She sure would go well with that flashy Cadillac Lind- say isdriving . . . . In speaking of the recent deal between Detroit and Chicago, the Hockey News relates that the trade might be just the thing for Babando as he may find himself in Chicago. vThe paper also says that the memories of sporting fans are the poorest in the world as a few short months ago Babando was the toast of Michigan but today he is ahum, but not for long. We have a feeling that the Black Hawks are the "club for Pete and he. is going to enjoy many good seasons with them . . . . When Lynn Patrick quit the coaching chores of the New York Rangers this spring alter a very good year as a rookie coach, many rumours were flying around about the poor relations between Patrick and manager Frank Boucher’but' Patrick laughed them off, saying that he wanted to go to,Vic- toria to be with his father and live in a small city among other, things. The rumors turned out to have something to them though as Patrick accepted the coaching duties of the Boston Bruins last week . . . .

Then we come to the sad plight of the once powerful Bombers. The onetime greats are coasting along with only two victories to their credit and at the present moment it could be their only two wins of the year as they don’t seem to be able to win the close ones.

One of them got up and walked over to the grill, put his. hand over it to see if it was warm. Apparently satisfied, he resumed his seat. Then they both got up and walked away, one east and one west on Al- gonquin boulevard. About two minutes later the wait- ress returned.

This day the team got over the bridge without difficulty in the morn- ing journeyed the 12 miles to Matheson for groceries, supplies and the much heeded hay. When they returned to the bridge just past Shillington, the logs from the approaches of the bridges were floating and he, being of the persistent English stock, decided he was going to make that team and wagon cross that span regardless. And so, whip in hand, he started to make the team cross. They tried hard, all to no avail, and the team floundered for reoting. ' Meanwhile, people half a mile away heard roars for. help and when the late Jack Doey of Shillington,‘ then only a lad, a1 rived, he saw father floating down the river on a bale of hay, grocereis on another bale. The haygfather and the team in time were rescued and brought to safety as more help came.

This was, as near as I can ascertain, the spring of 1914, when all the bridges were built of logs. With'each spring flood the approaches would float away and even the centre logs would float away sometimes. _ Wiped Out in Minutes v REAL ESTATEâ€"WSURANCflâ€"MOBTGAGES Rooms Gordan Block.

By this time the girl had drifted to one side of the river where she was able to get out hwerself It was exciting for a while as her safety depended upon whether she hung onto the log, but with encouraging calls from the shore panic was averted.
