(Continued from page i) IS SATISFACTORY HELD “RIVERA!“ lis; ‘ Sn_bs., And now we know that it is not. good form to rag the umpire, but it seems to us that this was an excep. tional case. In the first place, no matter how honest a referee is, he should not be the member of a team that the winner of the game he is refereeing will likely meet in the next. round of the series. Per- sonally we could hardly believe our eyes when we saw Rocherâ€"Lis- towel's star defence playerâ€"skating on to the ice with the bell. No mat- ter how honest a man might be, he could not help but have certain prejudices in such a case. In the second place, we think he exceeded his authority when he overruled the tirst decision of the goal umpire as to Durham’s first goal. And last but not least. we do not think that he checked up on the Elmira team as strictly as he should. Time after time. one or more of their players were deliberately loafing ofl‘side in the neighborhood of the Durham nets. He should have seen them and sent one chap at least ad the ice. For these reasons, it is to be sin-; eerely hoped that the Northern League does not. send Mr. Rocher hack to referee a hockey game in Durham The line-up Elmira (l)â€"Goal, Rudow; defence, \. Seiling, W. Hillismentre, N. Bil- lis_; wings, _G_ flailing Detwoflcr; The return game will be played in Elmira tomorrow night, and if Durham plays the game they did here. and get a decent chance, they will trim the spots oil' the Waterloo County pucksters. Here’s hOpingl‘ From gon'g to gong, the third per- iod was a hummer, and most every- body was on their feet a great part of the time. Every member of the local team was right up onhis toes working his head 01!. Elmira were working desperately around their own nets to prevent a score, and for a while, it looked as if they would succeed. The Durham goal was scored from a scrimma e in front of the net. The Elmira p ayers were going to mob the goal umpireâ€"also one of their own menâ€"for hold- ing up his hand. It sure was a tactical blunder on his part. But then they should have coached him in his part better before they sent him on to the ice to look after their interests. Tho second period was much like the first until'ncar the and when Elmira pushed the play down into Durham ice, and Hillis scored their 0119 and only.‘ went through on one of his spectac- ular rushes and shot from close in. 'l he puck dropped on the twine at the tOp of the net. and to“ 011 the ice Schutz batted it over the line before the goalie cleared. The goal umpire held up his hand for a goal, and it was then that Durham got the rawest deal and the fans were heated to the most bare- faced piece 11t 111bb11rv that has 111.1111 been com- mitted 1111 Durham ice. In spite ot the fact that. the umpire had held his hand up, Rocher took his word when s11 said he had made a mis- takeuand in spite of the assurance. of the spectators who had a better 11han111. of seeing the play than the umpheâ€"«disallowed the goal. 'I‘heie me am eral hundred Durham hockey fans who are just about sore enough to do something unpleasant if Mr. Rocher attempts to referee a game here again. The rest of the period wenthy without any score. It seemed to us that Durham was pushing the play right from the start. The boys were working hard and deserved to win by a larger margin than one goal, as they not only had the edge of the play but were the better team. Durham took the offensive at the facoeol)‘. and shortly _a_ftpr Schutz In most respects, the game was a good one. There were only a cou- ple of penalties handed out, and they were minors. Elmira were reputed to be a much heavier team than Durham, and had the ed e by a few pounds on our lads. he have some nice skaters and bar check- ers. Their goalie is a “bird.” He stepped a whole bunch of dandies. There were no stars on the home- sters. unless it was Schutz. Every member of the team worked with all his might, and if they had a little more iinish. they could make EI- mira look like a lot of lamp-posts with anchors tied to their feet. As it was, in the last period, the had them checked to a standstil and skated 0!? their feet. A lot of hard luck couplml with some opportunities that were missed combined to keep them from taking a lead to Elmira. It is no exaggeration to say that it was as nice a game of hockey to watch as one would see anywhere. Both teams were working hard, and both played a clean. strenuous game oi_hockey._ _ -‘ Durham (”â€"6081, McDonald; de- was sitting right behind. the Elmira goal and is in a position to take an affidavit that the rebound was caught by Selmtz and heaved into the twine. The goal umpire -â€"an Elmira manâ€"held up his hand. Rocher skated up and asked him if the puck was in. and the goal umpire promptly said it wasn’t. Whether the tally-keeper behind the net missed his cue or not we can- not say. The long and short of it was that the goal was not counted. It would be correct to say that Durham won its first home- - home game with Elmira 2-! ast night. Unfortunately the score that the umps. will turn in to head- quarters will show the game a tie, 1-1. To say that “there is some- thing rotten in Denmark,” is not overdoing the line. ‘The _scril)e 1.06M. THAI ROBBED 0? 1-60“. VICTORY Rum.

The proper method of loading a car with barrels is to lay them on their sides, chalking the first tier from 12 to 18 inches from the end of the car and placing the first end to it. The second tier should be. staggered with the first. Barrels should not be loaded more than fem tiers high, preferablylhree. _ The inner sliding doors of stove cars and Eastmas boaters should be securely drawn, the stove-pipe door of tho former. as well as both doors of the latter and I'ofi'igm'ator cars. should be protected on tho outside around all seams by building paper battenod with laths. When loading sacks, the first tier should be placed eared end facing outwards, so that it is 12 to 18 inches from the end of the car and each additional tier slightly farther back. This will permit freer circu- lation of air, and as the load is built out and up, each bag in the second and succeeding tiers will rest upon two bags beneath it. In no case should the stock be loaded closer than 8 inches from the room of the car. The floors and walls of all cars, with the exception of the end walls and central floor racks of refriger- ator cars, should be covered with heav sheathing paper. to a height on t e walls of at least three feet the sheets being folded carefully over all corners and junction points and allowed to overlap at least six inches.
