SEASON OPENS ON DECEMBER 27TH Livingston's Motion to Have Two Series Adopted b the League. ¢ | The, National Hockey Asgbciation's season will begin on = Wednesday, | Dee, 27, and will conclude on Satur- { day, March 3, the N., H. A. having adopted the playing schedule at a meeting in Montreal. The schedule will be played in two halves. The leaders, of the first half will play off with the winners of the second half' at the end of the season for the championship. Thus a club which gets off to a poor start may have a good chance to win the champion- ship. The single official system was adopted, so the president can appoint either one man or two men for a match. The rule governing the throwing of a stick to prevent a goal being scored was changed, and now when a stick is thrown to prevent a goal being scored the referee shall allow a goal and face the puck at mid-ice. The point system, adopted last sea- son, will govern the championship except in a tle the percentage rule will be applied to the games won {and lost to determine the winners. | A complimentary luncheon was given to the retiring president, T, Emmet Quinn, and he was presented with a silver tea service as a mark of appreciation of his services to the H.

Michigan State has voted "'dry" and will join-Ontario on the prohibi- tion water-waggon a year from next May when the new law goes'into ef- fect. This law will cover the city of Detroit, which is conceded to be the most wide-open city in the east. Joe Jackson, the Detroit baseball writer, quotes a man whose business it is to follow professional sports and amusements and whose contention is that a dry Detroit will mean beftered baseball attendances by anywhere from 10 to 25 per cent. dependent on business conditions, and that gen- eral amusement enterprises will pro- fit also, but in lesser degree. His point is that parties of two or three fans who, under present condiions, get started for a game and end up by anchoring in a saloon, and piker bet- ters who -spend their afternoons around the saloon tickers, when else- wise they would be at the game, will go to the games when the town is dry and there are no saloons to gather in. The same thing applies to Toronto, although tickers have not been allowed in bars' in this city for years, rnin Knocked Out The Referee, Benny Chavez, a featherweight of Trinidad, Col., knocked out the ref- eree in a bout with Freddy Hamann of Kansas City.

Lajoie Out of Job, Nap Lajoie's contract has run out. Connie Mack is sald to be on the trail of a younger second baseman. Lajole probably will not be with the Athletics next summer. At the pres- ent time no other major league club wants the services of the great vet- eran. Possibly Lajoie will be op2n for a managerial card in the Ameri- can, Association or the International League, Although Freddie Welsh is willing to take on Champion Johany Kilbane in.a 12-round bout at Toledo, O., for the guarantee of $10,000 offered him, the chances of the men com- ing together are very slim, as they cannot agree on the weight question. Welsh wants the weight to be 135 pounds at 2 p.m. while Kilbane de- mands 133 pounds ringside. BOXING GOSSIP. Manager Weismantel, of the Broadway Sporting Club of Brooklyn has decided to match Tom Cowler, the English heavyweight, and Bob Moha, the pudgy Milwaukee heavy- weight, for a ten-round bout at his club on Nov, 28.
