[AL )(YI'ES Another Rap At Poor Old Reube. {Chesley EnterpriseJ That report. from Palmerston in The Globe savers of poor sportsman- ship. After losing four games in a row. leaving them undisputed occu- pants of the cellar position in this group of the O.H.A., some poor toot ‘in the railroad town sets up a holler that Mercer of Markdale is ineligible to play with Chesley, and that Tot. ,ten is ineligible to play with Wizar- ;ton.

Frank Murphy. to whom was cred- ited the. letter which appeared in last week's Durham papers, denies having written. seen, or having any- thing to do with it. This last thing was the straw that broke the camel‘s ‘ hack. and Frank would certainly like to place his hand on the 'xk!zszu" that. wrote the letter and signed his name to it. Mr. Murphy says he has lots of sins to answer for, but not. this. Between getting lost on his way home from ref ereeing the Mount Forest-Durham game here '1 week ago. in which he and his partner, by not turning at. the Darkies’ Corners landed within three miles of Flesh- erton. and other misfortunes, Frank says he has troubles enough. On his trip from Durham. after driving for two or three hours with a driver who said he knew all about the road he was forced to go into a farm- house to make inquiries as to where he was. The first farm he stopped at waved him. away with a lantern and warned him not to come any nearer. There was scarlet fever in the house. At. the next place Murphy; and his ml were mistaken for “Red“ Ryan and his accomplices, but. after some silver-tongued oratory on the part. of Murphy Co._. they were al- lowed to put. their horses in to feed and make a shake-down on the kit- chen floiir. They landed in to Mount Forest the following afternoon, be- ing delighted with their tour of the t0\\'IlShiD5 east of Durham. And as if it. wasn't enough to have to run the gauntlet. of not. knowing enough to come home from Durham. some- hmly had to palm off this other thing on him! S’too much. Durham â€"â€" McDonald.

However, there was 114! la- crnssu being played in the district, and so it. did not. make much head- way. The duty of the O.A.L.A. if it is to preserve the fair name of lacrosse is plain. First of all, it should return the money to the hospital board with the strict understanding that. the whole amount be used by the hoSpital, and it should obtain from the llOSpltal the name or names of those members of the Dufferin La- crosse Club who claimed the refund.

This letter imparts the astounding information that “the hospital board returns the amount on account of a misunderstanding as to the disposiâ€" tion of the money. The Dufl‘erin La- crosse Club claims that this money was to be refunded for the benefit of the two clubs concerned, less 8100 to be retained by the hospital. This was not. the understanding of the hospital and under the circumstan- ces they have no alternative but to return the money.” If ever a situation needed explain- ing, this one does. Who is behind this attempt to make. the Lord Duf- ferin Hospital a catspaw in fooling the public? This hospital is con- ducted by the Daughters of the Em.- pire and to drag these public-spirit- ed women of Orangeville into such a fraud, is another discreditable angle of the whole unsavoury mess. Amwu‘dingiy. a cheque for $761.56 was sent to the hospital by the O.A. The whole affair added little to the peptilarity of the sport and the 0A. LA. was condemned for letting the teams get away with such a deal. However, it. was definitely decided to give over the receipts of the tie game to the Lord Dufferin hospital at (lrangeville. and those who had the interest of lacrosse at heart hop- ed that this decision would in some measure “square” the matter as far as the disappointed fans were con- cerned. When the Maitlands and Dufl‘erins decided to call it a day after playing the regulation time and 10 minutes overtime without breaking a He score. ofl‘icials allowed them to do so deSpite the fact that the O.A.L.A. rules demand a battle to a finish. The game was witnessed by a record crowd of fans who wanted to see the contest decided one way or the other. Many protests were lodged with the officials and the teams were accused of being "gate-hunters” when it was decided to play the contest at a later date. These teams are prominent in the Senior Ontario Amateur Lacrosse as- sociation and this organization is threatened with one of the worst scandals that have broken out in amateur sport in Canada for several years.
