The Toronto Globe gave the fol- lowing article regarding Roach: 'Roach made many brilliant saves. He had little or no chance on the six shots that beat him. On the play, Leafs deserved a dozen goals, and that they were limited to six speaks vol- umes for Roach's ability. The Leafs showed no mercy in attacking his citadel. They pelted him with terrific + drives from all angles. They were , determined to win. Once late in the second period, one of Charlie Con- acher's hard shots was taken by. Roach high on his chest, just where his pad thins off, and the little goalkeeper, after trying to appear unhurt, sagged slowly to the ice under the torture of the blow. He quickly revived and re- sumed his place amid applause from the fans and just as courageously faced the shower of pucks that en- di d him during the bal of the game." Each member of the Maple Leaf played a star. game, all giving 3 they had. Their winning has the result of splendid team play, each one working for the team not the individual. The goals of the third game were - scored by Blair (2), Jackson, Finni- gan, Gracie, and Bailey, for the Leafs; Boucher (8), and' Cook for the Rangers > and The sporting editor of the Globe says: : The game, witnessed, of course, by a capacity crowd, was a thrilling spectacle, replete with exciting inei- dents and stellar hockey, and the ac- , tion was sustained to such an extent that the interest of the vast assem- "blage did not lag for a solitary moment. It was a fitting climax to a splendid campaign by the Leafs. : Every member of the winning team ~~. and every official actively connected 3 with it is entitled to unstinted praise. The Leafs appeared far from a team " of championship possibilities when the _ season opened, but they went about their work doggedly, improved grad- ually, and battled their way to the leadership of their section of the league. They did not hold that lead, and eventually, after a keenly con- tested race in the "home stretch" of the schedule, finished second to the 'Canadiens. Then came the play-offs. They eliminated Chicago, the same 'Black Hawks who had wrecked their " gmpionship aspirations a year pre- viously; met and vanquished Montreal | MR TRUCK DRIVER | cep off the side streets of : the play-off semi-finals, 'the last hard test of natter of record that they showed a definite superiority in every depart- : ,| ment over the New Yorkers, who, in their first meeting in Toronto last November 21st, had given them a beating which practically amounted to * | a hockey lesson. Ten years ago the Stanley Cup was won by Toronto St. Patrick's. Now the Leafs have regained it, regaining it in a season in which the competition has probably been keener and the teams more closely matched than in any other year in the history of the National League. No wonder all To- '| ronto--yes, all Canada--is proud. of the Maple. Leafs, professional hockey champions of the world. Rangers, in defeat, need offer no 'apologies. They were beaten by an unquestionably better team, but not for a second was their fighting spirit subdued. Dangerous until the very last minute of play, they put every effort into their valiant, but vain, at- tempts to offset the clever forceful at- tack of the Leafs, and emerged from tors, and that was good losers.- Once the contest was over and the cham- pionship won and lost thé New York tati pted their defeat rep: ves like true sportsmen, and.were quick to congratulate their conquerors. They had given their best, and when. that best was not good enough they did not begrudge Toronto the laurels which the Leafs had fairly and squarely won. " Bravely trying to stop attacks after his teammates failed, John Ross Roach, who once wore the uniform of Toronto St. Patrick's, gave a remark- able exhibition of goaltending. Tt was due to no fault of the diminutive vet- eran of some ten professional hockey campaigns that any one of the six Toronto goals were scored, and if any New York sports writer tries to make him the "goat", as was the case when Rangers lost at New York, that writer will have ample cause to be ashamed of himself. He had no chance to stop any of the six goals, but he did turn back shot after shot in sensational manner to keep the "Leafs' victory from developing into runaway affair. He was in a difficult position. Blamed, unjustly" from all accounts, for the previous Rangers' defeats, he refused to adopt a disheartened attitude, but instead took his place in the goal- mouth to play one of the greatest games of his career. : TORONTO NATIONALS WIN AMATEUR TROPHY By defeating Fort William, in Mon- treal, last week, the Toronto Nationals won the Allan Cup and Senior Ama- 1 teur Championship of Canada. They were given a civic reception on their return to Toronto on Saturday. morn- ing. HINDENBURG RETURNED AS | PRESIDENT OF GERMANY.

Tea Again Comes Down in Price Tea prices are cheaper today by ten cents on the pound package, or five cents on the half-pound package. ~ An- nouncement of a price reduction was made last week by the Salada and Red Rose tea companies, who do a very large business in package teas throughout Canada. The reason given by these firms is that teas are cheaper in the primary markets of Ceylon, Calcutta and London, England, and also, because of the deflation of the}. pound sterling. The price reduction has been con- templated for some time, but was postponed until after the announce- ment of the Budget proposals in the House of C Tea hant expected a tax on tea,but as there was|' no impost announced they were able, last week, to make a downward re- vision of ten cents on the-pound, or five cents on the half-pound. From an Admirer of Roach We' have just received a letter from Mr, Walter Donaldson, of Yonkers, N.Y., a former Port Perry boy, who is an admirer of John Ross Roach, and writes as follows: "Your write up in regard to the hockey match at Madison Square Gardens on Tuesday, April 5th, be- tween New York' Rangers and the Maple Leafs, was alright as far as you went, but the Globe said nothing about the brilliant work. of John Ross] Roach in the net. Had it not been for his great saves, the score would have been greater, "I have seen nearly all the hockey games played in Madison Square this winter, and never before was Ross called on to show his brilliant work as goalkeeper, as he was at that game. The Leafs simply rained shot after turned them back. The goals that were scored on him were like rifle shots, and I don't think any goalkeep- er could have stopped them. Lorne Chabot did some good work in goal but he was not called on to meet the hard shots that Ross had to meet. ~My reason for writing is that some rumors have been going around here] that Ross laid down in that game. I had a seat very close to him and I will say he is a wonderful goalkeeper." Ld Many farmers are taking advantage of the opportunity to secure trees from the Forestry Branch this spring for reforestation purposes. The form- er limit of 3500 trees for one individ- ual has been rescinded and the land owner can secure as many as he wishes for reforestry work. The limit of 500 trees for windbreak pur- poses still applies. The trees are sent out the latter part of April so that interested farmers should act quickly.
