"natural," and all the spare shekels were being pinched tighter than a Scotchman's corn in_prepara- ticn for a brief sojourn at the Ford, the Waverly, or some of Toron*o's hos pitable hostels, It loked like a big week-end-- Stratford Midgets at the Canadiens at night, a dance after, or probably a few hands of five and ten. * * * Tossed A Wrench Into the Works Ed... Wildey's erstwhile Nationals, tossed a wrench into the works when they took Dave Pinkney's kids down the alley to the tune of 6-2 on Monday night. That ef- fectively effaced the first, and most important part of the excuse for the week-end outing in the capital of our fair province, so the exodus is not 'likely to be so heavy as at first 'planned, especially in view of the fact that Canadiens are not providing any- thing startling in the way of opposi- .tion in the National League this year, 'and should not extend the speedy Maple Leafs to any great extent, a % * Local Fans Feel the Same Way About It Neither Dave Pinkney nor his Mid- gets are likely to be exactly crestfallen over the beating which the kids took from the Rangers, and local fans feel the same way about it. The Rangers had it over the local kids in experi- ence, and have been in training for a month and a half. True, they are rated as one of the clubs to beat™this iyear -- along with St. Mikes -- but if they meet the Midgets two months from now, they may not have things quite so much their own way. The two games in Toronto will do Dave'se kids a world of good. Their experien- | ees in Toronto will give them assur- ance which will be of inestimable ben- efit in their group games. The loss of the S. P. A. Cup should remove the old jinx from the camp ofthe Midgets. As a traditional omen | of ill repute, the old mug lived up to its reputation last year. Few teams seem to be able to win the S. P. A. | Cup and then come through in the O. H. A. as well. The Marlboros |, were one of the few teams to do a "double", and look what happened to them last Summer. So perhaps Dave and his gang should wave the trophy a fond farewell, and settle down to the more serious business of O. H. A. | competition, which, after all, is what, really counts. * * * May Then Bump Up Against A Stone Wall The announcement that Ray Get-' liffe had been granted his card to play here this Winter was not hard to take. The London boy was popular here last season, and the way in which he at- tracted attention wherever he played was sufficient proof that the confid- ence which local fans had in him was | well placed. Getliffe ran into a bunch of tough luck last season, and seemed to start in on the same trail again | this season, when he received a nasty 'cut in the eye in the first work-out. |Lf he has escaped the jinx now, there | are a lot of forwards who are going | to find themselves bumping up against _a stone wall when they try to barge , 'goalward past the Dent-Getliffe duo. _this Winter. ee i rampaging Rangers, | ;Leod are three 'iate on Wednesday afternoon. Ice Likely To Be Ready Next Week . Ice is likely to be available at*the local arena for hockey work-outs next week, and the rail birds will have their first opportunity of looking over this year's edition of the Midgets. It will be a good break for Dave Pinkney, as it will eliminate the necessity of costly and bothersome trips to Kitchener; It is just possible that an_ exhibition game will be arranged with the Brit- ish Consols of Toronto, The cigarette men are going like a house on fire. Maple Leaf Gardens in the afternoon, | They seem to like exhibition games, At Brantford the other night, they de- feated the Brants in what was de- scribed as one of the best displays of hockey seen in years by residents of the city behind the dyke. bd eS Once They Start They Get Places As was freely predicted, the rampag- ing "Y" Aces toppled the Educated Ducks out of the first berth in the City Basketball League. But the Aces knew they had been through a basket- ball game, and it was lucky that they were not caught without the services of Jacobson, as they were the night the Benedicts almost took them into camp. One: of the real surprises of last week in the cage loop was the © victory which Wally Edwards' C.N.R. team punched out over the strong Y. M. B. C. team right in St. Marys. As we predicted a week or so ago, it takes Wally and his gang a while to get going, but once they start, they get places. et eee But Jack May Stage A Come-Back Now that the bars have been let 'down for professional] atheletes who have been out of competition for three years or more, a number of Stratford hockey players will probably be slip- ping in their applications as soon as the three years are up. Bord. -Nor- folk, Shorty Quesnel, and Spike Mc- whom we: have in mind. Then, too, there's Jack Mc- Cully, but Jack may stage a come- back in pro ranks this year. None of 'these men have been in action since the ill-fated Ontario Pro. League fold- ed up at the end of its first and only season, in 1931. % The Way They Drift Out * 'Is Just Too Bad Stratford would need to get some reinforcements from some place. The way the ssenior hockey players have been drifting out of the city has been just too bad for any person who was particularly anxious to see more than one team here this Winter. Last week it was George Shaw. This week, it is announced that Jack Davidson, the Mitchell boy, who came here three Winters ago, has been moved to Tor- onto by the bank with which he is employed. Davidson is a gentleman, both on and off the ice, and his de- parture from Stratford is to be re gretted, * * * Say They Were Beaten Before They Started Stratford Collegiate senior rugby squad can fold up the togs for the season as a result of the pasting which they took at the hands of Galt Colleg- The beating was somewhat of a surprise, in view of the fact that Stratford beat the Galtonians here. According to re- ports from Galt, the local kids were beaten before they started, owing to an overdose of stage fright. Why that should be is rather hard to explain, unless it was the long lay-off which got under their skins. in Sina ce i gaat Fist aerses Sere, oe A Tip forMen on Christmas Giving YOU CAN'T go wrong sending her a gift of fine hos- EB : iery.

Not To Entitled Privileges Nov. 2%.--A learned judge laid down yesterday that British justice is independent of "Whitehall'"--the government -- and that Scotland Yard, merely because it is headquarters of the British po- lice system, is entitled to no privi- leges. The declaration was made by Justice MacNaughton, in Court of King's Bench and last night oc- easioned widespread § discussion. The case involved was trivial in it- self, centring on a motor accident. Of the utmost importance, how- ever, was the fact that the judge rejected the plea of the home secre- tary by ordering the production of a so-called police "secret document" which, in itself, is merely a state- ment concerning an accident taken by a person who might afterwards become accused in connection with the accident. The plea of the home secretary was. contained in a letter from the minister (Sir John Gilmour) pro- duced in court by Sir Thomas Ins- kip, the attorney general. This urged that it was against the pub- lic interest to produce the docu- ment. His lordship demanded the docu- Ht Lt] 2 ment be produced in court. It was 'a >) produced, and after declaring there i, Be was nothing in it conceivably in- 3 jurious to the a interest, he . \ Say ~~ a Wu read the whole thing aloud.
