraqui juniors defeated Verona by a scare of 4-2 in a junior County League fixture at the Palace Rink, Wednesday afternoon before a fair. sized crowd. The game was not pro- ductive of very fast hockey, due to the stiff checking, but at times the pace was good and the youngsters displayed some pretty work. The Baker Brothers were about the best for the winners and both deserve a great deal of the credit for the victory. The Cataraqui defence was very weak and failed to combine in stopping rushes but they handed out some stiff body checking and played pice hockey individually, Kil- minster, in the nets, let two shots slip by him in the first period but tightened up in the latter stages of the game and contributed some valu« able work. Reynolds was the star for the losers and appeared to be about the best performer on the ice. Time after time he sailed away on lone efforts but he was often stopped by heavy body-checking, which jarred him considerably. Whitty appeared to be good for the first two stanzas but in the last slowed up consider- ably and was not so effective. He missed some neat passes from Rey- nolds, which might have been good for tallies. Revell played a nice game in the nets and had little chance to save those that got him. In the last period the Cataraqui players were in on him many times but he rose to the occasions and made some pretty saves. Combination seemed lacking in both teams. The players had a habit of bunching and if either team had resorted to combination a little, the pace would have been faster and the game more exciting. Verona started off very strongly and were on the offensive all of the first period. Play hovered in the Cataraqui territory for the greater part of the session and when Verona slipped two by Kilminster, things looked very bad for the Blue and! White. 'In the second period, how- gver, Cataraqui showed much more pep and proceeded to force the play to the other end. Revell was call- ed. upon to do some tall stepping but for all his work, Cataraqui evened the codnt after about ten minutes of "play. Reynolds' work for Verona in the second period was outstanding but he was outlucked many times when he broke through the defence only to miss the nets or overskate the puck. In the final period, Cata- raqui continued .to hit their pace while the Verona boys slackened gonsiderably, with the result that! théy were outplayed for the full 'twenty minutes. It was not long till Cataraqui had beaten Revell for two more goals, practically cinching the game. Verona tried a comeback but they were hemmed in and could not get going, the Baker Brothers in went through th hike Danone. § 7 "Ti toms woe: : fessional CANADIAN SKATER IS | ACCUSED OF CHARGING Sald He Asked $500 for on) vices--S8kating Speed Art- Ist Denles the Charge.

New York, Feb, 4.--The birth of a United States professional hockey league, controlled by promoters in this country, for Which material would be drawn from United States colleges and amateur "organizations, is predicted in The New York World by Al Wilson, a sport writer, as an economic development following the successful introduction of the pro- game in United States cities, Justifying the prediction, the whit or states that good players are no longer available, and now that hoc- key has become a great financial en- terprise "the old axiom of economics that prices will go sky-High 'when the demand exceeds the supply is be- ing felt keenly by the American fos- ter fathers of the game."

R.M.C. have a very strong junior six, but they will find a hard team to dawn in the Tricolor. Queen's juniors ave stronger this season than they have been in many years and hopes are held out for a junior Intercollegiate title. When a New York journalist wrote an article about roller polo being a faster game than hockey, he started some queer old arguments. There are many who are confident that a faster game than Canada's favorite winter sport has yet to be played, and, although they have never seen'a game of roller polo, they claim that it can not be faster than hockey. At any rate, there is no fear of roller polo displacing hockey in Canada, or in the United States cither, so what's the use wortying ?

Whether he will sign an agreement to that effect or | not remains to be seen, but the world's champion will have to don the gloves mighty soon or he will be going stale.

Key West, Fla.,, Feb. 4---Jick Dempsey will meet Harry Wills, the black panther, in a title bout on La- bor Day, the Key West Morning Call said yesterday in publishing an in- terview with the champion, who was in the city en route to Tampa from Havana.

Continuing, the Call's story said: "The place where this much-talked- about title match will be held has not been decided upon, according to the champion, who declared that he was not the least bit skeptical about holding it, even in Madison Square Garden, If arrangements for staging the bout in the East fall through, then Floyd Fitzsimmons, the pro- moter, will scout about for a loca- tion in the West.
