WITH THE ou A New League Formed, And It Will] Have an Important Bearing on the Future of the Sport. i The New York Times says: "Hock- ey has long been recognized as the| best of the winter competitive games, Land only limited accommodation has prevented .a growth in New York] | City commensurate with the standing of the sport. There are indications] that the coming season will see a dis- | tinct change and a more general in-| terest in hockey than has been evine- | ed since the Canadians first intro-| duced the ice game to New Yorkers. | Since the passing of the old ey | Rink the ony available place for hock- {ey has been the St. Nicholas Rink, | where the American Amateur Hockey League contests between representa- tive American and Canadian teams. St. Nicholas is still in line for the more important matches, but increas- ed interst in the game and more general participation is made poss- ible by the addition of more rinks in Greater New York to meet the grow- ing demand of New Yorkers for ice sports. One of these new ventures, the Ice Palace of Brooklyn, has al-| ready begun by catering to the school-boy element, and an organiza-| tion of Brooklyn High school teams | has been formed, with the idea of making hockey one of the important | sports for school Dboys across the| bridge. "The new league is likely to have | an important bearing on the future! of the sport, as it will provide ready- | made players to recruit the college and club ranks and do away in a large measure with one of the old evils-- the importation of Canadian cracks to maintain: the playing strength of the local sevens. The prospects of the Amateur Hockey League, too, appear to be particularly bright, as, despite the fact that the New York A.C, one of the old stand-bys, will not be re- presented in the league race, there are seven teams entered for the championship--Tour from New York and three from Boston. It is true that Hobey Baker, the most spectacu- lar citizen of the United States that ever graced rink competitions, will be absent from the St. Nicholas line- up, but the fact that he has put him- self outside the sphere of league ac- tivities by moving to Philadelphia is likely to add a greater interest to the team contest. With such a stumb- ling block removed, the other clubs may well find a greater incentive to try for the laurels held by St. Nicholas. Keen contests may be an- ticipated, with a royal battle in view when the winners of the Boston series meet the victors of the New York end in the final games for the cham- pionship. Moreover, there is a chance of Philadelphia coming into the fray in future, for it is scarcely probable that such a dyed-in-the-wool player as Baker is going to rest content un- til he has introduced the game in Quakertown and organized a team to back up his wonderful skill with the puck." AN EMPTY VICTORY Will Be the Yale-Harvard Game Next Saturday. Yale and Harvard are making final preparations for the biggest football game of the year in the east. But the glory of victory this year will be empty. At Providence, R. I., there are justified claims that top those of Yale, Harvard and Princeton, and all the rest of the gang. Brown, with the husky negro, Pollard, as a main- stay, has whipped both Yale and Harvard, who have victories to their eredit over Princeton. Brown still has a game on its schedule, and in Colgate, the Providence eleven will find a worthy opponent on Thanks- giving Day. . It is unfortunate that schedules do not call for a meeting between Pittsburg and Brown. These two elevens are the class of the east without a struggle right now. | Neither has seen fits standard trailed {in the dust this year, and what is more, they have won their games by a preponderance of figures that leaves no room for argument. Pitts- burg hasn't met Harvard nor Yale, but it probably is just as well for the elevens of those two chesty universi- ties that she didn't. * IK J +* + ® 0 WHIG, WEDNESDAY, N OURSE » FOR AN AMATEUR. An amateur athlete, one gathers from the report of the legislation committee of the Amateur Athletic Union, must not be guilty of any of the fol- lowing crimes or misdemean- ors: Wearing an assumed mon- iker, competing for money, coaching for money, associating with scoundrels A who make money out of athletics, selling prizes or trophies, capitalizing his athlyetic fame by selling sporting goods, boosting same, or writing for the newspapers. There are also several other prohibition, but these seem to be the principal ones. It would seem that the safest course for an amateur athlete who cher- ishes his standing is to follow the example of the country store loafers who "sometimes set around and think and some- times just set" dl + BAFEST ( + - $ + AALS EAE RIE ERE AREER ARR] SPP PIPPe tree erred * Sd dd PPOTTTTS sevyTY TORONTO'S N.H.A. TEAMS. Are Very Likely to Provide Consider- able Rivaltry. The two N.H.A. teams in Toronto are expected to provide considerable rivalry, and the prospects are for some real excitement in professional hockey circles. The 228th Battalion as a soldiers' organization will have a strong following, jespecially from the