THE SPORT REVIEW "PAT KENNEDY PLAYS GOOD GAME WITH MCGILL. Kingston Looked For In Senior O.H. - As Series -- Hamilton Hockey Clubs Busy the Hatchet, Western University has its foot- ball and hockey men training on the same field. The London Institu- tion will have a senior feam in the Invercollegiate hockey league this season and will alse be represented in the O.H.A,, and Northern League. Owing to MeGill "not being very strong iu substitutes, and not wish ing to take any chance on having the team injured before the 'Varsity game: in Toronto a week from Sat- urday, the exhibition game between Hamilton Rowing Club and. McGill that was proposed for this Saturday in Montreal, has been declared off. cs The factional disputes 'between the HamiMon Hockey club, and the €en- tenuials, which disrupted the game in this city last winter, will not be evident during the coming season. The clubs have joined hands Hamilton expects to have the best year in' its hockey history. The Ha- milton hockey club is a dead issue and the Centennials have:thrown in their Jot with the Hamilton Rowing | Club.

Players who professionalized them- selves will be forced to accept the promised salary' reductions or re- main idlé this winter. There will be na place to jump, the N.H.A., and Pacific Coast League having renew- ed their territorial and salary agree- ment. These ' two organizations now represent all the professional hockey in the dominion. With the Maritime Provinces lea- gue out of business this season there will be no dearth of players anxious to sign with NH.A., teams. With salarfes cut to a minimum and an- other lean season in prospect, the outlook, for those who have joined the hold-out brigade is not good. If the "profs." expect much patronize they will have to get down to "war prices" at the box office. ; In point of weight the McGill rug- téam is the lightest in the 'gter- collegiate rugby league, furnishing x agiking proof that weight and * WI HOE NOTE essential toa winn football team than brains and "The average weight of the squad, per man, is 163% pounds.' by Pacific Coast ieague baseball clubs Will have to get along with a salary Hmit of $5,000 per. month next year, aceording to a decision announced," The present season was admited. to have been disastrous financially.

The German troops which started out for a 'pleasure trip" to ' Paris are now reported, owing, no doubt, to the influence of British environ- ment, to be taking their pleasures sadly. Several redsons have been given for the destruction of Rheims cath- edral. The real one is now said to be the following. Owing to the Red Cross flag being flown from one of the towers the Germans thought the building was only a hospital ee. A Scotsman gifted with much na- tive humor wishes it to be known how glad he is to see that the Frenchmen have been getting their Aisne back. "It is reporiéd that the Raisersdsd proceeding to East Prussia to! gas- sume the chief command there. In Petrograd the news is only credited by exireme- optimists. It does not say much for the enter- prisé of our English newspapers that we should have had to go all the way to India for a reference to what must have been an exceedingly clever capture of one of the enemy. "AS the war progresses, says the Times of India of the 20th ult., "the, stor- ies of German brutality become more and more frequent. One in- stance is shown in a letter from a German soldier captured in a mail- bag in Lorraine." We have always held that the Turkish sense of humor has been underrated. A leading Ottoman statesman has told Der Tag (the newspaper of that name: the * real thing has not turned up): "We only fear for Germany one thing-- her magnanimity towards the eon- quered, a quality which she shares with the great Turkish conquerers of the past." There is reported to be an uneasy feeling among the poor in our big towns that, if hard <imes should come, an aftempt will be made to foist on them many of the weirder garments which kind-hearted ladles have been making for'the troops. The attention of the public is be- ing directed to the value of fish as a food, in contradistinction, we sup- pose, to its remarkable qualities as a perfume. A London-born Italian organ- grinder who was plying his trade in Wales, has, the Express tells us, en- listed in Lord Kitchener's army for foreign service, and has left his or- gan in charge of the recruiting of- ficer at Barmouth.

We dwe to them the present bloody war. Therefore, take reprisals for the cunning of the en- emy and for all our sacrifices when we now meet them. " 'Show them that it is not easy to wipe out the Germans history now that we are face to face with an enemy who is the greatest obstacle to peace." "It may be recalled that Emperor William recently, in congratulating the commander of the Bavarian ar- my corps for the bravery of his troops said, according to the Lokal Anzqiger. of Berlin: 'I sheuld tike the Engle" fo meet the Davartens just once more.'

Letters received here indicate that M. Max, the former burgomas ter of Brussels, is still being held in Leipsic by the German officials. His refusal to turn over to the invaders the fire department tower and lad- ders led to his arrest. He said the ladders were needed to protect Brus sels. 'When later the Germans took the ladders by force they found that the Belgians had rendered them un fit for service. German mechanics, however, repaired them and took them to Antwerp for use in .direct ing the fire of the gunners. POTASH EMBARGO RAISED.
