Ottawa Rowing Club lady hdckey players will seek further conques Queen's intercollegiate team here in the first of a two-game series, the return match in Ottawa to be ar- ranged later. The red and blue hockeyists have yet to be defeated this season, hav- ing chalked up two victories over the Pembroke Arenas and also a pair of wins over the Hull Interprovinc- fals. The team holds the brilliant record of having scored seventeen goals in four games with only one marker against them. This is quite a fest considering the fact that it is the Rowing Club's first season in ladies' hockey and many of the play+ ers are making their first bid in the winter pastime of chasing the puck. Queen's ladies haye an even stronger team than the one that made. such a splendid showing last season, and they are quite confident of opening their season with a vie- tory in the exhibition game with the Ottawa girls. The games last year were very largely attended and it is likely, that there will be a wéry large crowd on hand Monday night to see the fair sex in action for the first time this season. HOCKEY PLAYERS. The Ottawa Journal discussing the treatment of hockey and baseball players says: "Hockey players are noch better off than baseball players when it comes to being well treated. On the road baseball players are given so much to eat, they are obliged to be in bed not later than 11 o'clock, they have to practise every morning, and they are guided by a strict rule of conduct, violation of which brings instant fines. Hockey players have a carefree existence in comparison. They are just as well pald; even better, in proportion to. the time spent at the pastime. They stay in the best hotels, their eating expenses are not limited, they get the best of treatment when hurt, and are the pets of the populace, perhaps in a more limited, but not in any less enthusiastic, way, comparatively speaking. Hockey Is growing tre- mendously. The personal touch be- tween owners and players is some- thing that takes the commercial tinge off hockey. If it becomes too Americanizéd it is apt to be "base. ballized." With that will come many | restrictions now practically un- known to the game. ' The American publicity expert who glorifies the coach, the manager and most of the non-essentials of the game, may rob players of much of the glamor that is accorded them in Canada." RINK TO BE COOLER. Sn 3 Hockey Players Cannot Stand the Heat There. New York, Feb. 6.--With the an- nouncement that it will be cooler in Madson Square Garden hockey rink from now on the curious circum- stance of a wear anti-heat strike of players was disclosed. Announcing the lowering of the temperature in the rink, Tommy Gorman, manager, said that following a recent contest in the rink "Shorty" Green and Burch, two of fhe players, had faint- ed as a resglt of the heat in the arti ficial ice house, He said that the team had threat- ened to strike unless the tempera- ture was reduced, and that a delega- tion waiting on Tex Rickard and Col. Hammond had finally persuad- ed the management to keep the rink cooler. $4. RODDEN MAY BE MANAGER. Of the Toronto St. Pats for Next Season. Montreal, Feb, 6---The Gazelte on its sport page says: *M.

"Displaying neat combination, steady back-checking and dazzling individual work, Queen's juniors outplayed R.M.C. and defeated them by a score of 7-1 in their first junior Intercollegiate game of the season before a small crowd at the Arena last night, The Tricolor showed wonderful Improvement over its showing in its first games and R. M.C. was out of the picture for the full sixty minutes. The team-work of the winners was very pretty to watch. Many times they swept down on the R.M.C. cita- del three abreast, only to be turned aside by the startling saves of Kil- minster. The cadets held them well for the first period, the stanza end- ing 2-1 in Queen's faver but in the second session the Tricolor boys ran wild and piled up a score of 5-1 be- fore the period enfled. The cadets were skated into submission in the final period but gave all they had in an effort to keep fhe score down. "Gib" McKelvey was the star: of the Queen's team and the outstand- ing player on the ice. He received considerable attention from his op- ponents but despite this managed to break away often, either combining with one of his team-mates or stick- handling through the whole R.M.C. team on pretty solo efforts. On de- fence he was a tower of strength gnd it was very seldom that the Red and White were able to squeese' by Me- Kelvey and his partner, Hughes. Macpherson was about the pick of the forwards and was a continual worry to the cadets with his ngat stick work 'and persistent back- checking while McD also played star games. Orford turn- ed in his usyal steady game in the nets and deprived RM.C. of many goals by his seemingly impossible saves. Rolph and Darling worked like! Trojans for R.M.C. but for all their efforts, combined with those of their team-mates, they could make no im- pression. Rolph was all over the ice at all times, displaying nice stick- handling and speedy back-checking that proved an oyance to the Tricolor. Darling played a great game both defensively and on the offensive, His rushes were always dangerous and ended up with a wick- ed shot tit had Orford tonaing to keep it out of the. nets. work