military, but the Torontos, will have some soldiers themselves on their line-up, and on that account may divide the interest. From pre- sent appearances the 228th will have Percy Le Suer in goal, Howard Mac- Namara and Art Duncan as the re- gular defenge, with George Mac- Namara and Goldie Prodgers as re- serves. Prodgers or Duncan can also play right wing if necessary. In centre ice will be Eddie Oatman, '"'the bullet" from the Pacific Coast League; Armous Arbour, the best player of last season's champion Can- adian team, will be at left wing, while for spare forwards there will be Merchant, from North Bay: Roxie Beaudro, the former Kenora star; and Gordon Meeking, who is expect- ed to be back to his old-time amateur form. The Torontos will have Claude Wilson in goal; Harry Cameron, Ken Randall and Andy Kylt on the defence, also:another star from the north country; for the forward line Gordon Keats and Cyril and Corbett Manager Livingstone expects to get a local amateur star and also to get another forward in a trade for Harry Meeking and Skene Ronan. Shakespeare and Rugby. Shakespeare must have been a great football "fan." In fact, some of his linés indicate he was an expert in the old style game. In Anthony and Cleopatra" he declares: * "Tis sport to maul the runner." "In "The Merry Wives of Windsor" Bill says, "Breaking of ribs was. sport for la- dies," and in "The Tempest," "Some sports and painful." 'If Bill did not mean football, When in "Henry VI." he said "I saw no better sport these seven days," he was not referring to the recent Har- vard-Princeton game, As a general commentary on football, the Board of Avon avers, in "Henry IV.," "Blows and groans applaud our sport." No- where does Bill make mention of the onside kick.

In the World of Sport] [woes worss. The decision of the Dental College players fos to affiliate with St, Pat- rick's Athledic Association has not aused the Irishmen to abandon their tention of having a senior team. Dick Irwin, Stanley Marples and Clement Laughlin, members of last year's Monarch hockey team, have left Winnipeg for Portland, to join the Pacific Coast League champions. The Hamilton District Brigade League will have four teams in com- petition, Sevens have been entered from 205th, Tiger Battalion, 164th Battalion, Canadian Mounted Rifles and "27th Battalion. Divisional Cyclist Corps have a number of capable hockey players, and expect to round out seven as soon as ice is available for practice 'purposes. Lieut. Forgie is looking after the hockey affairs of the corps. There is some question as to whether the High School Hockey League will reorganize this season. Parkdale Collegiate are making plans for the winter, and propose to play exhibition games in the event of the league deciding to suspend. Word comes from the Coast that President Frank Patrick of the Pa~ cific Coast League, has not yet given his consent for the release of Eddie Oatman to the 228th Battalion. He has asked Ed. Savage, the Portland manager, to furnish him with the correspondence, Skene Ronan, who belongs to the Canadians, is a holdout, according to a report from the East. Up around this meck of the woods the opinion is that Skene has only been holding on for the last two seasons. The Ottawa Citizen remarks that both Sprague and Odie Cleghorn signed with the Wanderers this sea- son at $800. If such is the case why there are a lot of players in the N.H. A. who should be playing for noth- ing. Goldie Prodgers, of the 228th Bat- talion, is a little doubtful of his ankle standing the grind of the N. H. A, .season this year, Early in the sum- mer Goldie had the misfortune to break that member, and while it has healed up, yet it is very weak. MANY NEW FACES ON O. H. A. TEAMS Will Take the Places of 8ol- dier-Players Who Have Enlisted. The O. H. A, had 101 teams play- ing the game last season. A large number of them were exclusively military, and most of them (except the extremely young junior teams) bad players in khaki. The bulk of these soldier-players have gone over- seas or are in training camps throughout the province, and a new crop of hockeyists will be in evidence this winter. The O. H. A. bas of- fered every inducement and encour- agement to hockey players to join the colors, and the response has been generous and whole-souled. A number of last year's O. H. A. players have not only reached the firing line, but have beem reported as casualties, and to fill up the gaps "other hockey players are on their way to the front. Writing from ham-by-the-Sea. Sussex, Eng- Capt. James T. Sutherland, of the First Casualty Training Battal- Jon, president of the O. H. A., writes ~--*"The O. H. A. is greatly in evi- dence here, where Canadian soldiers pass to and from the front. I have dozens of hockey players with D.C. M. and military medals galore going through my hands and back to duty. They are fine fellows every one of them, and it makes me fell proud of the O.H.A." To' encourage recruiting, the OH. A. last year at its annual convent- jon decided to automatically rein- state all suspended players (not pro- fessionals) who enlisted for over- seas service.
