According to a Hamilton rumor, the 227th Battalion may withdraw from the intermediate series of the O.HA ~ Tillsonburg will have a junior team im the Northern League, not a senior one. Four~of last year's Paris players are available for the 215th Batalion team who are stationed at Brantford. It is likely that Jimsa# Stewart, Toronto Dental left wing, the stitches taken out of Monday. the will have his foot on Next week the N.H.A. season will get under way. The three opening games are: Ottawa at 398th, Torontos at Canadiens, and 'Wanderers at Que- bec. The single referee system will pre- vail in the N.H.H. for the first few games at any rate, although President Robson will likely appoint two men whenever the Canadiens and Wand ers meet, or when Torontos and the 228th clash. Owing to the fact that Picton has dropped out of O.H.A. intermediate group No. 2,, the schedule has heen rearranged. It is now composed of Lindsay, Cobourg, and Peterboro, For signing a contract with two clubs, Player Labelle, of Montreal, has been suspended by the executive of the Eastern Amateur Hockey As- sociation. "Pete" Payan, who was a member of the Montreal Canadiens several seasons ago, will in all likelihood try for a place on the French team again this winter. * Baseball Pros. Alone Endure, New York Times:--Baseball is the one exception with regard to profess- ional sport. In the main this has not been a year of success for the professional athlete, While amateur sport has made tremendous strides, the professional game has lagged or fallen back, This is no doubt due to the increase in amateur fields. One or the other had to suffer. Pro- fessional sport must always be a spectacle, else there is no purse and no incentive. . Apparently the public has definitely turned away from the spectacle, except with regard to base- ball, and turned. to the activities in which participation is feasible.