of Nichol and Mather was also good while the other players gave their best and won credit for their untiring efforts 'to hold Queen's in check, ° First Period. Things were rather even in the opening stanza with the Tricolor having the edge om combination work. Individual rushes were fre- quent on the part of the Red and White but they were ineffective as the player, seldom got any further than the defemce. McKelvey, who had been making things hot with his lone rushes, opened the scoring column when he cruised down the ice, shot through the defence, and went in to slam the puck off the re- bound from Kilminster after about eight minutes of action. With about half the time gone, Bibby and Mac- pitching. pherson engineered an attack, the former scoring on a'neat shot. Rolph scored R.M.C.'s first and only goal when he combined with Nichol and succeeded in fooling Queen's de- fence. : Te v ---- Second Period. _After about four minutes of play in the second session, Bibby added another 'mark for Queen's on a cor ner shot that completely fooled Kil- within its own blue line but McKel- vey again came to the fromt and rushed the length of the ice to ring up another score, making the count, {41.0 RM.C. showed better combina- : | SPORTING NOTES AND COMMENT To-night's basketball games at the Queen's gymnasium should prove to be one of the best attractions of the season, and it 1s likely that there will be a large crowd on band to see Queen's in action against McGill in their first clash of the season. The ladies' game, between Renfrew and Queen's, will be also well worth seeing. The local junior O.H.A. team is getting down to real hard practice now in preparation for the game Monday night. Kingston has a strong chance to capture an O.H.A. title this year in the junior series, and the fans feel confident that the team will come through. Monday night's game will mean a great deal to the locals me thoy will play their hardest to get a good start. x The City League will likely get under way again next week. The teams have started practising in preparation for the second half, and it is certain that it will prove even more interesting than the first. The Victoria-Boohoos will not have things their own way as much in the gecond half, according to the other junior teams in the league. Jack Dempsey still claims that he will box Harry Wills on Labor |} Day, but Tex Rickard states that the champion is giving the people a "sleigh drive." At any rate, the boxing fans are of the opinion that the world's heavyweight title is due to change hands very soon. The fel8<will have the opportunity of eeeing a real fast ladies' hockey game Monday night, when the Ottawa Rowing Club ladies meet i the Tricolor girls in an exhibition game. Queen's team is reported to be very strong this season, and, as the Ottawa girls have shown in their games this season that they are a snappy collection of puck chasers, the | SEAMAN-KENT FLOOR FINISH Waterproof Paper, Filler, Shellac, Var- dW SEAMAN-KENT HARDWOOD . , FLOORING All with the same Ro guasanien of highest ALLAN LUMBER CO. 4 Victoria Street, near Union.

By a vote of 5 to 3 the rules com- mittee has again legalized the use of resin bythe pitchers. The three dissénting votes were poled by the American League re- presentatives on the committee. The three National Leaguers, Judge Lan- dis and Dale Gear, represénting the minors, went .on record as favoring it. ; Personally I am sorry that resin has come back as a pitching asset. First, because it is going to make more woe for the umpires and they already have plenty. Second, because it will act as an opening wedge for the return of trick pitching, Five years ago the majors ruled out the right of a pitcher to apply 'any foreign substance on the ball. This was to eliminate all forms of freak pitching that had reached such a stage that most twirlers were using trick rather than natural stuff. Pitching had become too powerful. batting had slumped and the mag- nates wanted to increase the hitting. ss Unfortunately they went too far by putting in the rabbit ball at the very time they eliminated trick . * - Doing away with trick pitching which had reached alarming propor- tions, would have remedied the lack of batting, by tending to equalize pitching and batting. then perhaps rubs his hands on his trousers, there is bound to be a dirty spot on the uniform as a re- sult, That dirty spot is sure to cover a multitude of pitching sins. | In the old days of trick pitching many. hurlérs would have certain spots on their yniform 'into which they would rub powdered emery, which is not unlike resin in appear- ance. And they always managed to get the powdered emery on the ball. Otheri pitchers went so far as to have a large sized plece of emery pa- per sewed inside the shirt of their uniform and by rubbing the: ball over that spot could easily Foughon it. The pitchers aren't going to be satisfled with merely using resin to dry their hands, it's going to be an excuse for many other forms of trick pitching. And always the pitcher will assure the umpire he is using nothing but resin. * . » Hven at that, resin will accom- plish most of the desired results. It will slightly discolor the ball, it will tend to roughen it, it will help load the seams. What more help could a pitcher want? It Was Her Father.
