No more colorful or jeous "'gridder" than the late Sf" Russell ever stepped into the alefum glare. A dashing, reckless ind yet most thoughtful athlete, i#80ll was an enigma to players, and coaches alike, He could almost everything better than ld most of the Canadian football and even in defeat he always fo great heights to add spectac- and sensational features to the he loved so well. Russell never had an enemy. He admired just as sincerely by his ponents as he was by his own immates, and no one begrudged the honors that were his, won ily in that most strenuous of all , football, This great player first attracted tention when performing feats for 'McGill University seniors.

' PORT ARTHUR TEAM WILL NOT BE INTACT Ohabot and Gray Have Turned Pro. and Brydge Quits. Toronto, May b6.--Despite the ef- forts of the Port Arthur officials to keep the Allan Cup holders intact for the 1927 season, it now seems assured that the amateur champions | of the world will be wrecked. Capt. Billy Brydge arrived here on Sun- day and attended. yesterday's game at the new Leaf Stadium. He de- clined to state where he will locate, but he announced that he will not return to Port Arthur, and he also gent a telegram to the Port Arthur club officials advising them of his final decision. It is known that several O.H.A: clubs would like to secure the ser- vices of the Port Arthur stars, and rumor has it that Chapman and Cox will be in Western Ontario in time to qualify. From reliable sources it has been learned that the New York Rangers have signed Goalkeep- er Chabot and Alex. Gray, the clever centre man. Whyte of the Fort Wil- liam seniors, it is alleged, signed with the Rangers, but has since re- gretted his decision and will refuse to report. A court case will likely result. Whyte is not very heavy, but is sald Yo be a clever performer. It is now known that the New York Rangers have signed "Ching" Johnson of the Minneapolis Club of the Central League, but that John- son is anxious to break up the agree- ment. Johnson is the property of the Western League, and it is un- likely that Frank Patrick will agree to allow him to go to the New York Club unless the latter pays a heavy price. By many Johnson is rated as the best defense man in the west. In signing players in the west while the agreement was still in force between the Western Canada and the National Hockey Leagues, the New York owners opened the way to be severely criticized by others who had kept faith. Tex Rickard, however, stated at Mont- real last Saturday that he was oppos- ed to the breaking of agreements and that he would see that justice was doné in regard to this raid. Frank Patrick also promised that a suitable adjustment would have to be made. SENIOR O.H.A. CLUBS TO QO INTO NEW SOHEME Proposed to Form Minor Pro. League a Dead Issue. Toronto, May 6.---Minor profes- sional hockey in Western Ontario appears to be a dead issue, a dream that fortunately never came true. Monday night's representatives of five Ontario Hockey Association clubs were in session 'with some of the O.H.A. officials at a meeting here, and it was decided that if con- ditions are favorable the clubs will stick to the leading amateur assocl- ation, and form a group in which six teams will play, and all must Dave artificial home ice. Windsor, Niagara Falls, Stratford, Hamilton Rowing Club and London were represented at the meeting, antl the O.H.A. officials agreed to call an executive meeting here on Friday night and discuss the situation. The westerners would like to have the University of Toronto graduate team enter this group. It is propos- be possible for each team to play 30 games, with the first, second, and er A Apa es THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG ASEBAL SCORES International League. Toronto, May 5>--Toronto turned the tables on Newark yesterday and won the second game of the series 2-1, in ten innings. - It was a bril- lidnt pitchers' battle between Joe Maley, for the Leafs, and Hankins, of Newark. After retiridg the Leafs in order from the third to the tenth, only eighteen men going to bat in six innings, Hankins ran into an un- lucky break in the deciding round. Maley was aided by sparkling sup- port from the Leafs who made four double killings during the game. The Leafs regular outfield is out of the game through injuries. E. 2 R.

St. Thomas, May 5.--The reported action of the executive of the O.B. A.A. in suspending all players in the Intercounty League and recommend- ing to the A.A.U. of C. the cancella- tion of the players' amateur cards is not taken very seriously in this city. St. Thomas in its game with Guelph on Saturday did not play a man who was not in possession of an amateur playing certificate, and the Guelph management did likewise. The locals refrained from playing young Udel at Guelph's request on account of the lad's certificate not having arrived. He was suspended last fall for taking part in a tourna- ment at Sarnia.
