LAI/ONDE SIGNS CONTRACT. Frenchman Will Again Play For Can- adien Champions. "Newsy" Lalonde has thought bet- ter of it and has decided to winter in Montreal after all, and give up his Cuban project. He has come to an agreement with George Kennedy, and will again be a member of the Canadian N.H.A. team, with the un- derstanding that Mr. Kennedy can use him in any capacity from that of simple player to playing manager, He is a valuable man outside of his knowledge of the game in that he has a large personal following amongst both: the French-Canadian and tie English-speaking hockey enthusiasts. N-- Ross Asks About His Status. Art Ross, in a letter to Secretary Martin Rosenthal, of the Ottawa Hockey Club, asks his exact position as an N.H.A, player. Art. frankly ad- mits he anticipated a big cut ir his] salary from last year, but that he conld not neglect his business in Montreal and play in the capital at the figures offered him' this sca-on. club during the summer to make what arrangements he could toward Wwooking up with one of the Montreal teams, but has not heen declared a frea agent.

He| played for Pittsburg part of one sea-| son and then went to Toronto of the old Ontario professional league. Dubbie played just one game in To- ronto when he was grabbed by the Ottawas in the N.H.A. with Which team he played, with the exception of one year when he was out of the game, until he came to Victoria three vears ago. Kerr's career in the Coast League is too familiar to the hockey fans to require any spec- tal mention and can be summed up by saying that as a wing man he has been the class of the circuit dur- ing the past two years." BAGGED 2 GERMAN PLANES, Well-known Toronto Football Player Now on Way Home. Flight Sub-Lieut. Everett Smith, known as "Ev" Smith, the well-known T.R. and A.A. and Argo- naut football player, arrived at Hali- fax, N.B,, yesterday on the Corsican with a number of other officersswho are coming home on leave. * Smith has been flying in France, during which time he brought down two Smith first came into prominence as a football star with T.A.A.C. at Rosedale Field fon a Thanksgiving Day afternoon about five years ago. Argonauts and T.A.A.C. were playing a game for the city championship, and many in- juries took plate during the game. Smith was a spare backfield player for T.A.A.C., and was never consider- ed of much account, but it finally came that they ran out of all the spares but Smith, and he was shoved in to make up the necessary fourteen players. He was the star of the game, and since that time has been considered one of the best backfield players in the game. OVER MILLION INCREASE. Attendance at American League Game Greater Than in 1915. Paid attendance at American League baseball games for the season of 1916 was 1,017,197 more than 1915. These figures, which were an- nounced to-day from President Ban Johnson's office, were credited by him with being due to a 'restoration of the stability of the game," follow- ing the year of upset in which the Federal League contended for major baseball recognition. : The close race for the 'American League pennant also was partly re- sponsible, Mr. Johnson declared. The report will be given out at the an- nlal meeting of the club owners De- cember 14. The total number of ad-| missions was not made public. i AFTER LONDON'S BOXING.

London hopes to have a strong O. H. A. intermediate team this season. There are several capable civilian " rmers in khaki in the Forest V Among the candidates 228th Battalion O. H. A. are Bay, New for the senior team Bunkley and Brennan, of North and Hogarth, a goalkeeper from Liskeard. On account of the scarcity of pro. plavers the Pacific Coast League may be forced to adopt six-man hockey this season. The bob-tailed game is unpopular on the coast The Hamilton Hockey Club will not practice until the second week in December. In addition to a ma- jority of last season's plavers there will be ten or a dozen new candidates for places. A canvass of the players and man- agers of the local O. H. A. teams as to the advisability of the abolition of body-checking as propesed in an amendment to be discussed at the an- nual meeting of the association, re- veals the concensus of opinion to be against the adoption of the amend- ment. However, there are strong arguments offered by both sides of the controversy, and the matter will not be disposed of without spirited discussion. Manager 'Mike' Quinn, of the Que- bec N. H. A. team, is figuring on using Ritchie and Crawford on the defence this winter, with Hall and Mummery as substitutes. Ritchie and Crawford both have speed to burn and are clean players, some- thing that cannot be said of the tactics used by Hall and Mummery. Professional hockey players have killed the game in Duluth, according to one_of the oldest and most en- thusiastie patrons of the sport in that city. Otherwise the Zenith City would this year be represented in a league with the copper country teams--Sault Ste. Marie and St. Paul. Wiley, an Oshawa boy, who was a member of the Eastern All Stars one year, is now residing in Hamilton, and will be asked to turn out and try for a place on the Hamilton O.H.A. intermediate team. News has been received at McGill University that Gunner Eric Parsons the clever centre man of the McGill hockey team, has crossed to the firing line with a draft from the Canadian artillery in England, where he has been training since early in the summer. Parsons was the best forward on the McGill team during the past few years. Smythe, a former Sarnia forward, now living in Hamilton, is a mute. He is regarded as a first-class player and is almost sure to catch a place on the Hamilton intermediate team. FOOTBALL IS COSTLY.
