Permission was granted Gallagher to play in Belleville. Some of the hockey clubs which lost money while operating in the O.H.A. are commencing to wonder how they are to hurdle that $17,000 salary limit obstacle nest winter with a $5,000 cash bond atop that. There will be some sighs for the good old days in Western Ontario, when O.H.4A. clubs used to run crowded excursion trains to their out-of-town kames, and\ hockey was hockey. In addition to the uncertainty at Brant- ford, there is a stumbling block in the way of the league in Toronto. Secretary W. A. Hewitt of the O.H.A. points out that "the St. Patrick's Hockey Club controls the Toronto territory within a radius of ten miles of the city, 'and the management have decided that they will not permit another team to operate in this locality. That settles that. The pro- moters of the new league desire to affiliate with the . National Hockey League, and they can do so only by accepting the decision of the St. Patrick's club in regard to territory. It is proposed to build a new rink in Brantford, and when they get through paying for that they won't be very keen about sinking more money in a pro. team." The junior league teams, Circle-Six and Victorias, clash on Thurs day morning at ten o'clock in a Junior City League regular fixture, The Circle-8ix will be without the services of Berny Tetro, who has jumped to the senior ranks. Johnny Sullivan, who has been playing the left field position, will be brought into the receiving end and Jerry Gallivan will Hkely begome a fixture in left field in Sullivan's place. % Both junior teams have been getting in plenty of practice and to- morrow's game should be a sizzling affair, Scott, Kingston left field player, has been transferred to Sudbury and will be, therefore, lost to the Kingston Seniors. "Scotty" will be missed from the local lineup. While he had not been hitting his stride in' batting this season thus far, he had made some pretty catches in the field. Last year he was a valuable man to the Kingston team and he was doing well in the fleld again this season. gee "Scotty" moved and the members, along with the fans of the city, with whom Scott was very popular, wish him every success in his new post at Sudbury. } BARERAML National League.
