He bas been one of the staunchest and abl- est executives of the Kingston Club and shas been on the job right to the last. James T. Sutherland, tha man in whose hands was .placed much of the responsibility of the inner ar ranging, 1s 'one of the men to whom the lion's share of the credit, if there is such a thing to be said, is due. James T. Sutherland has been energetic to the limit, he has ar- renged details here, there and everywhere and his long experience with high up officials of the gamo has made the path smoother for the team. Kingston, the home town, is Mr. Sutherland's foremost thought, and for the team to bring honor to Kingston, his own city, was his deéar- est wish. It is hail to put into so many words what" Mr. Sutherland bas done for the Kingston team but it is hardly necessary to say that there would have been some mighty hard sledding if the same Jsmes T. had not been on the job. To President T. A. Kidd and the members of the executive, J. 8S. Me- Donell, George VanHorne, W. P. Hughes and Reg. Crawford great credit is coming also for what they have done. J. 8. McDonell was one of the main stickers of the team when the starting was under way, be¢ made the path easier and he gave as much time and energy to- wards the good 'of the club as he possibly could. He was there when things did not have the glamour to them that they had later on but he gave his best and his best was much. Always on the lookout to see what he could do for the team. President Kidd has been an active worker from the start and little is needed to tell of what time and work he has -i given to the club.

TRIBUTES PAID T0 THE GREAT VEZINA The Greatest Goal-Tender of All Time--Was Fine Sportsman. Montreal, March 29.--The hockey world to-day mourns the passing of George Vezina. One year ago he was the stonewall defense in front of which the Canadien Hockey Club battled to a national Hockey Lea- gue. championship. He died at Chi- coutimi, Saturday morning, on the date of the deciding of another lea- gue championship, in which two other teams sought the laurels, while hig own Canadiens find consolation ia exhibition victories after a disas- trous season, Vezina was a vietim of tubercul- osis. The disease seized him in an acute stage at the opening of the present season and from then on he failed rapidly. His last appearance on ice was at the openin game, when he was forced to retire. Many tributes are paid to the great goal tender by the local sport writers, The Herald says: The Greatest of Them All, "Phe noblest Roman of them all, the great defender of the braided cord in going will leave behind an imperishable memory. Heim was accorded by all critics fo be the greatest goal-tender that ever stood in front of the nets, greater even than the urbane and colorful Le- sueur, or Olint Benedict In his prime. For 18 years Vezzy was the phlegmatic, imperturbable wonder. He played so many marvelous games that it is difficult to recall any par- ticular contest in which he stood out, unless it was that memorable play-off game at Ottawa ind 1923 when Canadiens went to Ottawa two goals down with Sprague Cleghorn and Bill Coutu suspended. Cana- diens drew up even in the first period, and it wds the wonderful as- surance of Vezina in the nets that saved fhe day. The compiler of stops in that game credited Vezzy with handling 79 shots of all kinds. Fifty of those must have been of the lard driven variety. "Vezina was a wonder man of the nets. He was one of those who helped to make pro hockey what it iz to-day. His superior may at some time arise, but when that time comes whoever takes his place in the esteem of fandom will have to ba a veritable super man of the nets."

Joe Cattarinich, now one of the owners of the Canadien team, play- pd on that occasion. He saw Vezi- na's work and was impressed: Through Cattarinich the Canadiens made an offer to Vezina the next year and he came to Montreal. Only 20 years of age, his contract to play for Canadiens was signed for him by his brother, Péter, in 1909. HOW CAMBRIDGE WON THE RACE WeathsF Conditions Were Ex- cellent--WIin Was Easy. . Mortlake, March 29.--Cambridge on Saturday won the annual Oxford- Cambridge boat race on the Thames while hundreds of thousands jined the river banks and shoute en- couragement to the oarsmen, The Light Blues won by five lengths in 19 minutes, 29 seconds, a minute slower than the course re- cord established by Oxford in 1911. The margin was the greatest since 1903, barring the fiasco of last year, when the strangely designed Oxford shell virtually swamped and was 30 lengths behind when Cambridge crossed the finish line. The race was rowed over smooth water in a light wind and under a sunny sky. The count between the two universities, since the classic was first rowed in 1809 now stands: Cambridge 37, Oxford 40. One race, in 1877, was a dead heat. Oxford Wins Toss. Oxford, as the challenger, em- berked first, and a roar of "Oxford, Oxford, Oxford," rose from the throngs. Cambridge was given an equal 'welcome. The judges sum- moned the crews' presidents to their boat and they tossed for position. Oxford won the toss and chose the Sursey side of the river. Their crew was out slightly stale, accord- ing to the popular idea. Cambridge had to row a substitute at number four, the regular member of the crew having taken: ill with measles a few days ago. 'There were no Am- ericans in either crew. " Oxford was quicker to get away 'and had three-fourths of a length lead' in the first mile, but at the mile they were level and pulling hard. At Duke's Meadow's ford coach, designed the strange,' stubby craft in which Oxford suffer-, ed the most humiliating defeat in} its history. | ¥ | aap ims over | Says James T. Sutherland: "Never before has a bunch of lads under the age of twenty years shown such | grit and dogged determination game | after game as have the gallant King- | ston lads.

"We have had a most enjoyable trip but the grind has been a hard one and we are all tickled io death to get back to home and loved ones again. If anybody thinks these Do- minion finals allowed one to sit back and enjoy life they are certainly | mistaken.
